Oh and this is for the judges entertainment

I think judges should add three points for anyone who can identify these people....

... and now, back to the photo contest with extra points if you can name the trio!

Well - your money went into that one, now that money is going into the Flying Cloud - so I'll let you know if I need more money....

Thanks - btw - it is true that Richard so graciously paid for my restoration - he's a really nice guy, maybe y'all can get him to pay for yours too !

February 2013 Photo Contest - Before and After

Really Before . . . . .

The photo below was taken in 1968 when my Overlander was four years old and I was eight years old. At that time, the Overlander belonged to friends of my family and they often parked on our farm when they visited the area. I am the one leading the pony in the photo . . . . .


Before . . . . .

The photo below was taken just prior to exterior restoration about ten years ago. There were still a few patches of Plasticoat left, but the time had come for the exterior to receive some attention . . . .



After:

The photo below is of the coach following the exterior restoration. I can't take credit of any of the process as I had the experts at P and S Trailer Service in Helena, Ohio restore the exterior. Vintage Trailer Supply was my source for the twin 40-pound Worthington LP Gas cylinders. Ace Fogdall RV in Cedar Falls, Iowa was my source for the Zip Dee Awnings. . . .


I can't say that I have ever regretted spending on my Overlander. With my tendency to be something of a klutz with tools, it has proven to be more cost effective for me to hire someone to do most of the major work.

Kevin

P.S.: P and S Trailer Service also fixed the problem with my WBCCI number when they restored the exterio. I don't cope well with heights and had more or less installed my original set of numbers "blindfolded" which resulted in a backwards 3 as can be seen in the "before" photo. . . .
