Ya know, one of the things about campers is that boat construction is very similar in a lot of ways, with all the fiberglass that gets used in both.
I would imagine that a quart of good Interlux or Awlgrip topside paint could have that shower looking like new.
I think Vanderpooch has the right idea. I too like the matching color, but since a majority of the van top cannot be seen from the side, paint that a reflective or light color to reduce the solar gain. Then paint the side edges to match the van...
OMG, I remember reading all about that thing back in the day. Interesting reading on how things ended up. I spent some time on submarines, and I always thought that thing would be pretty "lively" in a beam sea...
Sorry to deviate...
That baby rocks!! Everytime I see one of those, I think it's what an old VW Bus aspires to be! Funky lines, two-tone color...
Please post more pictures as you go! We would all love it.
I have a 4 year old daughter, and I can't wait to let her savor all the milestones that I savored when I was a kid.
Getting a pocketknife, taking apart things, driving on my Dad's lap, getting a BB gun... these were all things that I remember distinctly to this day. I also remember the lecture...
I bought a Woodsmans Pal a few years ago, and am pleased at how handy it has been camping. It has enough heft for light chopping and clearing. Worth a look. Sharpening the curved hook area can be a challenge; I've been meaning to get their circular stone for a while...
I recently bought a bunch of cans from here, but looking tonight, they only have the 10 liter cans listed...
Would be worth snapping them up anyway, as they're probably the last ones available...

Let me add my two cents, since I recently was on a "house gun" quest...
You mentioned that maybe the wife might have need to use the weapon. Can your wife clear a jam? Does she shoot with a firm wrist?
Mine cannot, and so that ruled any semi-automatic out. (Nuts. Had to go buy another gun, but...
I always admired your signature line for your 951. I just sold mine last year; pristine, with 24K on the odo... Bone stock, totally reliable, scary fast. I wish you good luck with yours.
Your vehicle collection certainly runs the gamut!
That's great news!! Mike, you collect expo vehicles like I collect, uh, other stuff.
Knowing your high standards for a complete fit-out, no wonder this Taco was such a draw.
Towing it behind the Sprinter?

Jeez, that car looked like a perfect specimen to begin with. The W123's engines will outlast many 300TD bodies. Rust prevention usually isn't a strong point...
More power to you, for sure!! Reminds me of that couple that did a trip to Africa in a Lincoln limo...
