I have been looking for a pop-top Weekender in the Seattle area for some
time now, sans success.

In my final throes of desperation I have taken to calling Vanagon ads in
hopes of finding a nice van, a stray pop-top assembly and a chainsaw in
order to join the ranks of the Westy Hardcorps,  Weekender-Wannabees.

Any thoughts on the sanity of such an undertaking, whether the Vanagon body
could handle the stress, and what local body shop might be willing/able to
do the job.
