How big are they?, if you can scan them I'm sure Everett would add then to the archives but do consult with him first.

Phoenix was first featured in Popular Mechanics magazine, in March, 1978.
Get your plans for $85. I can't imagine what kind of a bus you would destroy to make one. Any rust bucket worth hacking would also have a rotten frame.

I've seen pics of the Phoenix, just not the camper style. I'd roll that in a minute. |

Looks a little like Brubaker box and Boonie bug meets Barbie camper.

RQ Riley has the plans for the Boonie Bug, too.

I just happened to see this post...
I will add anything.
No need to ask me, just email them over.
The larger the better.
Thank you.

Try to find a local print shop for blueprints. They usually have large format scanners and can do things like this for cheap. Usually just a couple bucks for a cd with a PDF on it. Then you can just email it over.
