Orange Force One Party Bus

[denvertucsonlink]

Greetings from Tucson,

here are some pics of Meck77's ultimate tailgate party bus being built in Tucson. For those who dont know, Meck77, tailgate coordinator of www.orangemane.com has purchased a retired Greyhound Diesel Coach which we are converting into a party bus for all the bronco fans from the Mane. Sattelite flatscreens, crazy audio, bar and slide-out BBQ are just some of the features. Here are a few pics of the framing/plumbing/interior. Check back soon for more pics. Peace.

[bpc]

Looks like the process is just getting under way. I can't wait to see the final results.

[DarkHorse]

Sweeeet, Meck was telling me about this thing tonight and the work that you guys are doing to it.


I wanna see the stripper pole !Booya!

[Crushaholic]

It may not be close to being finished, but it's still starting to look sweet! :thumbs:

[denvertucsonlink]

Here are a few other random shots.

[DarkHorse]

Kick ass, that's bad dude!

Seriously thinking of flying out to Denver this year with the wife to attend a home game. Meck almost has me convinced and these pics may just put me over the edge to commitment.

Looking nice so far!

[bpc]

that thing is huge!

[watermock]

Looks like they have the insulation, bowels and nervous system on the beast close to done. It's further along than it might seem. Now the Aritiste' can take over.

[TheManeMan]

Wow...I'm so amazed of the work that you guys are doing...especially Meck for starting up this whole thing...You guys are on the right track:thumbs:...cant wait to see it in person in San Diego...please keep us updated!

[Orange4Life]

Wow! That thing is going to be fantastic. I can't wait to see the finished product. Surely your efforts will bring good karma to the Broncos this year!

[denvertucsonlink]

The vegetarian just finished the rack for the BBQ and we have it on a slide-out now. check the pics. :thumbsup:

[TheManeMan]

Wow...that BBQ is killer! This bus is going to be famous!

[Ratboy]

The bus looks great. i never knew how big it was. you'll be turning some heads.

[PatsWin2002]

Looks great.

A lot of work, eh?

[denvertucsonlink]

A few pics of the progress showing the installation of the wooden ribs that the cedar celing will attach to, and one of the subwoofer enclosures. Check back soon...

[denvertucsonlink]

[denvertucsonlink]

[denvertucsonlink]

[Boogerboots]

Damn fine bus!! Looks like it should even make John Madden envious when it's completed. Just one question. What's with the "Dale :moody: Carter" card in the collage?? Ex-Bronco or no, that guy is just BAD KARMA and should be removed immediately before the bus explodes.

Otherwise, keep up the great work. I am in awe :notworthy

[Meck77]

Wow!! Nice work fellas! I just got home a few minutes ago and saw these pics for the first time. I have to agree with the Dale Carter card DenverTucsonLink that one has to to go! Tell the Vegan he did some killer work on the BBQ! I'm going to rest up for a couple days and I'll be down there in a few days to work on the bus!

[Sassy]

Hey Meck is the bus going to be finished by the KC game? What's your timeline?

It's looking AWESOME! 8')

[denvertucsonlink]

Carter card to be removed ASAP! Meck- call me...

[denvertucsonlink]

Insulation is almost done, the generator, inverter and batteries are here.

[denvertucsonlink]

[denvertucsonlink]

Mobile ESPN anyone? :militia:

[denvertucsonlink]

almost done...

[Ratboy]

damn this looks swwweeeeettt!!

[denvertucsonlink]

Since the Mane was divided, we have an X Box and A PS2 to keep everyone happy. (possibly wireless routers to connect both systems and battle if the meck man approves) :alky:

[Meck77]

consider it done....but I thought we had 2 playstation systems already not just 1?

Only 6 easy payments of $1167

7500 Watts? Good lord, that Bus is going to be hopping off it's wheels. I imagine they will stow it below and it will be quiet as a mouse. I had no clue you were going to guys were going this far. I figured it would be a traveling keg and puke bucket with contact paper on the walls. Kinda like the Animal House.

And that inverter and grill. I doubt you guys can get the interior finished out, but god the wiring and everything is astounding.

Mock I'm personally offended. I've known the guys working on the OrangeForceOne since 3rd grade. I would trust these guys with my first born son.

It will be done.

Yeah we could have built a puke bucket but we are Broncos fans. Nothing but first class for the OrangeMane!!!!!!!!! :militia:

I think we could power up 3 other tailgates with that unit!

I opted for the Onan so we could meet the noise restrictions of the national parks. You see you can't have some piece of junk raising hell in yellowstone or rocky mountain national park for instance. I want to take this baby fishing and hunting and be able to post on the Mane so we need to be vewy vewy quiet while in the woods.

If we were Chief fans we would have just gutted the thing and painted it red. But we aren't. ^5 Thank God.

[denvertucsonlink]

Yep, Mecks goin all out on this one. If you consider that we will be running one 31" Flatscreen, one 18 " flatscreen, one 7" flatscreen, A regular tube TV for the outside, 4 amps, 4 10" Infinity Subs, 6 Polk components, 2 pioneer wakeboard boat speakers, Pioneer head unit, Dell computer w/15" Flat panel monitor, A back up camera w/night vision, 2 15,000 BTU AC/Heat pumps, microwave, blender, interior/exterior lights, PS2 and X box, VCR/DVD, mobile sattelite TV Internet gear, Back-up Direct TV dish and receiver, 2 web cams, 2 alarms and a whole bunch of other crap the Onan/Xantrex set up was the only choice :)

Mock, Its crunch time here in tucson, I say you hit up Meck for a ticket down here to help... Id bet the bus he'd say OK....

yes, its all here ready to go :militia:

[watermock]

I'll discuss it/w family. It's got to be tough working with only four hands at times trying to fasten stuff. I would probably wind up in Vegas fighting Slappy on Freemont street.

