Instead of a camper he should have used an outhouse. Would have been a better statement.

I was never much for those wagon conversions but the red one is really different and looks to be well done.

Helped a guy do a wagon conversion back in 73-74, lots of work is involved in it, interior is a pita. I also think the red one was well done,nice ride.

I threw one of those kits away about 20 years ago. (the blue type shown)

A local dealer here bought one of these in the 70's and was going to do a conversion. They bailed on it and in the 90's called and asked me if I wanted it... I figured I'd spare a car somewhere down the road.
