Hello everybody!!!

[47wreck]

My name is jerome and I hail from the bay area. Just bought a wreck of a 1947 kit kamper and I need some help. Take a look see and tell me what you think.

Hi Jerome, You've got your hands full. It looks like the door handles and windows are salvageable and maybe the drip edges over the doors but the rest is roached. Patterns can be made from some of the bent parts.
Enjoy, Chris

Too true Chris. Its really not as bad as it looks. All the rivits just popped free. I have an English wheel and I'm a welder by trade. I do a lot of tig work so this is definitely fixable. The doors are perfect. They just popped free. Frame is still good so I'm just going to tear the sides off cut some new plywood and slap the sides and top back on after I straighten them back out to the general shape. Don't really care if it's perfect. I'm pulling it behind a rat rod so the worse it looks the better lol. Just need it solid and clean on the inside. Check the tow rig.

Hi Jerome,
Welcome to the site and to the world of small/Tiny TT's ...

The TD doesn't really look too bad by the pics and you sound like you have a plan in mind ... salvage the pieces you can, rework or replace the rest ... Then ... put it all back together ...


Good luck on the re-build and can't wait to see what you do with it ...

Again, welcome to the site from Central Minnesota ...
