'59 Chevy Advance Scout Truck - African Airstream Caravan


Recommended Posts

Busy day at the bench yesterday working on the rear bumper, sink, maps, luggage rack, resizing the bathroom floor pan and a few other items. Unfortunately my photo editing program isn't working so I can't post pictures at the moment. I need to reinstall from the original CD and get it fixed.

OK now that DSC is done, I can post some of my latest bench time sessions' results.

The plumbing for the shower is complete along with the floor drain and installing the commode.

I made a little 35mm camera to go next to the coffee cup.

DSC was so much fun and the builds on the tables were amazing. I got to meet up with Randy D, Nitrozilla, Jeffs396, blunc and a host of others from here on the forums. So glad we were able to hook up.

Hey Brad,

Glad we could spend a little time together, hopefully next year I can stick around a bit longer !

I have to tell you folks that this build is one of those special ones that does not disappoint when you see it in person. The fit an finish of this project is off the charts!!!!

Can't wait to see how the clothes turn out.

Thanks my friend :)

Progress has slowed since DSC although I've been working in small doses. I can't glue the bathroom/galley side until I do the sink faucets which I've been working on. The wardrobe cabinet side needs the clothes made and put on hangars before permanently gluing in place. I've found and painted another pair of shoes for the closet and they're ready for mounting to the floor.

Stay tuned,

Thanks JT. I appreciate your interest and comment.

Finally able to get the galley sink faucets done. Just need to add a few items to the countertop before gluing in place in the camper shell. Here's a couple of pictures.

Thanks guys. Randy - the white part of the ,faucet handles is actually styrene rod shaped by turning them on my Dremel Stylus which was drilled out for a small piece of wire fitted into a turned piece of 1/16th " aluminum tubing. Then that combination was then slipped onto a small straight pin. The same method I used for the shower handles.

More to follow. Stay tuned.
