Well it has been awhile, but this project moves forward.
This is now a couple of weeks into the thing -
Most of this is anchored down, from the bed, which is the last thing which gets anchored, towards the right. All of that is in place. what is left is to complete the "office" and that area. // /// Of course there are the hoppers to put in, and lots of other details which need to go someplace on the unit. that is part of the finishing work, and right now we are trying to get the car somewhat done.
The black lines on the side indicate where the windows line up. Try fitting the thing i ended up with walls in the middle of the window and that looked goofy. Adjust to suit and move things around. That stupid "orange" Walther's goo line is still there but won't be seen after the roof goes on.
Of course there will be a final paint touch up job, there are lots of little things which got messy, but in the end it will be okay Just the final finish.
Today that last part on the left gets anchored in place, the rest of the office equipment is ready to install, and then the trucks get put under the car -- couplers added, then the lighting, the original Walther's 033-717 2 bulb kit goes in. Last thing after the car side is put on will be the tail gate grills.
The car says "BUSINESS" on the side so there should be an office inside someplace. I was going to put it up in the dining room area, but with looking at my very original car back in 1972 I did it the same way ...
This was built in a Riviosi car. My first attempt at this type of stuff. It was built with a Walther's 7808 kit, and has the paper walls and all. Most of the rest I added as I felt need to get put in. This car is 89 feet long v/s the 7808 above which is 60 feet long. It is amazing what you can add in another 30 feet of car.
