  1. Hello well i have been REALLY lazy, and since the crash i havnt re-made my camper thread.
    And havnt really done much to my camper :/

    Anyway heres where i start.
    This is my camper and how i got him. He is a 1976 danbury and was given to me by my uncle. It was garaged up for about 10-12 years after having a bump and he wasnt really interested in it and let me have it for my 18th.


    This is what i seen, once the doors were opened :D

    Im going to be spraying my dash on the weekend, i will take a few before and after.
    The bonus is i dont need to prep before i spray :)
