VIDEO: SOUPED UP SCHOOL BUS: CUSTOM MOTOR HELPS CHARITIES ACROSS THE WORLD

CAR enthusiast Jerry Bowers wants to keep kids in school - with a customised hot rod SCHOOL BUS. His unusual creation, called The Shortcut High Bus, combines the body of a 1949 Ford school bus which he customised to fit a Cadillac Eldorado frame.  It took Jerry, from Virginia, USA five years to create the custom low-rider and now he uses it to promote education for children. Along with wife Brenda, Jerry drives the bus to charity events, car shows and schools and always has a positive message attached.
