Jurassic Park RV Restoration Team

Hey guys, allow me to share with you a major project that is right up your alley. The restoration of 1 of 3 FleetwoodRV's from The Lost World. This huge endeavor is being handled by some of the SoCal members of the Jurassic Park Motor Pool (JPMP). The project is being documented by theAficionauto, a member of JPMP and owner of JP29 based out of Hollywood, CA.

Our goal is to get this beast road worthy so that we can one day share this major prop with JP fans, and maybe gain a few more along the way. ;)

Check out theAficionauto's mini web series which is NOT limited to Jurassic Park movie cars.

I believe the team documented the interior and exterior before yanking off parts, and is in the shop to seal the roof to prevent leaking from the elements. Then they will be working on the electronics I think, then replace the basic interior back in after a thorough cleaning and we will determine what can be salvaged, and what needs to be replaced.

I would be lying if I said I didn't get the chills at 4:29 on video 5.

Can't wait to see more, thanks so much for sharing!
