Amazing job. I need set Jerry up in my guest house for a few months and have him go to town on my Westy.

I can't explain how excited I was to see this with colour, Paul you must be so pleased.
Jerry - nice work, from the photos it looks like the paint laid down very nicely.

Thanks so much for the compliments.
Surfndoc I'm headed to your neck of the woods in September. My little girl lives in Carlsbad so I figure we will camp at Arches & Zion beforehand.
Cunado lives real close to my daughter so I'll definitely get to see what Cali living is about!
Eric, the paint layed down pretty good but not good enough. I like color sanding anyways. ( hope to see you at CTS)
It's not flawless by no means but it's presentable & I hope it gets used for what it was initially built for.
The main thing about this whole build was it has been fun! Paul & I have had a great time figuring this thing out.
I'm hoping to hang the doors pretty soon to see it as a whole will be really cool.

Hey Jerry,
If you make it up North a bit (Orange County) let me know as the Westfalia Mafia would be happy to buy you a few beers in honor of the great work done on this old Westy.

I will take you up on that offer!
I also want to be considered to be a part of your mafia.
Certainly not an underboss or a consigliere, but just the bottom of the barrel. Lol.
My old bus looks like a thug.

Thank you Eric, I'm not pleased, I'm ecstatic. I can't quit smiling.  I can't wait to get it home and start putting it together.
I am sure I will have a Million questions as it starts going together.

What will you be using on the wood panels when they are done? Are you spraying?

| Sorry everyone, you aren't allowed to cancel any CTS plans. You actually should invite everyone you know |

Sean, I am not sure yet, I Have the two rear corner panels and a few shelves that are in perfect shape so we are going to try and match. More than likely we are going to spray. But if that turns out too "nice" we might brush.
I have read many threads and see that there are mixed feelings on how to finish.
