OK you want curtains here you go!
Actually I got back on the project and every time I think it's done I come up with another idea. So since the last pictures I added the rear wooden panels and parked the warped carpet originals> Drivers Side and ran a cable under the wood for a rear Ipod Hook-Up> Passenger Side Panel> Another view of the aluminum strips / floating floor> Curtains and yes my wife was proud to contribute to the project. I take a couple of magnets to hold the curtains to the metal for the rear area> Found the perfect box for curtain storage> And a great place to store them> Now the further up to the front of the wagon I get the more I want the natural wood look. So last weekend I took the arm rest out and plan on building a nice wooden console with a padded armrest on top. I'm also going to experiment with wooden door panels in the back so stay tuned in a month or so more wood will be applied. |

Very Cool, like the Eagle at NAMDRA home made back tent attached too.
What ind of wood set up did you use for the back area? I have been contemplating this for my Concord T5 wagon, as the carpet slides arouond when loading and unloading at shows. Then would need to do two part for the back of the seat to match. Then in the overpall plan of things, that usually proves out to be a dream, anyone done or seen real wood on the wagons? Thinking a good veneer could be used in place of the vinyl, but with all the prep and protection needed. Appreciate the thoughts. Richard Love the camper special, another one I haven't seen before... |

We have a full size air mattress we put down with the back seat removed. Fortunately, we are both short and fit inside with the gate up if needed. That is an easy way to go for a light overnighter.

I thought you sold that rig a year or so ago. Still looks like the same pictures from the FSJ board. Regardless that is a Camper Special.You could probably put a 2 ton camper on the back and never know it was back there :)

Very Nice! I have slept in the back of several Wagoneers over the years and can say they get the job done. It will be more comfy without the rear seat mounts too!
This is my Camper Special project that got a reality check. Too many projects and not enough time and money so something had to give. Well, it was mine... Just received final payment on it last week so it is headed to Texas soon. The 360 runs but is worn out so I got a 401 for it and was going to get an overcab camper. Now I have a spare 401... |

Yes the wheel wells hold it in place going down the road. I can take the floor out within a matter of minutes and re-install the seat if needed. The can holders were an after thought, but I said what the heck. Sitting on the back of the tailgate it's a good place to put a drink and not worry about spilling it all over the new flooring! |
