GF Worked on Valentines Day I was on daddy duty. Tuesday came around got asked to be in a magazine for my business, booked a bunch of events had dinner reservations at our favorite place and we dropped close to $400 because we never go out or have any time to ourselves. Multiple cocktails and insanely good food later we start talking about our business and got into a fight that didn't get resolved till this afternoon. Started off great ended poorly...
I love the fact that I have 13.3k posts and apparently I have a "newbie" badge...

I like how the bar tender towers over the customers, helps them assert their rightful dominance.

Got the engine back in the bus and got it running decent. Got the vinyl cutter cruising with some good settings to do our menus. Our tow truck and trailer worked ok after spending $2000 on getting my trucks frame rewelded. I think I need to do the brakes on all of them now and the new exhaust for the tow truck wasn’t the right one for my truck it’s misfiring because there’s no exhaust on it right now. My trailer brakes aren’t even hooked up they’re just dragging a little. We made the hour long trip anyways and people went nuts for it. Girls guys old people young people asking questions getting compliments on all our hard work and on the cocktails. Felt so rewarding it was amazing. I can’t wait to start the BMW Bar Bike sidecar build now.

Well I finally got the bus outside engine is def going back which I didn’t want to do but I can’t push this thing around. I think my next upgrade maybe winter 2022 will be like a golf cart size motor EV swap so I don’t have to deal with potential fires in the engine bay from gas leaks but I can still move it a couple hundred feet.
Anyways posted it on FB then boosted it got tons of likes shares and feedback def more quotes going out than I thought which is good.
Also picked up a vinyl cutter so we can do our menu board and all our signage and those custom acrylic signs girls are buying for all their weddings.
here’s the pics…

Up from 6am till 2am getting this thing painted and clear coated. Holy shit...it was a long fuckin day but it looks insane. I got emotional; it was a a fuckin crazy year of learning. How to build a website from scratch, how to do videography, how to navigate paying taxes on my business, learning how to weld, learning how to do body work, how to manage money, learning how to do these bartending gigs and keep everything high quality, how to keep my gf from breaking down because she had no clue if it was gonna work, spending all our money and if I could do all the things I was trying to do for the first time.
Everything with our growth and gaining financial independence is based around this damn bus. For the last year it has been the center of happiness and frustration. Its here its painted the hard part is done. Now I need to put it all back together and get this bitch makin us money. We got a 4 gigs this month 3 with the bus for the first time, then a stylized photoshoot in June with some clothing line. Once this is all together we are going to be working our asses off till the season ends in like Oct I can feel it. Hopefully not working for anyone but myself next year.
Had to get it down fill pinholes, resand , reprime, rewetsand again to get it back to here:
Got the white on top
Pull all the tape off. Garage lights make the white look more yellow here but outside the shit pops
I'll post pics when I get this girl all together.

Nice work man!
We got close to painting the bus this weekend but some finishing putty was faulty and kept shrinking. Got a lot of the white and some clean on pieces. Next weekend it will be finished and it'll be time to put her together. We got photoshoots and gigs on deck so we gotta move!
Fixing this kind of stuff last weekend
Doors all back on.

Well I Paula Abdul'd tuesday and took 2 steps forward and then more than 2 back... Had a guy come and blast the whole bus to speed the process. Did the floors too it was amazing 2.5 hours the whole bus was done. Just being one person it took me a while to get set up and prime it. I was rushing because it was starting to get humid I think I stopped mixing the epoxy well enough when I got to the roof and the floor and rust started to bleed through in spots. Kept rushing on the roof and side door and had to store them in my enclosure which is just a sweat box I found out so those need to be redone too. I am hoping I can just get the rusty areas done and be good but who knows I threw $900 out the door and now am selling everything I can to get money to have one company do the blasting, primer and paint all at once...
Good news though they opened some gastropark that wants us to come serve they dont have a liquor license and are getting bartending services to come in so we have an opportunity to make a little cash anyways.

I picked up "the trailer I wanted". It's a 20' deck over axle equipment trailer. I intend to get a skid steer and they weigh a little more than 10k lbs. Trailer can hold 14k. Electric brakes.
@Some1- I want to install a winch plate with the cable going through a hole at the front of the deck of the trailer. Is this something you've done or can give advice on?
@misteraven- this should tow my lawnmowers what do you think? 😂
No clue!

Here’s the VW bus trailer...rusted the eff out no floor inside it’s going to be a huge rebuild I’ll post more progress soon. I am making two videos for the business. I learned how to do editing in Adobe premier over covid. I’ll share them when they’re done they’re awkward and ridiculous but fuck it gotta do it.

Cool, like a mobile bar you can tow or like a backyard bar?
I will be towing it all around CT but it still runs and drives well. I took the engine and gas tank out to keep it safe when chopping welding and sanding stuff. Yea I got my liquor license and insurance all that. We can order from distributors do open bar, cash bar whatever we're hired to do in CT. This will hopefully be my GF's company she runs and I'll just do the heavy lifting. Its hard time to get off the ground right now even with our other bar with covid. Im reaching out to call apple orchards and pumpkin patches to serve cocktails there for the season.
The plan is to use the bar for service, weddings, parties, liquor & beer brand activations, company events etc. I am putting a 70" TV in the roof that I can take in and out to replace with chalkboards if people dont need video or want to throw their logos or whatever. I also have a photobooth we're going to build into the back hatch of the bus as an option this year. I bought a rusted out VW bus trailer that was made out of 2 busses that will house a bigger cooler photobooth trailer for 2021/22. I have a pro sound system and can DJ so we got a whole event services company we're building right now...if covid doesn't destroy my entire financial future like its slowly doing haha!
Another 2021/22 goal is taking a 1974 BMW R90/6 I have and building a side car rig with a top load fridge that I can make look vintage possibly welding on a 50's car wing or something on the side to make it look cool and put a 3 log draft system on the side car to do beer wine and maybe 1 cocktail on draft for people who want something diff... I'll get better on posting here I miss 12oz.

Well I've been working on a horse piss rotted trailer restoring it into a new bar for like months. The entire bottom half literally all the way up the sides was completely rusted and I had to replace the entire frame and walls myself. Got to buy an awesome new welder and plasma cutter, learned how to tig weld too! This was only my second time painting but it turned out alright def learned a ton now I have 3 bikes and a 50's jeep to build that my fiance wants to paint tiffany blue and pink. Ended up having to rent an actual shop which is dope to have and actually afford. Finally am 95% of the way there and its out working already and hopefully going to double my income this year so I can like buy a house or start another business or something.
Heres the progress shots. Also sold a cafe racer I build and I think I posted here a while back for like $10k and its going to a museum I guess. I have 3 more bikes to build and hopefully going to fetch close to that and then I am going to attempt to get my dealer license.
Theres more trim to go on and more lights and interior work. It was a $500 start to a project but in a few month once I finish it, it'll be even nicer. Chicks love horse trailers at their weddings I guess... this just doesn't have much cool factor for me...