[Doc®]

Wow Meck, when we were talking about this on the phone earlier today I was having a tuff time trying to picture it, this thing is going to be awesome.........excellent work guys! :thumbsup:

[denvertucsonlink]

Here's the floor that goin in the bus. It super tough bamboo, finally made it through customs, very nice.

[denvertucsonlink]

Heres the company we might go with for the mobile cable and internet...

http://www.kvh.com/tracvision/

any thoughts from the Mane? reply soon...

[watermock]

L3 looks good unless your flat screens are HDTV, they don't mention it. In motion DirectTV and internet access looks logical. But I just looked at their product lineup. They seem like they have awards, but I am no expert.

[watermock]

I guess the 3 gives HDTV, the 5 doesn't give HDTV but is sleeker.

[Meck77]

Wait a second!!!!!!!!! I thought we had a flat screen for the shiater?
???

I don't want any of the Omaners to miss any pre-game action while taking a Chief!!!!

[Mile High Shack]

you need a foozeball table in there...lol

[denvertucsonlink]

dont worry, I forgot to mention the 2.5" TV located right above the urinal. Not sure if you will be able to see it when your crappin but at least you wont miss the game for a quick piss break... peace

[Meck77]

Ok NP....I sometimes close my eyes when I'm squeezing out a Raider anyway but a urinal flat screen is a must. :flush:

[denvertucsonlink]

By the way, all of us here in Tucson welcome this crazy project and are doing everything possible to make Meck's vision of joining the Mane with the "brick-and-mortar" world a reality. I have known Meck for way too long and he is the only person capable of convincing me and my team to drop everything ad concentrate on Orange Force One. You are all a part of this crazy internet project and we look forward to all replies fron the www.orangemane.com (thanks Taco!) Check this thread often as we are progressing...

Bless the Meck, this is for real...
:militia:

[watermock]

While your at it, why not put the 2.5 on a swivel base. Like a number 1 or number 2 position?

And I like those air purifiers, not that stuff that masks odors. I saw more plumbing back there than a small intestine. WTF is that?

Meck, everyone needs their Windmill. Don Quiote would be proud. Maybe Ponce DeLeon. Or both. Still the swiveling POV dumpster would be unique since you seem intent on overdoing it. And install a web cam for a good laugh.

It just tilts back and forth. That alone would make USA Today. Im laughing too hard at this point. But you could swivel the TV screen from the roof.

Let's give them more engineering challenges.

[denvertucsonlink]

OK, come tucson, submit a bid and we will have SAT/TV in the shiatter....Just kidding, the 7" is on a swivel, the 2.5 will be built into the wall above the urinal but we have wiring to put in a toilet cam to watch Mock pinch one... Votes? hmmm...

[denvertucsonlink]

Believe it or not, all of us here in Tucson are involved in "Windmiills" Check www.windenergy.com or southwestwindpower.com. Yes Meck, you do need a "windmill" This whole bus project is all about providing mobile power to the internet community, hence the crazy GenSet and inverter. When "Red Dawn" comes the Mane all of us will be pissin' in the radiator..... Peace..

Mobile Power to the Masses!

[Bronco Yoda]

Ok, I'm unveiling Orange Force 2 tomorrow around game time. What she lacks in size she makes up for in portability....

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/netizen/Bronco%20Avs/OrangeForce2.jpg

I'm going to take her for her first bb spin (beers/babes/bigscreen tailgater) tommorrow down at the local sports bar. Hopefully the bartender won't give me too much flack parking her between the can of olives and Sam's beer tap. I may have to change the tires to account for the highly polished oak surface. One spilled shot and I could easily go off the edge into the ice bin.

I've also engineered a screen room out of beer coasters and tooth picks and the below storage keeps my keys safe (when I fall off the bar stool and pass out).

One fly in the ointment however. Every time I try and use it's urinal it overflows big time. It's not a pretty sight...what-up wit dat? I'll just have to use Mecks this year if he don't mind.

Mecks super rig really looks to be one sweet ride in the making. way to go guys. You should all be commended!

[Blueflame]

Yikes! Yikes! Yikes! tsk tsk

Methinks that would definitely be way too much information! LOL

Seriously, though, you guys are doing a great job. Can't wait to see OF1 in Denver for the Bolts game. Cheers! :alky:

[Rock Chalk]

Git r done.

Velvelt on the walls, shag carpet, black lights, strobe lights and barry white on the 8 track!

I'm guessing after a day of tailgating Mock won't be doing much pinching. It will be more like trying to man the floodgates! Hope that vessel has lots of Charmin onboard! ;D

:flush:

[REB]

Holy Crap! That's gonna be 1 awesome ride! Great work guys.

REB

1-2-3-BRONCOS!!!!!!!

[Steve Shields]

I will be there on Sept.12th! What time and where will the ORANGE FORCE ONE be at the stadium?

