The stove was left alone because the porcelain was in great shape with just a couple of small chips that adds to the character of a vintage camper, the ice box succumbed to the can't leave anything alone mentality of a hot rod builder. The gold looked so good on the exterior it carried through to the interior, ie the ice box but that wasn't enough it was a blank canvas and our friend Casandra worked her magic in the form of pinstriping.
Although it isn't period correct we like it. Danny

Danny 010_1 by Danny Berry, on Flickr That looks amazing. So, how did you remove original paint from interior? Is exterior porcelain? I’m thinking ours is too and don’t want to mess this up. |

Oh that’s cool. Do you have your own brake for bending the metal? I do. How much do those run? |

The exterior is just like all the early Shasta's, it's aluminum, the paint stripped and then buffed. Danny |
