Man, y'all are making awesome time!! Looks like you'll get there before the guy gets off work. Hopefully, it'll give you a chance to nap and rest before the real journey begins.
I started watching from the beginning and laughed when you were through two states in a few hours. It's about 4 just for me to hit the Texas border and be in another state!

GPS shows entering Chicago Skyway at 8:30 am Central Time.
Progress will likely slow!

I would recommend to fuel up at the big Indiana Truck stops if needed.
Expect no easy on/off for the next 30 miles or two hours (whichever comes first)
Looks like you're about 30 minutes from me now. Good progress!
The traffic isn't too horrible. I think we are past the worst of it.
You guys are only 3 hours out from the bus, and you have to sit around waiting for the guy to get off of work at 4:30? There's a Cabelas in Richfield WI that has some decent hot food. It's a good place to waste some time. It's on your way there and is just 15-20 minutes south of Allenton and is visible from highway 41.
I'm pretty sure that driving a minivan, with Florida plates, makes us a target though.
Wow your progress from 8:30 central to 9:30 central was much better than I expected.
(GPS points 44 - 50)
The worst is behind you (for this leg of the trip) 
So we are in Wisconsin now, and we just passed a tank on the side of the road......what?

Hmm... Someone else on a "sure, I can drive this thing home" road trip?

Email received, Thanks!
Get anything fun at Cabella's?
Every 1950s Ford bus needs a rifle rack.

I restrained my self.
We are now about two miles from the bus, waiting on the owner to get off work.
The high speed fly by looked pretty good.
In reply to RossD:
I dont think that will hold kia_racer's M60. 
OK I figured you were driving around in circles to mess with us. Now it becomes clear.
You can go play with it before he gets off? Gotta be killing you to wait.
In reply to java230:
His wife and kids look to be home. I don't want them to be nervous about a couple of strange guys showing up.
In reply to Toyman01:
Strange guys? What kind of guys travel halfway across the country to buy an old Ford bus? The same kind of guys that already own an old Ford bus. You couldn't possibly be that much stranger than her husband.