[watermock]

http://i16.ebayimg.com/03/i/02/48/26/59_12_s.JPG

Look out, Chef Fan has been building his own ultimate tailgating unit specifically designed for the rigors off-roading in Denver's Canyons. This baby features 4WD, Wind and Solar Power and it's own peehole/gloryhole out the back. Would someone give it a proper photoshop paint job?

Tucson Link, I see you allready sold them on windpower! Did you guys build this thing? It's actually pretty cool the more I read about it. It's the ultimate neo-nazi/hippe-environmentalist machine. It's actually pretty cool.

Chef Fans, get on the Short Bus to Denver. :giggle:

[Meck77]

I will be there on Sept.12th! What time and where will the ORANGE FORCE ONE be at the stadium?


I'm not sure what time they open the lot. Someone said 8 or 9 am when the game starts a 2:00pm? Let's put it this way. We will be there when they open the gates. (see sig line for location)

[NaptownChief]

If we were Chief fans we would have just gutted the thing and painted it red. But we aren't. ^5 Thank God.


And saved the difference and retired a few years sooner. ;D


Seriously, how much jack is this project going to run you?

[Steve Shields]

I will be there Meck! It's time to party!

[Meck77]

And saved the difference and retired a few years sooner. ;D




I'm a firm believer in living every day as if it were your last. I'm not going to wait until I'm 65 years old to buy a house on wheels like they all do. It's time to hit the MileHigh pavement of life this season and every season there after!

I've been accused by quiet a few people of not dealing with a full deck sometimes. Heck many people accused me of that when I negotiated Eye Patch's exit out of the Orangemane. Isn't that right SSJ? rofl


Besides I am a real estate agent and love the business but I also love Broncos football. Let me rephrase that. Broncos football and football in general pumps thru my veins. When Taco appointed me Tailgate Coordinator my wheels started turning. They already had been. We had been struggling with getting food and gear to the stadium for years. It was always a hastle. The bus will serve in many capacities. On Sundays or Monday nights it will be HQ for the Orangemane. The other days it will serve as a mobile real estate office for myself, my partner, and Future Mrs. Portis (our assistant). You see some agents choose big Buicks to drive their clients around in.

Our vehicle of choice just happens to be a 40 foot Tailgate Vehicle/Mobile Real Estate office/ Sports Bar with every bell and whilstle I could possible squeeze in there in 60 days so that my clients or in this case tailgating group is comfortable.

You see we don't want our clients to miss any of their sports updates while we are out negotiating real estate. Many people go out shopping for real estate on the weekends. That just happens to be when most of the sports programming is on also. Our real estate team doesn't see why someone has to put down that beer, turn off the ball game on the TV, and get off the couch just to go out house hunting or land hunting.

In OrangeForceOne you can accomplish all of those at once while your kid is playing PS2 or XBOX and your wife is checking her email or taking a nap on the comfy couch while you can be an internet junky posting on the Mane or be sipping on your favorite beer watching an old Broncos game or whatever happens to be on Direct Tv that interests you!

Besides one of my personal specialties is land. Now when we pull up to your potential new property and you feel the need for a rib eye...... all we have to do is slide the BBQ grill out and have lunch! While you are enjoying your freshly grilled steak I can be running comparables on the land and doing the research. How many times has a real estate agent said "Well I'll have to get back to you with that information"? Well not anymore! I'll have it all at the tips of my fingers whether we are in the Eastern Plains of Colorado or a remote canyon near Estes Park!

OrangeForceOne! Who said searching for a house, a piece of land, or commercial propety has to be an upleasent experience?

OrangeForceOne......Bridging the gap between real estate and tailgating!

P.S. We will not be showing homes on Sundays during home games. :welcome: But you can come by our "office" at MileHigh for a beer and brat!

[Hotrod]

LOL bridging the gap between real estate and tailgating. LOL

[B-Love]

Meck,

Someday the Mane may be in Canton celebrating your induction to the Hall of Fans wing yourself.

Keep it up.

You'll join Norman, Barrelman, Hatman, etc.

[Broncofan_H]

Seriously, is there a way to nominate people for that? I would say Meck and/or TJ are as good as any.

That is pretty cool...Glad to see you are getting multiple purposes out of it, not to mention being able to expense a good portion. Life is certainly short so enjoying it to its fullest is never a bad idea. Good luck with the whole project.

BTW, if you need a Chiefs helmet to display in it just let me know. ;D

And it qualifies for the Section 179 deduction! ;D

[flair]

Great ride

[Meck77]

And it qualifies for the Section 179 deduction! ;D


Is that the deal where a vehicle has to way more than 4,000 lbs or something? I know a bunch of people starting buying Hummers for that reason.

Thanks Flair. I'm leaving back down to Tucson by the end of the week to put some more man hours in. Gotta get back to the ark!

[Meck77]

One more thing Flair. You outta pm ole#7. He is a hardcore flair fan. I was just at his house in St. Louis and those fools were quoting flair all night long. They even have DVDs of him that they watch religiously.

There is a hardcore group of Broncos fans that are in St. Louis. Thats the crew Disco use to hang with at Ozzies. If you don't see ole#7 around here drop me a pm and I'll link you guys up.

Aslo Stl Bronco Fan is in St. Louis. Oh and BPC. Hell the Mane is well represented in St. Louis now that I think about it.

