Chevy camper thing!

Post by Xelmon » Sat Dec 15, 2012 12:30 am

OMGOMGOMGOMG! Go to this auction!

*Breathes deep*

Simply said that is a pop top I would be willing to do. It is slim, sweet, and completely fits the looks of the rig.
I sent a PM asking about mfg and such. :)

We have one of those in town here. It's lovely!

VERY simple and empty inside, no camper gear, but it's great for what it is.

@ ACC: I'll flesh out the interior for sure, make it a bit more camperish... The thing is I want to look into a camper conversion way down the road that's slim as possible. With that I'll quickly add that the VW are aesthetically pleasing to me, you need that tall edge so that the lines come together nicely. I don't think a VW like top would work so well on the Chevy Van.

@ Mike: Pah, I wish I could afford to get it, much less go and pick it up. I did get in contact with the fellow to figure out who made the top... They may still be in business!

@ Hammy: *Gurlge gurgle gurgle* Haaaaalp!!! 8-[

Talk to Mike Boell about the General Motors thing -- he seems to have an unhealthy obsession with big Olds engines. And then there's his Buick...

I think the only thing unhealthy about that is the exhaust, everything else is awesome sauce. :D

Tris and Xel,
We did not get a picture of you two running steam on Friday. Guess you'll need to come back out again.
Thank you for the help on Friday. Enjoyed your company and hope you had some fun as well.
