My camper had wings when I bought it. I sold them to have money towards the refurb thinking I wouldn't care one way or another if I had them.
After ebay fees I made $175 on them.
Then I picked up a parts camper for $200 (a 66 1400) and it had wings on it too.. They were painted flat black but were in decent condition.
I sold some lights from that camper, took a couple things I needed and sold the remains for $160. I got back $210 on the $200 and still have the wings.
I figured I'd clean them up and sell them for more refurb money.
After I painted them 'bright aluminium' my 5 year old Cooper saw them and made it very clear he was so happy I decided to keep the "Chaffy wings"
(I have no idea what that means, I think he means Shasta wings LOL) and he told me we have to have them due to thier coolness.
How can I deny that logic? So it looks like we are keeping the wings for our camper..
they are a little smaller than what was on there..maybe 2 or 3 inches shorter in length.
Since we are going with a red/white theme I added some pinstripes to the indents on the wings..
I know purists won't apprive, but what do you think of them overall? I think they look OK with a red accent. Cooper loves them..
Can't decide if its a little too tacky or not?