[big56fan#1]

Man,Meck when you described Orange Force One I didnt picture it as awsome as the pics show. Your the man :thumbs: hopefully if i get a chance to come out to Denver next season ill have to check it out in person

[ol number 7]

Great ride

Space Mountain may be the oldest ride in the park; BUT; it still has the LONGEST LINE !!!! WOOOOO

welcome to the Mane. We talk Bronco Football which means the talk is of championship caliber. Every once in awhile a CHEFHEAD chimes in but as the NatureBoy says " the empty can rattles the most if you get my drift.
Ask Meck 77 and the biggest Flair fan of 'em all The DiscoMan where the REAL Bronco fans of St. Louis are. At ol number 7's. Stylin Profilin BBQin Beer Drinkin, hottubbin and of course the home of the Bronco kamikaze. WOOOOO

[watermock]

It should be worth about 100k when it's done.

It's going to be an icon for sure. I am still very amused. They are working like ferrets on it as I type. They are a month behind, but so was the invasion of Russia by the Nazis. That worked itself out.

[fuddsand]

WOW, Meck that bus looks amazing. I heard you talking about it in canton and made it a point to find it on the mane. you are really putting some dedication and hard work into be a true broncos fan. We all appreciate everything that you are bringing to the table and if you need any help with anything at all, don't hesitate to ask me. I am always down to help out a true Bronco like you. I totally agree with B-love, meck77 and OrangeForce Once are definately going to be in canton someday. I mean if some loser with arrows through a jersey, or some idiot who paints his face up and wears spikes on his shoulders can get in there, than meck77 your day is soon to come. I don't think in all my years living and breathing football and with all the games that I have ever watched that I have ever heard of a fan going to this extreme to become the ultimate tailgater in football history. I think that Joe Cahn should put you on the ballot as his running mate. Seriously, I have always wanted to get into real estate and I enjoy your take on keeping people updated with sports during thier prime thinking times (on the shiater) or cooking them a ribeye to enjoy the land. That's awesome, you can sign me up anyday. :militia: I will be there on the 12th for sure. I may have an extra ticket to the game if you know anyone who needs one. I will let everyone know later.

lmao @ that bus.

that bus, and the work you've done from scratch is unbelievable to say the least. great work.

sidenote: whoever is sponsering this must be rolling in cash

You want to get in the real estate biz do you? We might have a position for you Fudd. I'm going to need someone to buff the chrome every week.
;D Nah just kidding Fudd. Look forward to seeing at the game!

BTW......we are getting the internet hardware installed on Saturday. We migh be able to get the webcams up and running sooner than I though. I was exploring www.KVH.com but their service is rediculously expensive. $9,000 for setup, $99 a month, and $1 minute for internet!

So let's say we had a 6 hour tailgate that would be $360.00 just for online time! The sales rep actually referred me to the best thing going for interntet service for RVs/Monster Tailgate vehciles. http://www.datastorm.com/.

I talked to a dealer who lived in Dallas who just happened to be traveling thru Tucson over the weekend! We cut the deal and he will set it all up this weekend!

This system will automatically link up to the satellite with a click of a button. OrangeForceOne and Orangemane.com bringing the live tailgate to you at home.

We'll be able to have multiple Omane hookups while at the game via the wireless network the guy is setting up. Not to mention as soon as you arrive and stand near OrangeForceOne I can take a pic of you and zap it to the Mane or your family back home to let them know you have safely arrived at the stadium. ;D

I'm startintg to think that we are going to have to start a thread on Chiefsplanet the morning of Sept 12th to give those guys some updates during the festivities. ;D

Nice! Per your request. The KC pic Mr. Anchance you can pluck the mini Broncos bus pic lmao and stick it infront of arrowhead? Or better yet how about OranceForceOne? Afterall it wil be parked there out there this season. Just want to get an idea of what she'll look like on their turf. :thumbsup:

[Meck77]

I just realized that it has been less than 60 days since I first saw the bus. http://www.orangemane.com/BB/showthread.php?t=14212&highlight=time (this is the thread I started when I first saw it) That was June 22nd. I didn't get it down to Tucson until July 1st or so? Is that right DenverTusconLink? I can't believe how much has been accomplished this fast. I'm booking a flight today to get down there. I will be there this weekend!

To my Tucson Crew and "Reed" DenverTucsonLink you guys flat out rock. :militia: ^5

[Meck77]

Ok Ok I've been holding back some pics from my Canton trip. If we can't laugh at ourselves what good are we? I took this pic outside of Pizza City in KC. I'm sitting there and a Blue short bus pulls up and starts dropping off little kids in Ornage T-shirts. I'm not kidding! I was in tears when I saw it. Go ahead Chief fans. Here is some ammo.

We can take it. Gotta admit Broncos fans.....It's a pretty funny scene. Little orange people popping out the Blue shortbus. rofl

Could it be a child Broncos fan day care company operating in KC?

[Meck77]

That's Pizza City on the right. Look at em all. Little orange people everywhere! The Chief fans were scrambling for cover! They thought it was a alien invasion!

[Odysseus]

MADDEN has to bring a turducken on the bus. MANDATORY must be done. Get the letters rolling.

I'd like to pitch in but dang dude it's almost completed. Hey. I'm looking for some moutain property in the western part of the state. I'm willing to consider Wyoming. Give me a PM. I want at least 200 acres.

Thanks for bringing back tailgating with a vengence. I would love to take a road trip in this big pig sometime. Um wait...You aren't going to Oakland are you? Really. I'll...um see you there...You do know it's still Oakland right?

