When Jim G., Cal T. and I drove the Cabana to LA for that "Rock my RV"
show, we were sitting in Denny's a little punchy and I blurted out in a
weak moment that we should build an EM-50 look alike. It became a
challenge for me but after printing off a few stills from the movie I found
the EM-50 was a real exterior rig job. Still frame and blow up the pic,
you will see some very sloppy building. There was a reason they did not
dwell on the EM-50 fully deployed-- it looked bad. Let down I still wanted
to build something so that was the push behind the camo paint work, the
"Animal House" sharks teeth from the black Lincoln, a white army star and
bullet holes on the sides. I saw Gery Berry's sons rendition of a military
exterior treatment and took cues from it.
I'll say this, I see a lote of faces when I drive the thing around. It did
get attention at the Dothan rally I painted it for. With the side car bike
on the trailer travelling the highway I got more than a few looks. Hey,
it's all in fun, next I wanna turn the rof AC into a gun turret...
