Blazer Chalet #0661

That's a good plan. I've always thought the Chalet's were a little too big to really go far off the beaten path like I do with my FWC camper. (which gets called a Chalet A LOT). I wouldn't want to put that fiberglass through the abuse I've stuck mine into this last year. (I've got a pine branch still on the roof rack from our snow run on new years day too)

The real chalet's like yours need to be preserved, used but not beat to death. I've followed a few threads where they got built up and then yanked off and set in a pasture somewhere. Kudo's for actually going through the effort to restore one.

I like the plate # too. Nice touch.

Thanks! I would love to have something like yours that's not so tall. You got a pretty cool set up.

Thanks!

I would sure like the height you got with the top popped up. I'm pretty tall so with the top up on my FWC I'm brushing the roof with my head. Sleeping in the cabover section on mine is comfy with the right mattress, but It's still to short to sit upright up there. I'll fix both issues when I redo the canvas. I'll just add a few inches.

I'm pretty darn careful off road now. Out in the desert where there aren't many trees, it's pretty easy. The mountains near me are a different story. Tree pinstriping is a given. But narrow jeep trails gain a whole other level of fun. I've got to replace the window screens on the passenger side from all the tree branches I've brushed up against this summer.

I know what you mean. When I dropped it off to the body shop the guy was talking about the basecoat/clearcoat and mirror finish while the whole time I'm thinking in my head, I don't want to hear how nice it's going to be and then all the scratches I'm gonna put on it. Made me cringe a little inside.
