Man! You folks are too cool!
Thanks for all of the replys!
I am getting good ideas here!
BTW, there is a Honda 600 on e-bay right now, went from a start of $200 yesterday to $1,500.00 and climbing, three days out!
I share the concern about the safety.
The idea is to just use it as a runabout, nothing long distance at all. 
I am looking at maybe (Note the word Maybe!LOL) doing a shortened 23 T-Bucket street rod, still trying to get measurements.
The Honda looks real good and real doable too!
Again...THANOS!

I seen (I think it was on the Manx site) a 23T with a VW motor in the back and it was a blower motor!!!!!!! Pretty cool! But that one imparticular wouldn't work. The tires themselves were too wide!!!  ;D  Love it!
But that concept might work. You may need to do some sectioning tho.
  Keep us posted!

I am wondering if I can't somehow do a 23 T-Bucket and make it where I can slide the front end and back end out to extend it when in use by use of a rail within a rail??????????

I just Googled 'T bucket" and "Tot-rod" and came up with the site below (In the UK Tot-rod are kids hot rods - don't know if the term is used in the US or not)

I personnaly plan to use a UVA Fugitive as a Toad (I already have two of them, and also have a long-term plan to build an electric one). Since I will often be pulling a boat behind the bus I have already designed (in my head) a double-deck trailer to take the Fugitive as well - but the thought has occured to me that the Fugitive is probably sufficiently light that it could be carried on the roof of the bus - I just cannot think of a practical way of getting it up there.

A shameless plug for my business - visit www.magazineexchange.co.uk for back issue magazines - thousands of titles covering cars, motorbikes, aircraft, railways, boats, modelling etc. You'll find lots of interest, although not much covering American buses sadly.
