Hello Everyone! Welcome to my newest project, the 1960 Mango Ragtop Camper Restoration. This is an May, 1960 ragtop. I got it from a buddy up in Connecticut. These were my first pictures of the car.
After Buying the car, It was time to pick it up. So my dad and I rented a U-haul truck and trailer. We headed up. Who knew you couldn’t drive trucks on the Parkway, as my dad and I we’re cruising down the Sawmill. After that little Mix-Up. We hit the right way up and got there. Loaded up the car and took off back home. The body wasn’t Bolted to the pan so we bought some ratchet straps to hold the body down in case of cross winds.
Since I have gotten the car home, I have separated the body from the Pan, Temoved the front beam, and began stripping the red and green paint off to get back down to mango green.
I also got the car’s original Mango radio delete plate at Flanders over the weekend
My plan for this project is to make a camper bug! I have some cool ideas and Im super excited to work on this car. Stay tuned!  _________________ Filthy Buggers NJ

Nice project, mango is a nice color.
Bug On! |
I plan on making it into a camper bug. Im looking for the seat recliners, and I want to do some other modifications to make it better for camping.
I really like the color, Mango green is a favorite of mine! _________________ Filthy Buggers NJ
