    Any plans for doing a shock mount relocation? BAMF’s perhaps?

    Thank you!! Fully restored like 15 years ago. Haha! It sat in a driveway uncovered for many years so it needs a lot of love right now. But she at least lives in the garage now!

    I found this as a frame+shell when I was 12 and worked summer jobs to buy it and rebuild it in high school. It's been in the family for a while now. It's my fault it went to shit:anonymous:

    What year have you been looking for? I've got a couple friends trying to get rid of their campers.

    I just wanted to see how miserable it’s going to be. I’ll probably cut, grind,hammer and drill like I did with the bump stop install. So much little stuff to do and I need to rip my interior out again to finish a couple things.... which I’ve been slacking on

    I think I found it easiest (when there was enough room) to just drill the rivet head with 2-3 different sized bits and then just knock the heads off with a hammer/chisel. Then hammer them through. I found that the grinder kinda fused the metal a little and made it just a little harder to push through.

    Why are you tearing out your entire interior?? Sounds like major electrical rework!

    I’ll try drilling before I cut for sure then.

    Need to rerun a switch wire then run Led bar,chase light, radio, solar wires to the roof and replace the antenna with a different one I grabbed, then finish wiring a front camera I put in, and then dynamat everything. All fun stuff that just takes forever

    Hey Chris, Did you finally box your frame?
    I was looking at the photos of the Pearl’s undercarriage and couldn’t tell...

    Are any of you parked up at Figueroa Mountain in a silver truck with some sort of black hybrid bumper?
