I ripped out the rest of the floor the other day, for 2 reasons..The wood was rotted and to check out the extension of the frame from the factory install..

The extension was fine..but could be better..I would like to be able to pull  car trailer..And to reinforce the trailer hitch needs to be done..

A horizontal support for the last 51 years was just tacked in place.. It was not fully welded up..  

IT IS NOW!!

I'm sure you don't realize how many of us you are inspiring to continue on our quests to bring our old girls back to life

I just wish that if there is many of you out there working on the old girls, that you would share those projects with pictures and write ups..

Some get started and then instant stop..Examples would be Big Al's trip to Seattle for a wedding..Going along and then nothing..What happened to him..

And then MLW out of the Netherlands..Found himself a new engine..then nothing..

Anyway, I am not going anywhere and will keep posting

Thank You Again LJ-TJ..Your words are very encouraging..

You Sir, are blazing a trail for many to follow. I'm sure you don't realize how many of us you are inspiring to continue on our quests to bring our old girls back to life. So many questions to be answered. But at the same time showing us how to not only solve those problems but were to go to solve those problems. You are to be commended for your selfless efforts contributions to this site. I'm sure I speak for many when I say Thank you. And a special thanks to Mark for allowing this thread to continue.Between the two of you. Your saving many Vintage Winnebago's from going to the scrap yard. Oh! By the way I'm taking my old girl out again this weekend . Thanks for reintroducing us to each other again.

What a gorgeous piece of work. 

Thank You!! It did come out pretty nice and keeping the tranny cool should be no problem!!

Here is an original picture of how it was..

With the old picture, it shows how I need to install the horns and the windshield wiper reservoir tank..

I like the glue removal solvent and it's at TAP plastics. Going to give that a go and see what happens.
