Hi folks!

I have been studying Westfalias and Traverse campervans and I very much want
to do something similar with my GB. I can see how to build the interior and
make it fairly easy to take out if necessary. The main thing is I don't want
to cut any holes for a furnace or fridge. That being said, I sure do like the
pop top design. I know Mike Wiermier put a westfalia top on his Corvan. Has
anyone else done something similar? Is there a prototype poptop GB from the
60's?
I wonder if anyone from the Corvair Preservation Society has any infomation?
Are there any companies that make custom pop tops? Has anyone built a replica
of the springtop type do dad from scratch? Any patterns? Are there any seats
that would fit in front that would swivel around to face backwards?
Any help/advice greatly appreciated!
