Don't get set off. I have been intrigued by a shorty. I think that it would be
easy. Just cut a slice off of the middle. There is no drivetrain. I guess you
would have to use a bus that had no chance for a life except as an amputee. The
weight would be more like a big Bug.
I would look at it like a baja.

If I wasn't serious I wouldn't have made this post. I've looked for some
shortys and have only found one and it was pretty far away...I'm sure there
have been quite a few made but I can't find them any where. I don't really see
her speeding around corners. And wouldn't you rather have a bus made into
something rather than just sitting somewhere or being crushed so it can sit
somewhere else in pieces and not even resemble what it once was? I know I asked
for your opinion and thanks for it, but the "are you serious?" thing kinda just
set me off.
And hell, if she dosn't like it and it turns out impractical then I'll sell
it or keep it for fun.
peace,
Shelby

1) They would probably make a pretty bad vehicle, cornering wise.
2) There are plenty of shorty buses that are already made (don't cut up a
bus to make one.)
3) Make sure you don't make one out of a split.
4) Are you serious?
