Summer of Champ

So, we have been having such a great summer! We have gotten everything going in Champ except we haven't tried the water heater. Furnace, water pump, radio...all working! Engine's runnin strong also, we check the fluids often. We are looking to have another adventure this weekend - we've been taking Champ all over the state of Alaska and we might stick closer to home for some camping/hiking this weekend.

Once again I got some odd ball photos to show you

Since you were kind enough to post photos of my 1976 Honda CB750 custom build that I recently finished I wanted to show you the trailer I built for it to tow behind our old GMC camper.

It could have turned out better if I really took my time but I got this as a stripped down old pop up and it needed a lot of fixing.

'79 Minnie Winnie

Greetings all!

Purchased our Minnie Winnie a couple of months ago. We really didn't plan on restoring it, just spruce it up a bit
and use it as casino hopper. However one thing led to
another and now we are about 80% done with restoration.

Will post photos as I take them, have a nice day!!!!!!!!
