We have about about 10 months until our current apartment lease is up and we move in full time. With as busy as we are and only able to work on it one day of each weekend, holidays off from work, evenings during the extended summer daylight, and 4 weeks of vacation for the rest of the year, 10 months should hopefully be enough time to get everything finished. We have several friends wanting to participate in the build and two trusted friends who are diesel mechanics to ensure that we have safe and reliable mobility.
We are driving her to an RV and Boat storage tonight here in the area and will start ripping the seats apart out tomorrow! First getting all of the vinyl off and trashed, then to remove the seats and take them to the metal recyclers in the area for some extra cash for the build.
This has been a dream for about 6 months now and we are finally here!!
Meet "Journey"...
YAY!!
