Wounds of the Flesh
After the roof was in place and secure, the next task was to enclose the bus. To achieve this, Michael used metal panels to close the middle section of the bus where the windows had once been. Things didn’t go without some hitches though. Michael was actually cut on his arm by one of the metal sheets, and it left him with a permanent scar. He later said that having to secure the metal paneling was “easily the most painful and bloody part of the build.”
Building An Oven
Since the bus was now enclosed by a layer of metal paneling, Michael could now install something he never imagined, an oven! He exclaimed how “the bus is basically an oven right now, what being solid steel and in Texas. Though apparently, it’s also semi-bulletproof!” Since it was Christmas time, the graphic designer turned-builder even put up some fairy lights, to give the bus the festive cheer. Micheal also had to prepare to install new windows, so he started to cut out holes in the walls.
