Oldtrucker, I've enjoyed following your restoration. Just wondering if you have any estimate on how much time you will have in it when it's done?

The reason for the question: I'm considering a similar project, but don't want to get into something that can't be finished in a reasonable time frame.

Well I have been working on this old dodge for 1 1/2 years but it was done outside in the winter rain snow and the summer heat, I just worked on it when I wanted to so it has been slow, If I had a Garage to work in and the parts on hand I could do all of the work I have done so far in about three weeks, Working outside with all of the parts on hand it can be done in about 3 to 4 weeks, If you plan on doing a rebuild, Plan it out before you start tearing the RV apart, Get as much/many of the parts that will be needed beforehand, It is not really all that hard to do and it sure is a lot of fun, It's just hard having to watch the weather Rain/snow Fact is I'm looking for my next Project RV/Pull behind / Class C / class A ... I just love doing this kind of stuff, Although this is my first RV rebuild I have done many many old 60's and 70's cars in my younger days, This has been a real Enjoyment and I'm sure if you like things like this you will love tearing into one of these old RV's.:B....If I would have had a Garage to put this RV in and work on it inside it would have been finished long ago and it would be a lot better looking around the edges than it is now, Where I worked in the snow/rain last year trying to hurry and get the roof back on caused the edges to be like they are, Although when I'm finish with it they will look great it is just more work than it should have been, A Garage would be nice, I will be building one soon.
