Gotta love it ... must be the fastest Bus Grease Monkey hill climb ever and resulted in needed diagnostics of the oil leak potential ... one of our famous Texan "Hold my Beer" moments forever captured on video

These old ones will test every nerve you have , but in the end the passion and love for that mechanical thing make the problems and worries just fade away with a big smile! Good job guys. Thanks for sharing.

When I was taking ceramics in 79 I wrote "clean is good" on the blackboard. My art teacher Pete Kuentzel made approval to me in a humorous sort of way the next day. I felt like grasshopper. Thanks Sage, Jason, and Bus Grease Monkey. Lovely machines.

That is anodized aluminum I would never use a compound on it because that would strip off the finish.

Scotch-Brite would strip the original finish off. I use a product called belly polish designed for aircraft.

@@SilversidesSage you may want to look into Mother's CMX. It's a ceramic coating that really protects and gives it a deep luster. The more coatings you do, the deeper the paint looks. I use it a lot on my 2001 and 1968 Mustangs. On fourth spray bottle.

That’s school kids behavior there and I think most all of us here are beyond that type of stuff. Scott has made more comments about Sage and his buses and what was happening with Sage in numerous videos that weren’t about him or his bus and I don’t feel that Scott in any way intended to shun him by any means and in fact I wouldn’t have ever noticed it had you not made your comment so I think it was just more of an editing thing that just got overlooked as pieces of video clips got sewn together so give em the benefit of the doubt this time and let’s move forward with some more good videos from both of them. Take care Don and be safe out there!
