What I've been up to....
Hey guys, I haven't been around much these last few months, but here is what has been taking my time:

It is a 1954 Bellwood Aloha, made in Beaverton, OR. I had to completely rebuild the wood frame and replace some sheet metal all new paneling inside and a new axle. These are the pics as of today, I took it on a maiden voyage to work and to DMV. Please forgive my dirty truck, she needs a bath.

Love it!!

We've had several vintage Canned Ham campers. We love them. We are into the campers almost as much as the cars/trucks.

Re: What I've been up to....
Yep, same one. It was quite a mess. Thanks for all the comments guys!

Here is a before pic:


I'll spare everyone the inside before and after pics. But they are just as good.

Oh, and I totally forgot to show you guys my hidden hitch that I installed:

Since nobody makes a hitch for the 60-62's, I ordered an adjustable one for a motorhome. If anyone wants the part number I'll be happy to post it.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Looks like the end pieces can be adjusted for width...the square tube is sticking out of the end. Just guessing.

Period and picture perfect. I hope you have a lot of fun with that combination, I'll bet it starts a lot of conversations. Is this the hitch you used? Same part number on the sticker but looks like it has an extra bracket.

Any more photos or interior shots?

For mine, I ordered 200 ss screws today, and a cam latch for the storage door. Trying to get traitor and truck both ready for sept event. By ready I mean 300 mile tip with overnight stay, at car show.
