Thanks, been away for a while. I have a problem. I like most all things vintage/retro. In my daily life, I talk to people all day. Sooo, I have a customer that I cut up with quite often, and he and I like the same kinds of things. Problem being, he has all the toys, and his list is impressive. I get a phone call from him about three weeks ago, and he says he has something he wants me to have. . ... ....... ..... Wait for it..... ......... ..... He gave me a 1956 Spartan Imperial Mansion. Seriously. Pics soon

Seriously. Pics soon LOOK OUT HERE! Are we looking at another 30 day restoration Mr.Flyingham? Or was it 90 days, whatever it was, it was quick and a bang up job on the Shasta. It's really a sweet rig. So.. you said something about pictures? It's good to hear from ya....

The Spartan really needs very little. It's ridiculous. It wouldn't need a thing if the generous fellow that gave it to me hadn't put a/c units on it. The rear section is undamaged, the front living area has ceiling and wall damage.
The front floor is solid, but the 9x9 tiles are damaged.
The rear floor is damaged from a toilet leak... In the bathroom only.
It's not missing much. Someone stole the range out of it years ago, I'm already on the hunt for one. The fridge was replaced... It's not my first choice but it will do. Maybe I can make it look "vintage"...
I just picked up some original lights for the living area and kitchen! The entire ceiling is primo, minus one sheet of ply. I'll post up pics of that mess soon

The range had been stolen out of the T-Rex (t for trailer, Rex for Rex, the previous owners dog that traveled everywhere with him) and, it's a big dinosaur. So, I went craigslist hunting and found this awesome, close-to-period-correct gas range. The clock even works. The people I purchased it from said a lady had owned it for most of its existence and used it to can/bottle stuff. It's traveled with her all over the country including California and Florida, where the guy I got it from had to travel to and pick it up. It's not the original brand for Spartan, but whatever. It's way cool.
