Tom Geiger Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Very cool, I love the idea of a replica! Are you going to make the white grille guard? And the mirrors, I saw that there's one large mirror on the left side, but two small ones on the right side. I've made those from wire and plastic before.

Platerpants Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 did a little more playing around, also got a new project in the mail today to be started at a later date. My great grandfather always had a camper somewhere. Also it will get dual exhaust my grandfather confirmed my assumption that PAP-PAP wanted dual exhausts on the 78.