[Meck77]

Here's a shot of me infront of Pizza City. I was covering up the part that says "KC's finest" with my Broncos flag. A couple Chief fans didn't appreciate that. Plus Disco and I got some strange looks from the locals. Even had a cop say to me "Uh what's going on". I said nothing. I said "What am I going to get shot?" The cop said "I can't guarantee your safetly" He really said that!!!!

It's funny you mention Madden. We made a bunch of turkey legs at the Canton tailgate. We had them smoking when the Madden cruiser drove by. We saw John in his bus and people pointed at the BBQ. He didn't come by though. Believe it or not a freakin cheif fan and a skin fan at two of the turkey legs. I almost blew a gasket when I saw that. Ask anyone at the tailgate. I was saving those for him hoping a crew might come by at halftime or something and those scavengers were eating our turkey legs. I apologize for getting all worked up about that my fellow maners but that put me over the edge.

I'd be happy to help you out Q. We'll drive you wherever you need to go my brotha!

Oakland is on my list of away games. Aren't you in the military? We might need your skills to protect the bus while in Oakland. Good thing is we have multiple alarms and Web Cams. I'll be sure to let the fade crowd know that they are being broadcast online. ROFL!

Dirt is what I do! I'd love to assist you in any way I can.

I just got a call from the Tucson crew. YOUR Internet/Satellite system is being erected as we speak! The communications system for the Orangemane live tailgate to the Orangemane online tailgate is becoming reality right now!

WOO! HOOO!!!!!

[Meck77]

OF1 is online! Nice! Hey DenveTucsonLink. Any chance we can work on the color of that monitor? Or maybe for simplicity slap a nice Broncos sticker on the backside of the flat screen. Too much black for my taste.

Nice work Tucson crew. Big step is out of the way.

Hear them here...Yeah. I meant to do that.

The bus is looking good, Meck you're one crazy fan, i give you props. but like i said bus is great, i plan on seeing that bus in the fan hall of fame.

Hey DenverTucsonLink........You need to hook up the Alien detection system (ADS ) soon! Mock seems to think there is extra terrestrial life floating around OF1.

Thanks Tribbey. Are you going to be representing at either of the Florida away games this year?

[Mr]

Thats the sweetest bus ever, the OF1 Build Team Deserves a trophy... Filled with beer... and golden bikini models clinching SB tickets. Not to mention the praise of every Bronco fan everywhere.

LMAO.....I just noticed that post. Rock On! I'm the registered owner of the Data Storm system. I will just call cutomer support and they will give me the exact coordinate of the bus and I will meet you guys there! You do realize that you are linked via satellite.

[wabbit]

I'm a firm believer in living every day as if it were your last. I'm not going to wait until I'm 65 years old to buy a house on wheels like they all do. It's time to hit the MileHigh pavement of life this season and every season there after!

I've been accused by quiet a few people of not dealing with a full deck sometimes. Heck many people accused me of that when I negotiated Eye Patch's exit out of the Orangemane. Isn't that right SSJ? rofl


Besides I am a real estate agent and love the business but I also love Broncos football. Let me rephrase that. Broncos football and football in general pumps thru my veins....

...OrangeForceOne......Bridging the gap between real estate and tailgating!

P.S. We will not be showing homes on Sundays during home games. :welcome: But you can come by our "office" at MileHigh for a beer and brat!

Take note...ANYONE...THIS is a Bronco fan

When the roar strains the 'drums and the thundering rumble stresses the very foundation...I'll know where I can find him

Meck, I salute you

[Crushaholic]

Forgot to mention that the whole dish glows blue at night! a little hard to see in the pics but very cool...

3 blasts for Qualcomm and only 1 for Arrowhead and Oakland??

Talk about misappropriation of funds. LOL!

I might just leave Qualcomm up. 30,000 Broncos fans everytime we visit plus SB 32.

Leave Qualcomm intact just for the Helicopter move alone.

Aw hell, maybe hit the press box because of Timmy Smith, but leave the rest intact.

[watermock]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v152/Canucklehead74/San_Diego_-_Outside1V2.jpg

That's one butt ugly stadium. I say circle the flying pig and drop a final, finishing thermo.

Oops, sorry, I thought that was Iraq. Qualcomm isn't exactly a threat.

TShirt design:
Bright Orange golf shirt - THEE Official Unofficial Party Bus for Broncos fans everywhere. Underneath the OF1 logo --Bringing back the Orange-- Remember the last time the Broncos changed uniforms? Hmmm.

Face Time;
If you talk to one of the local radio stations I'm sure they would drop do a VNR or even a simulcast from inside the OF1 just for grins. It will allow you free face time for your business as well as bring down more Bronco fans to see this thing.

I think orange chromed motor is a bit over the top but....

[Meck77]

The job is yours Q!

This is my last post before signing off. I'm flying out of Denver soon and my next post will be from OrangeForceOne! I've been couting the days til I could break free and get back to work on her with the Crew.

Never thought I would be this excited to visit the heat of Tucson, Az in the dead of summer. arrrghhhh I hope that pool is still operational DTL!!!!

See you soon!

[Sassy]

Stuck on page 2.......

UP!

[BlueDamsel]

I was right - he did hand them all out before he got on the plane.
I thought he was going to log in earlier, but apparantly didn't get a chance to yet. I did talk to him earlier & he had made it to Tucson, even after almost missing the plane!

