    Yeah I saw that one before.  In  the  1970s, Popular Mechanics or
Popular Science (don't remember which) did a DIY article and even sold plans
for this little gem.  Had a smaller one called a "Boonie Box" or some such.
This one was really neat as it had flip out sides like a tent camper.  Made
out of 1" polyurethane foam  laminated with epoxy resin and fiberglass. And
indeed a bus chassis. Also had 2 2" square steel tubing rollover structures
in  the inside. The Boonie Box was on a shortened bus chassis. I wanted one
sooooo bad!

    The warp nacelles are extra cost options and only usable where
di-lithium is available. They are also not CARB certified. The EO paperwork
was not in a compliant dialect of Klingon (HAH!!!).
