O.K.! Hello from across the pond!
I'm back working on my beloved Ernie, a 65 Traveller. He's a restomod, I guess you'd say. New wood from Foresman that I've installed wood panels to replace the aluminum ones. There will be wood slats replacing the cloth headliner. And wood slats in the cargo bay area. I'm sure I'll have questions as I go, and I'll post pics when I can.
Cheers-
Dave

How long has Ernie been off the road?

And if the photos don't upload it will be because they are too big so reduce the size on your PC then try again

Re: Getting Ernie Back On The Road....
Oh, thanks-
I'll reduce pics and try again.
Is there a trick to posting more than one pic in a post?

Re: Getting Ernie Back On The Road....
Just now I'm putting in the rear sliding windows. Next is the gutter, which kinda scares me a little. Then I'm doing my headlining as wood strips... No rest for the weary!

Re: Getting Ernie Back On The Road....
Well, I bodged the gutter, but it's on..
That allowed me to mount up my restored retro surf racks, and Ernie looks quite nice with the surfboard.
