1967 SO-42 Campmobile "Klaus" Restoration 2019 thru 2024

Rusty heater tube sections!!! Shops 1, 2 and 3 didn't pull the insulation at this section and even have a look. Untouched! "We do excellent work!"

These have now been repaired and will be prepped for primer and paint.

Adding welds to the cargo floor. This area was lacking many quality welds from Shop No. 1, which has been remedied!

Shop No. 1 didn't place the new doglegs correctly, which we knew from the blatantly poor door fitment, ranging from scraping to big gaps. It had all the things. So to fit the doors and new side panel, new doglegs will be installed.

A shoutout for Tim at VolkzBitz, who is always reliable, fast and friendly. He repaired my carb in record time and is shipping it back this way. I would count him in the top 10 honest and hardworking people in our niche.

Throwback Thursday! Back to 2015, when a friend came to visit and stay for awhile!

The backing bolt on the lower right cargo hinged was stripped out by one of the earlier shops so Willie had to cut in for access and then patch it up.
