Revcon Rebuild: Part 6

I'd love to say that the cap is completed.  But it is not. Yet.

Body work is hell.  Sand down old, textured paint.  Remove loads of sealer and adhesive.  Primer.  Sand again.  Epoxy paint.  Sand again.  Paint. 



But it has color.  We stayed tan, just went a different shade.  It is actually off of a 2009 Toyota FJ. 



So the cap has color and about 60% of the roof.  The new Maxx Fan has been installed, as well as the new front marker lights.  



We were attempting to install the windows in the cap when we realized that the way they're made means that the interior walls need to be installed in order to get a solid seal.  Well that isn't practical right now.  75% of the Revcon still needs to be sanded and painted.  Which means huge windows will be out for a significant amount of time.  With monsoon season starting on the 13th, we can't risk putting walls up now.  So...at some point soon, it will be entirely windowless.  For the shortest amount of time possible, but still.
