1957? Shasta project

Postby Fyddler » Mon Jun 02, 2014 9:16 pm

Found this at a garage sale, willing to part with for $200. Total rebuild project, no tires but the skin seems to be in great shape, and it has original fins. Just not sure if I am ready to tackle.

My wife said I have to finish my first project before I start another one, I am trying to convince her to let me buy it and park it until she is ready for me to start it. Thoughts?

$200 is not bad for what is there. It is a complete rebuild though.

As for completing your other trailer? Just state that it is already completed to the point you were wanting to finish too. :lol:

$200 is a great starting point. If you decide to do it, don't throw any of the original stuff away, even if you aren't going to re-use it - people are always looking for parts. Like Dan said, it would be a total rebuild. If you want to see what you have in store, I'm almost finished rebuilding a 1956 Shasta: http://thisoldcamper.wordpress.com/1956-shasta-1500/
