After taking a break from RU-vid, Andy and I are looking forward to posting videos again. The truth is we have been consistently filming our 1965 Clark Cortez motorhome's overhaul so let's consider this video a summary of all that has happened in the past two years -- and these two years have held everything from the highest-of-highs to the lowest-of-lows and all between.
In the end, we hope this video will answer questions many of you have asked us as we've wrestled with answers on this emotional and physical tug-of-war restoration. Here are some questions that have come our way:
--Do we still like the Cortez?
--Do we still have the Cortez?
--Why do we still have the Cortez?
--Have we driven the Cortez?
--Is the Cortez drivable now?
--Have we taken trips in our Cortez?
--Are we selling our Cortez?
From our entire hearts, we cannot thank you enough for checking in on us and asking about our progress. You have continued to fuel us and give us hope when hope was dwindling. We both appreciate your support so much and cannot wait to bring you a more detailed look at our past two years with this rare, classic, and all-American RV.
✧ About us ✧
Hi, ya'll! I'm L, the writer behind Soul of a Seeker. By now you will have met my Englishman, Andy, who is also the illustrator of our stories. We met in search of a hiking and backpacking partner when he came to America for a six-month work placement. During those first talks all the way to now, we have focused on two dreams: Mine, to travel and his, to restore an old vehicle. Saying our dreams aloud somehow welded them together and that is when the idea of overhauling an old motorhome came to be. Here, we purchased a rare 1965 Clark Cortez -- the first motorhome in America with front-wheel drive. We are working to renovate it -- doing all the work ourselves -- before we hit the road! In the end, we are one American girl and one English bloke with one dog and one cat (which we call our ‘pup-kit’) and one 1965 Clark Cortez motorhome but together, we have one soul of a seeker.
