Very interesting.  The thought was there.  How old were you at the time?  I did a lot of interesting things in my youth to my first busses, a '61 panel van and later a '59 Westy.  Some worked and some did not.  Learned a lot though.

Years ago, I repurposed a small haylon cylinder (originally from a marine application) into the engine compartment of the ’66 - figuring I would be at the other end of the vehicle should it ever deploy.

This is a far more practical and less expensive.
