Dr. Cranky Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 If you've ever thought of building one of these, here's a great link that Mercman (Junior) posted over in The Model Builders Forum, and I am sharing it here with you. http://www.rodsnsods.co.uk/forum/topic/unusual-camper-van-conversions-26198 Hope you get your daily allowance of eye candy for the day.

Jantrix Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Very cool stuff. I'm not a truck guy but that might be kinda fun to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Lots of very unique ideas . . . and a few of these might make great 3-DAY weekend projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badluck 13 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 As strange as some of those are,some actually look cool,for some unknown reason of insanity,I really dig the primer black '58 Cadzilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperStockAndy Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 It's funny, but, When you're getting into it, does the bike's front wheel come off the ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Man, I'd love to have kits of some of the base cars. Could always saw them in half and scratch a camper shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 That's the idea, Christian, to keep everyone salivatin' over the possibilities! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicroNitro Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 There is an Edsel camper up the road from me. It has been there as long as I can remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Jim, it's perhaps time to take some pictures of it before it disappears forever. And, of course, if you take some shots, share them with us, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrux Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) The VW Beetle camper was actually a kit car. You can still get the plans for it! Edited January 27, 2012 by kataranga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramfins59 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Those are definitely some wild looking vehicles. Defintely gets the imagination and the creative juices flowing... Hmmmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plastic trucker Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 It's funny, but, When you're getting into it, does the bike's front wheel come off the ground? It must be fun for the dude to stop this thing with a tail wind, or try to peddle against the wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunajammer Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 In a rare turn of skepticism for me, I'd guess that a replica of this would not do well in a show because it would be considered unrealistic or too contrived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I confess: I have a bit of an obsession with those Blazer Chalets/Jimmy Casa Grandes. Here's an EB camper: Gallery link here And here's some other campers on the Blazer Chalet website.

Hypermung Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Man, I thought I'd seen it all until this............. 3/4 of an Aussie Falcon & an old Millard van thrown onto a truck chassis (F350?... Chevy?). That is just plain butt ugly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
