Vintage RV, (powered)anyone built one?

Discussion in 'The Antiquated' started by Roothawg, Apr 18, 2022.

  1. So I know it’s not powered, but it came into inventory this week- tudor cut off at the b pillar with panel type rear doors installed. My plan is to add it to my other tudor parts- see 80 bushel build thread. If I don’t do that does it have potential as a travel trailer/ glamping unit. It is small, and not sure what it is like sleeping in a tin box. Room for my wife is not a problem, I don’t expect her to share this experience. 4E891AA1-E1ED-4FED-8011-70E384C100E7.jpeg

    We stripped the old sofa bed and will extend the legs due to raising the wheel tubs from lowering it.
    Fitting some old lockers and we’ll build a counter top between them over the other wheel tub

    Now this one is one of the best! Go to the races, park where you can see the track,, and when it gets boring, or you've partaken of the libatio, take a nap!

    This one trips my trigger for some reason.
     
  16. Anthony would tell you, and I agree, it doesn’t need paint, maybe the front clip.

    I’m at the point in life that I’ve realized when I take things apart to make them shiny the project doesn’t get back together. So it’s make it mechanically sound and enjoy the ride . IMG_8901.jpeg I keep looking at this one and thinking I could do this . I have a 1942 Chevy 1 1/2 ton truck with a 10’ wooden bed . I could make some wood bows and pull a canvas tarp over them . A cot , table and a small wood stove I’d be ready to travel lol

  22. Paint it?
    Crap no
    Those dents and manufacturing waves look great to me
    I love perfect imperfections

    I prefer welding over nails
