Remodeling the Star Traveler

Slowly progressing on my remodel of the 1970's Barbie RV, for the most part have the color scheme planned out at least of the wall, cabinets and counter top.  We know the color of the cushions but not exactly how the chairs, bed and sofa will be painted.  Another idea hit me since this is going to be a California Surfer/Skater bus with a 70/80/90 color screen that I would have wood paneling on the outside like the VW Woody.  Now I just got to figure out whether it will be a strip all the way around (Carrie's vote) or the bottom half both sides and back only.  I am using contact paper as for the paneling on the interior and exterior of the vehicle that way I can easily change if needed.   I decided to keep the yellow color since that was one of the color's avaiblable back then, and I want to keep the theme in the late 70's and 80's.

You don't understand how great it is to be able to think clearly and have my creativeness back.  I have also found that it is a great stress reliever, which is something I need to help in my battle with both cancer and an autoimmune disorder.  It is a creative, productive and fun activity to escape the real world.   It could also possibly be something I can do on the side whenever I go on disability.  We will learn this fall if my body can still hang, crossing my fingers and toes.  Now if I can just get my multitasking ability back and get rid of this forgetfulness than all will be good.
