VERY COOL! I am sorely tempted since I have wanted one ever since I saw
a picture of one years ago. Wouldn't it make a great camper, cover the
openings with screens, roll down canvas sides as original, I'm drooling
already. On the other hand, the wife would kill me. On the other hand, I
am turning 50 this weekend, I COULD blame it on a midlife crisis
couldn't I?