I'm going to sign out for tonight & will update in the morning when he calls!

[Meck77]

Meck made it to Tucson, here he is on his new slide out BBQ...

[Meck77]

eventually it will be plumbed into the 70 gallon LP tank.

[Meck77]

[Meck77]

We build orange and blue ramps too..

[Crushaholic]

Is that KC Masterpiece I see on the BBQ? tsk tsk ;)

[Meck77]

Yeah so what if it was Kc BBQ sauce? Denver owns KC so therefore we own thier sauce!

Fellas we are in good shape this season. Don't worry Bro we are burning pigs for the KC game with some Parker,Co bbq sauce from my boy Karl. You'll see..............

[watermock]

Wow. Slick. You might want to put a block under the front(when extended) in case some fool steps on it and bends that apparatus. I'm sure it's built Meck tough but that's alot of weight extended out quite a ways.

What's that second grill for?

[PatsWin2002]

Made it just in time to Arrowhead for the Chiefs/Rams game huh? Fans of both those teams just love Meck. Ha!

The bus looks great. I've really enjoyed watching it all come together.

I also get an extra chuckle every time I see Meck's orange and blue sneakers. It's just one of those "value add" things, I guess.

[dustybottoms]

never once was I skeptical, mind you, I just, well until now I think this could possibly be the best thing that ever came from a bronco fan. for years and years this is dedication, as good as a hunger strike, or some guy hanging out on a billboard for 15 days. congrats Meck 77

you should be proud.

you had me at the GRILL. man, that thing is unreal. theres room for like 6 tanks back there decked out in orange and blue. most people forget the floor...nice/

I've know that dude since 6th grade but hadn't seen him in 12 years. He just showed up! Anyhow we watched the Broncos lose many time together and he was a fan but somewhere along the way he got away from us when Moon was kicking some ass. I told him!!!!!!!!!! NO OILERS TAT!!!

Anyway he did it. When we were taking that pic he was like dude......nobody sees this thing. I said don't worry. Click. He's a good sport and a good guy. He is an electrician and he is going to be helping out now.

Thansk DB. Just trying to have some fun and kick up the spirit of the stadium!

OF1 came equiped with a 70 gallon propane tank.....This tank looks like one you would see next to a Chiefs fan trailer in KC ..It's big. ..lmao We have the slide out connected to there and just added two heavy duty valves to feed off the bbq slide. I'll get a pic and show ya later. Time is of the essence now. We have 14 days left! I can't believe this bus didn't even get to Tucson until after the 4th of July.

The small propane tank is there so we can cook for now until it's all hooked up to the big ass tank.

[watermock]

Nothing wrong with an Oilers fan. They were raped. I vaguely remember some wild card game when Warren Moon tore Denver a new asshole. We were like up big and Moon starts pulling wizards out of his ass, and we went behind. We won with an Elway comeback, but it was not one of Reeves finest hours.

Denver didn't deserve to win. The Duke pulled it out of his ass. I think this might be the year we went down in Buffalo. Not sure, checking soft drive memory...

[watermock]

I can see Meck working like Rocky the Squirrel right now.

I offered to come down and cuss at them and be Bullwinkle but they were not very interested.

Meck is probably on the barby with a turkey leg in one hand and a whip in another.

[watermock]

If it takes a couple months to get it all ready and tested....but I see Meck has the whip out.

I don't think it can be done in time. It doesn't have to be ready week one.

Mock, we weren't up big. They kicked our ass for 3 quarters and were up 21-6 in the middle of the 2nd quarter.

Moon was an average playoff QB. Had some moments but they were usually in the 1st 3 quarters.

No playoff QB squandered leads like him, though the Oiler D was admittedly the big culprit.

But if Moon could have sustained 1 more drive in each of those famous playoff losses (91 Broncos, 92 Frank Reich game, 93 Chiefs), they could have won important games.

He was also the starter in some inexcusable home losses. 1989 he loses at home to the Steelers in the WC round, and with the Vikings in 94, he gets blown out at home in the 1st round by the Bears, who had NOTHING that year.

Moon was never a big game QB to me. He'll get in the HOF, but I'll give a slight eye roll when that's announced. Maybe he deserves it, I don't know?

[B-Love]

Anyway, this is the Bus Thread.

This thing slices, dices and juliennes.

Nice work to all involved.

[Meck77]

Denvertucsonlink link just finished up the command center chair that will be co-pilot seat. This is where the brain/onboard computer system will be operated from for OrangeForceOne. Nice work DTL!

It has an orange crush patch on one side and and Old Logo on the other.

This is the chair folded down. It works as two chairs and converts to a bed/bench.

The drivers seat is on the left background.

DTL sporting an Ed jersey!

[Meck77]

Close up!

[Pezman]

Damn Meck... at this rate, I will be soooo unworthy of even breathing air in that rig. There is no way that you are gonna let a damn dirty drooling fool like me in and mess up the museum of tailgate... hehe

[Meck77]

This was an old boat chair. That's scrappy. Damn dog eat anything. It's crazy it only has one eye but he always knows where the BBQ is. He just hovers around it.

[Meck77]

That's the one I was looking for. Pez if your ass is clean you can chill on them. There will be nice view of the 30" flat screen from here. If the seats get's ripped I can just call DTL.

