I'm still at a loss for the roof fin. Not crazy about the fins period, but it would have looked better w/o the third roof fin. It almost looks like one of those magnetic pizza delivery car signs. I wonder if it's removable? |

I'm going to assume sarcasm because the forum doesn't express body language or facial expression and you didn't add any emoticons. The rear window like most cars would have probably been appropriate.
another take on a bug truck. My wife took the pic while we were coming back from the bay area. Not bad though. I do like the trailer hitch like it could actually tow something.

Which leads me to my pet peeve, the people who put considerable skill and craftsmanship into their bodywork and then illuminate it with a Pep Boys trailer light. |

Hey - sometimes its not the owners fault. I had K-Mart cheapy lights on our buggy until earlier this year because that's what the OP had on it when we bought it 9 years ago. Finally got around to installing LED cheap trailer lights...... No - really installed 41 Willys tail lights - they look really good on a buggy. _________________ D-Dubya Manx clone - 63 Short pan,1914.

You should of offered him $500 for the bus top portion! I bet that section alone is worth a pretty penny! _________________ Contact me at [email protected]

It's really well done inside the camper. It has all the amenities including a wood burning stove. Circular stairs lead up to the widened 23 penthouse. I had been aware of it for many years, first time to see it up close and meet the owner. |

It reminded me of those Dodge van conversions called "the wide one". |

As wide as it is, I hope only one 23 window was sacrificed for this, not two. |
