Buster Junior's Journey
Hi there. I picked up Baby Buster about 1 month ago and have began his demo/build. He will serve as both a business mobile office type vehicle as well as a camper/explorer for the pack.

Maybe it's just me...
Post-demolition photos somehow seem so very much more satisfying stills to stage than the pre-'s.
Enjoy!!!

So it has been a while since i have posted any updates, most likely because the weather has been such a bummer for me as i HATE the cold and therefore have just been chipping away at things here and there. I am very much looking forward to spring time and really committing my time.

The walls have a layer of Fat Mat Rattle Trap adhered directly to the aluminum. Then the pink foam insulation boards. And 1/4 inch plywood on surface. The plan is to have 1/4 inch T&G panel glued to the plywood and have the panels screwed to the studs and have them as removable sections...just in case (displays the confidence in my wiring).
