I wouldn't be surprised to see Go Westy start to morph to the other platforms for accessory items. 
      Lucas and Taylor are smart guys and always ready to seize an opportunity and see what's coming down the road. 
        Go Westy was a hole in the wall that sold like 3 different items like Pop Top seals. 
        In my opinion, the hobby would not be what it is with out them. Like em or loathe them they are grand setters who are not afraid to go forward and make a mistake now and again.
        I make / repair a few Vanagon items and do OK as a hobby with them, but am always looking for my next breakthrough. 
        Hooray fir GW, for taking a bold step.
