Yup, that's sorta where I'm headed. Except the extension boxwork will
probably be aluminum instead of galvasteel and won't quite "match" the
forward area...and the rear door/rear turn signals will be different.

Granted, it won't look as nice as that pic but it should be acceptable
if I re-paint the whole thing - the paint on this thing is getting a bit
tired anyhow.

I *could* do it like you've shown though. I'd have to figure out what a
skoolie rear section would weigh. Probably not too bad...there would be
a lot of windows to skin over though...don't really want windows at all
in the garage if I can help it.
