Soon Brother. I still have shock mounts to fabricate, and exhaust to then route towards the back first.
Bed is sitting there all painted and ready to go on, but don't want to remove my easy access yet.
Hopefully within the next week or so.

Re: Meet Homer (the motor home)

I would love to see this build in person ,its a really special build .I watched a special build on Team Chevelle of a 70 Chevelle built on a stretched Corvette chassie and I knew that car. This one was built in Canada and I knew I would never see it in person but I admired the build .Last year when we pulled in to Ohio to the Northern Ohio Chevelle Show at the hotel I told my wife I needed to go see someone .That someone was a guy from Canada that built that Chevelle .He was amazed that I recognised it and told me he almost went back home because he did not know anyone there ,I told him he would be well known before the night was over. That was a cool build and so is this one ,Im in all the way.

Thanks Flashed. I would love for you to see it in person some day. I have been thinking about heading out to the Tennessee Goodguys event next year. If I still own it! If not I might cruise out in my Chevelle. Got a good friend just outside of Nashville I would like to go see.

Re: Meet Homer (the motor home)

Well boys, got my shock mounts installed yesterday so I figured it was finally time to spray the back half of the frame. I am gonna give it a few hours and later this afternoon try and get the bed sitting in place. Wish me luck.
Here are some before and after pics.

The bed is painted. A friend asked about how it looked wider. Actually the painted bed is sitting on the truck right now. Gotta bolt it up & hang the fenders.

Re: Meet Homer (the motor home)

Well fellas. Today was a banner day for old Homer.
Painted up the frame this morning and after about 4 hours mounted the bed and fenders.
Hope you all don't mind the amount of pics I took and will post.
