EAST SIDE LOW LIFE · 08-14-2007, 12:17 PM

A buddy of mine is in the process of fabricating a stream liner camper. I thought that I would send these pic's along for your viewing pleasure.

esll.

Two are of a actual G.M. bus to give you an idea of where this project is going.

pat · 08-14-2007, 12:38 PM

That thing is going to be awesome!

Jerry Jones · 08-14-2007, 12:38 PM

Interesting, like to see it finished.

**Yukon Jack** · 08-14-2007, 12:41 PM

That's going to be incredible!

woodridge · 08-14-2007, 12:42 PM

Very Cool!

Musclerodz · 08-14-2007, 02:57 PM

Now that is cool. I found one of these the other day and was having the same thoughts for building a vintage motor home.

**********************************************************

This is totally fabricated from scratch. This guy works at a mill in a small town just north of me. Why I mention this is that he is self taught .... no body work ticket here just one of those guys that can do it all! This will sell down the road as do all his cars, trucks or what ever he does. We are blessed with some really talented people on thie island. This guy did a 57 Chevy about a year ago and some guy walked up and offered him $130.000for it last weekend .... SOLD!! I feel people just wait to see what his next project will be and line up.

I'll keep the progress of this project posted as I get info. on it.

esll.

Wow! How many hundred hours & thousands in stainless does he have in it?

Keep up posted!

67ChevyRedneck · 08-17-2007, 03:36 PM

That is gonna be SOOOO cool

That top pic of the GM streamline thing looks similar to the one they sold at Barrett Jackson a few months ago. I think it set the barrett jackson record? I think it sold for like 1.5 million????

$4.1 million, and the guy would have taken $600K before BJ. Shows what can happen when you mix alcohol, testosterone, and a serious excess of expendable income all in one location.

**special-K** · 08-18-2007, 01:34 AM

It shows you don`t have to be a whip to have too much money.

Select · 08-18-2007, 02:14 AM

Do they give out booze/shine at BJ to get those prices? I'd give an arm and a leg to tour the country in a classic like that. Only if I were born with the extra limbs....Mikey

krue · 08-18-2007, 02:15 AM

I'm amazed at the skill and imagination!

That thing used to be parked down the street from me. I talked to the guy and he said he got it for something like $40,000. It was one of only a handful made for the (1938?) worlds fair. He had converted it to an RV.It had duals in front!(if I am remembering correctly). I hope it was him that got the big bucks because he put a lot of years into that. It had become a fixture behind Barone's restaurant on Morepark in Sherman Oaks Calif. during the '90s up to a couple years ago.
