RV-ing in Style
Posted by BUCKY on Thursday, October 15, 2020 10:01 PM

On this one, I used a Ghostbuster's Cadillac, and the Open Road camper from the Model King re-issue:

I had a blast building this rig! Once I got started, it just got to be more fun working on it!

Hope you like it!

Thnaks for the comments!

The hardest part of this one was figuring out where to cut the Cadillac. I didn't want to get it too short, and have a big gap between it and the camper.

Excellent work! I have one of those campers and a Chevy Fleetside to go with it in the 'some time next year' pile...but your RV interior is magic.

Also love the guilty-looking pup! Big Smile

Back in my youth, I saw a few campers that were built on old Cadillacs. The frames seemed to be tough enough to take it. Very unusual vehicles, to say the least! LOL

There was a guy that built a 1:1 by cutting an olds tornado behind the front seats and building the rest of it.  He was in Corvallis, Oregon.  Don't know if he ever finished it.  Helped him for a couple of days, that was over 40 years ago.

 

We now have a'78 GMC coach that uses the same drivetrain .  Factory version though.

Nice kit bash.
