1963 Fireball back from the dead

Well, the fireball is back from the dead and I just sold it :( . This trailer has come a long way from the terrifying road trip. I was able to complete the framing, paint and do some upholstery. I added a quick self stick floor and removed the old fire hazard floor furnace. I upholstered the seats with vinyl and stapled it to a wood backer. My wife made curtains and decorated it beach style with bamboo curtain rods and beach party decor. Most of the old fixtures were salvageable and I was able to purchase a replacement tail light lens on ebay (not cheap). Stay tuned for a post on ovens. It took me some time but I tracked down a manual and was able to get it working. As you can see it's not perfect yet, but we have had some fun camping. I will post some description later and try to find the build photos. Have fun looking!!
