Boonie Bug nearly finished after two years of work

Jerome and Mary Lenth of Postville have spent about 900 hours and $1,000 on a foam and fiberglass boat shaped Boonie Bug. The project began from Popular Mechanics plans for a flexible camping vehicle and evolved into a full, roadable recreation car with a rear engine cover and sliding doors. The couple, aided by friends and family, expect a maiden voyage after a motor overhaul and licensing check.