Hey Mock I think you are starting to realize why I brought the bus to these guys.

[Meck77]

Next year when we go back to Canton for the second anniversary party for John Elway getting in the HOF on Frank's land we will be using this 70 gallon propane tank. We could tailgate for weeks and not need to fill up.

[Meck77]

My boy bud the propane man added a couple of extra hookups like this so we can add extra BBQs if need be. If a fellow tailgater near by runs out of propane (major sin of tailgating) they can simply attach to the mother ship to finish their meal. Or we can get 3 or more BBQs going at a time!

[Meck77]

Scrappy just chillin Broncos style.

[Meck77]

We have six original batteries but we added a few more to make sure the party doesn't fizzle out because of the lack of juice. :militia:

Mock you are the eternal pessimist. A tailgate is always evolving and so to will a project like this.

My sense of done is........
Mock OrangeForce will be in spot 31, Online, the food will be hot, the beer will be cold, and the flat screens and the stereo will be ready along with the other 32 or more gadgets. Nnyah! It will be there Mock. Will you?

Besides. This is a messageboard and I am posting some pics.

Who's to say the bus isn't done already and we are on the beach in Cancun?

You wouldn't even know!

Great thanks. I'm calling art now. He was waiting!

Rep coming your way!

[Meck77]

Pure madness has hit the bus we have around 8 people working right now. We have hit 5th gear and the tranny is screaming slow down!!!!!!!!!!!

[Meck77]

Still have to get cold beer out of the house fridge down here for now but 1934 Serville Propane Fridge will be installed soon! DTL picked this vintage unit and made it right. Little clean up and some fresh new paint for her! He just got done with the customization of a couple of metal coleman coolers that double up as seats. Nice and firm foam on top. Good place to pop a squat and watch the smoke rise from the Q!

Oh and one more tailgate chair is done.

Denver Tucson Link is the man. Period.

[Meck77]

This may be the only 1934 Serville in the world painted Broncos Orange!

[Meck77]

DTL...........Taking a well deserved break on about 6 inches of foam.

Country Road Take Me Home...

[BlueDamsel]

Why doesn't it surprise me that even the cables on the amps are orange & blue? ;)

Looks good guys...

[Meck77]

Things are humming along but I have a request for the Omane.

Anyone have a recommendation to a good quality painter in Denver who wants to paint this baby straight orange above the stainless/aluminum? Being that the bus is not mobile with her guts hanging out we will have to have it painted in Denver right after the KC game.

I want this thing ready for the next home game. The timing of this is crucial and I need to get on it now. I'm not looking for someone who thinks they can paint a bus. I'm looking for one of the best painters in Denver who know they can paint this bus up right!

Any help would be appreciated.

<h4> Dammit Meck. When you said you were gonna make the ultimate tailgate bus, I thought you were going to make something off the hook. This is more like "off the scale."

C'mon maN! NUTS! Can't wait to see this thing in playoff prime time as we wrap up the regular season against Indy. This is bad ass.

If I can swing it, might come out sooner just to watch the game in the bus. Weekend flights, here I come. ROCK ON!

Who the hell knows.

I would steel wool whatis allready painted.

If you plan on painting steel you will have to rough and primer first.

You have to rough up and primer.

Painting on Stainless steel isn't easy. I would paint on whatever has allready been painted.

[watermock]

If you want a recommendation Burt Toyota has a guy that is top notch double bullet.

He might be able to give you a lead. Dammit I can't remember his name.

He's super nice guy too if he's alive. He has a super top notch body shop. It's about half a mile north of Burt Toyota on the west side. He is a super duper guy if your looking for someone. I just wish I could remember his name.

He did all the work for Burt Toyota. Top notch. First Class work.

I could refer you to Manuel, he paints with a spray can.

[watermock]

Go ask at Burt Toyota, they will know his name. He's the best out there that I can recommend.

[watermock]

He patched up a FourRunner I crashed, a Celica I crashed and even reset an odometer I unhooked.

He's the man. Mock was the demo delmolition man.

Oh, I crashed an MR2 as well.

Ha! That was just at Burt Toyota.

We had lots of fun with a Mustang 5.0 in Dallas.

That car was imfamous.

[Meck77]

What up Beer Man!!! The tailgate atmoshpere hasn't stopped around the bus since I left Canton. We are grilling off the bus my Beer man. Wouldla been real nice to park it at Franks eh?

WE WILL. Just talked to Frank the other day and he said he is fine and said hello to everyone.

I'm already planning the next trip to the Second Anniversary Tailgate Party for John Elway @ 19th and Blake (canton) and I hope you make it. That intersection really was 19th and Blake it's pretty damn ironic.

Hell ofcourse you will you found the last one via google search didn't you?

Did you post the game pics of the Hawks game?


Mock you drunk yet? It's your birthday!!!

Thanks for the paint references.

[CBF1]

Meck... Is Colorado Springs too far to go for paint?

[Meck77]

I'd prefer Denver just for the sake of time by as long as it get's done and is top quality I don't mind doing some driving. Except for the fact that we almost got hit with a flying vehicle when Disco and drove it to Tucson on it's maiden voyage. That happened just outside of the Springs and we dodge a torpedo. I honstly don't know how and neither did the wintenesses at the seen as the other car ran off the road, crossed the highway, and corkscrewed into our land landing infront of us as we locking up the breaks to avoide it. We passed the other vehicle at atleast 30mph or more thru the debris cloud.

