My Bus; The Movie Star.
« on: September 08, 2005, 10:48:27 AM »
My bus got the part in the film that was posted on this site a few weeks ago.

http://www.airspeedparts.com/community-for...=ST&f=24&t=5653

The bus is away right now, I will rest easier when it is home on friday.

Look for it in the film \"Boss\"      It wil be out sometime next year at the film festivals.


They told me they got the cover from airspeed: was a nice cover

Hey Darren,
they did tow it with the cover on.....   I didn't even think about that.  You mean the cover flapping and scuffing the paint right?

Maybe I should call them and get them to tow it home without the cover on?  what do you think?     I know they were concerned about stone chips from the truck.  

I have no experience with towing vehicles.

Lets hope they don't do to your Bus what they did to my friend's nicely restored Thing.  They drilled holes in the front quarter to mount a camera!

I rented my vert to the guys that were shooting the Sea Hunt series years ago in victoria. Polished and shined it up only to have them put black tape on all the chrome and spray the car with \"movie dust\" to make it look like a beater. The money was good but it wasn't what I had in mind when they asked.Wayne

cool, these guys don't mind spending the cash.

I rented my vw caddie to the guys doing the Terry Fox movie here in newfoundland this summer. they gave me $250 for the day, and they asked me to drive it in the movie so they payed me another $250 for that.

On another note, I also did some work on some picture vehicles, man the shit i did to those.lol any broken or chipped glass, i just beat out with a hammer, fixed any holes with duct tape and sprey foam, and I painted all the cars with what ever i could find. But these cars wer junk to begin with , and their only used as backgroung military vehicles. it was filmed in Gander NL it's called Above and Beyond.

oh, and the Terry Fox movie will be on CBC this weekend. I'm the guy driving the vw caddie.

Well, I don't think I'll ever rent my van again.
They promised to repair the damage, but what a pain in the ass.
I whould have listened to my gut on this one, not my little bank account.  What they paid me is mot worth the heart and headache.

How the heck did they do that?
A friend of friend rented his 66 lincoln convertable out for a music video and it got trashed and had a guitar thrown through the windshield.... Turns out that later the groups lead singer(Gob) bought it and turned it into a overhauled version of what it once was. But what heart ache.
Make em' pay clark!

Why do it once when you can do it thrice?

That sucks, Clark. At least they are fixing it and hopefully you got some decent cash.

Kirin, it wasn't a guitar it was Theo's knee that went went through the windshield. He was trying to climb over onto the hood while they were filming a driving sequence with a camera mounted on the hood. It can be seen in the video (I don't remember the name of the song). There was also cigar burns on the seats and some other damage. I know the owner of the car (at the time) and I was in Tofino during the video shoot. I actually helped them get some of the surfing shots for the video.

Very interesting Bill. I remembered something about upholstery and something through the windshield so \"guitar\" sounded right. Small freaking world though...
Clark I hope all the best in getting your bus right again...
