DONE DONE DONE!!!!

All in all I am very very happy with it. Defiantly not a restoration, more of a custom build to fit our needs. But I think my additions will work great. Not too bad seeing how I started in late February.
And the best part is me and my wife are headed to Yellowstone next weekend in it
After that I am getting back to work on my cars,there are lonely and neglected. Haven't touched them all year.
But I will still be around on the forum for sure!
Enjoy.....





There is no way to really take pictures of the Interior, But I tried my best.

July 4th update

Hey everyone, haven't been to active lately. Been so busy on the compact it has turned into a second full time job. Not a whole lot of time for anything else, especially updates. Figured I would post a few quick pictures, sad thing is, it doesn't even look like this anymore. It is completely done but I don't have any pictures yet and it's raining out there. I am going to tow it across the street this weekend and get some really good ones of it not in the back yard.
The wheels are painted now (including the spare tire) and the interior is completely done and put together and awesome. Look for finished pics this weekend!!!

Big Memorial weekend

Anyone else work on their Shasta this Memorial day weekend, or am I the only idiot.......
I decided we needed a "little" change.....
All prepped and ready


Now for some Sealer and the blue....


Masked up ready for the white....

Here is your author spraying some white....

Now the white.....

And here we are!!! Gotta reinstall the windows and put a silver stripe on the Z.....




Sure I could have spent a few weeks doing bodywork and it could have came out better but I am ready to enjoy this thing..... SO a quick backyard paint job works for me.

Interior paint

Well we have color.................. This weekend and last weekend I spent allot of time finishing up the basic fabrication of the interior. And cleaning up imperfections..... And PAINTED today!!!! Huge step for us. Still gotta make the doors and cut/pain/install lots and lots of trim. The trim is going a redish pinkish color......

Mothers day update.

Updates updates updates. Haven't been able to work on the compact the last 2 weekends, life takes over sometimes... But now me and my misses are officially married
This weekend was pretty big for inside progress. Worked on the dresser and under counter storage....
This is the shelving for the dresser, This will be covered on the sides and have a door.

These are the baskets that will sit on the shelves in the dresser. I thought these would work pretty good instead of drawers, you can take them out, there lighter and quicker to make than drawers too. These are the Home Depot $8 baskets...


Now here are the slides for the under counter drawers/tubs.

We went to a RV show in Denver and thought this was a great alternative to drawers. Restaurant bus tubs, 15''x20"x5". Orders from a restaurant supply warehouse. All I had to do to modify them was cut the handles off...

Here is one with the handles still.

Here they are in the sliders....


I think the Bus tubs will really be nice compared to drawers as well.
Coming along!!