Anyhow.......got on a tangent.......


We will have 13 days from the time the KC game ends to the next home game which is.....uh.....San Diego........The Bus will be pure Broncos Orange (as it should) everywhere that there is another color of paint on the exterior. We are buffing the aluminum and steal though. She will shine!

[watermock]

I can drink and drive excellent. What is the Bus called again?

[watermock]

Yeah, I heard about fllipper.

Beezer is a pretty good bus driver.

[Meck77]

Orange Force One's Hillbilly cousin came by to help hold the tarp up. This bus is the OG inspiration for the Force and you just might see it in Denver someday. Yes, it is street legal and we drive it!

[Meck77]

[Meck77]

[Meck77]

Hey CBF1.......I need that paint reference.

****ANYONE know somebody who can paint the bus after the KC game in two weeks.****

Please contact me.

We need your help Omane. We have 9 days left and 15 days worth of work.

I'm losing my mind.

We need estimates. If you dont' know anyone just call around.

Tell them it's 2/3 of the surface area of 1987 MCI greyhound. We want the paint straight orange.


Anyone?

[PatsWin2002]

Wish I could help ya Meck.

All I can do is keep the thread up high so people will see your request.

You should PM some people so they get an email!

[Meck77]

I just need one local to call all the major paint places and ask if they have time to paint a bus in two weeks and come do an estimate in Aurora Sept 13th. CBf1 has a friend but I need a couple more estimates.

things are going well but we are under the gun for sure

[BlueDamsel]

I can place some calls Meck, I'll see what can be done.

[Meck77]

Thank you Digital Damsel.

[BlueDamsel]

Okay call me stupid...but...I should be calling places like "Maaco" right? I've never had to have anything painted before, muchless a 40' bus! LOL


Edit: I'm going to try & get ahold of Ron the limo guy & see if he knows of anyone in Denver area...Robb's not sure if he had his limo painted in Raton or up here...I already tried calling Robb's brother-in-law to find out if he knew, but we're working on getting info.

[BlueDamsel]

I'm going to need some more pictures - One place I called can get me an estimate tmrw if he sees pictures of it to know what you want painted...

I talked to Limo-Ron & he's going to give me his paint codes for the orange of the limo on Thursday at the game...He only had a place in Colorado Springs that he could think of, so if you wanted to go the Springs route we can call & get an estimate from there too.

[Meck77]

[Meck77]

It has been 60 or so days since the bus arrived in Tucson and in 24 hours there will be crew/workforce of the people who built OrangeForceOne heading back to Denver with an extreme machine!!!!!!!! Hopefully this time we won't have another car flying into our lane and land infront of us like we did on the way down. :pray:

The Orangemane Mobile steak and beer distributor is heading to Mile High on Sunday!

Meck must of been a lonely child.

He's going to have too many friends now.

Moderation dude, moderation!

Too late. If your going to jump in, jump in with the dime suit on.

I can't wait to see it in full trim at the Oakland game.

[Steve Shields]

Sept. 12th can't get here soon enough! This is gonna rock!!!!

Just sit there with my dog and a cooler and wait it out. :griese: Heres to a safe trip Meck and crew. :thumbs:

[Meck77]

I bet that bus she be shakin' and rattling.

[Taco John]

Good luck fellas! Have fun!

[B-Love]

Likewise, do it in style Meck!

Everyone get sh** faced and loud for the opener.

Rock that mutha named Invesco.

[watermock]

So like, can we have our own jail to spit on a Raider Monkeys?

It would be so cool to contain a violent raider fan for about a week.

[watermock]

http://mediajunkie.com/jeffgreen/spleen/raider%20fan.JPG

How much would it cost to simply cage something like this?

He's got an American Flag on him. I guess we can't shoot him.

[watermock]

I have kinda softened to Raider Fan.

Chef Fan isn't really worthy, I don't care what you say. I like meanie RaiderFan.

Chef Fan is like smacking around a toothless Hillbilly.

That's why mock is going into Mile high to confront the Evil Force.

I'm going to have fun with these guys.

I would suggest updating your shot records before getting too close to that bread.

All Orange force 1 Needs is a dummy dressed up in a Raider / Or Chief Uni stuck in the Grill like he was ran over by a bus .......... Hilarious!

it has been 15 Years since I have been to Berthoud the Garden spot of Colorado ( or it was called that at one time ) ........... Close to the Mountians , inbetween Longmont and Loveland , Longmont sucks , I likes Loveland though , Still miss Loveland .........

[Spider]

Berthoud must have grown .. I remember when it was a little farming community .....

[TailgateNut]

Berthoud must have grown .. I remember when it was a little farming community .....

It has in fact grown quite a bit, as all of the area around Denver. It still has quite a bit of Farmland, but if you're looking to buy, it's not at farmland prices anymore.

How about Zack? He said he would try to stop by (see thread below).

[watermock]

Berthoud is a beautiful town. or was. Kinda like South Park. Look out for Cartman.

[Broncofan_H]

Longmont sucks

My hometown, and I would have to agree that I don't like visiting the folks down there anymore.

Meck, can't wait for Sunday. I like Spider's idea of a Chief or Raider stuck to the grill of OF1...

[BlueDamsel]

Well since Meck is probably too tired to post - or is eating or something...Just an update...

OrangeForceOne is officially "at home"... :D
