Great oval find. I also had bought a prerunner that also had metal brazed over the side windows. It was like being in a cave. First thing I took off.

I thought it looked good with house numbers on it. Did it have bunk beds too?

I actually knocked on your door one day to see if it was for sale! I had visions of my own oval baja. bug eye, body lift, and tall skinny off-road tires.

How about an oval with a wide-eye one piece?

Sorry, not for sale ,will be working on it in between working on the daily driver in the shop. :D I want to change out back fenders and put a new nose on it this one has no recesses for the lights, never saw any that way.

I drive by your house occasionally. I hope you don't mind if I stop by one day! I would like to see the how the project goes and maybe offer a hand.
