What was the inspiration?
It was time for CMI to showcase our capabilities @ SEMA 2018. I've been attending for years and we are a great fit for SEMA and what it is all about, 2018 was the right time, right vehicle, right build. The interior, a blend of new and old school wrapped up in an eye catching combination. Fully functional for weekend outing, but may not be very popular until she's shut off.. she's a bit on the loud side, just like me.
How long did it take you to build?
Aprx. 11 months (and on going).. the SEMA crunch was very, very real... :)
How long have you been building?
Celebrating 20 years in business this year!
Your future plans?
ReRun was built to use, showcase our capabilities as a company... it was not built to trailer travel yet drive to events and be the talk of the show... so far.. that has worked out very well. Just won't pass to many gas stations. And each stop usually ends up being and hour or so with all the people that want to see it..
Vehicle history
Located the vehicle in Colorado, found it on Instagram.. flew out, shook hands and trailered her home to Ohio. The transport cost more than the purchase.. Had aprx. 40k original miles, beautiful patina however the camper interior pretty bad, but that is what we do. Original intent was to keep the exterior as is, do what we do inside, however the camper body had to many structural issues. Took it all down to bare frame, started fresh..
Thanks to
The entire Creative Mobile Interiors Team, we came together as a group with my crazy vision/idea and knocked it out of the park, literally turning the last screw putting on the trailer headed to SEMA.

Engine Mods
Original 402, although it’s been built up by One Racing with modern-day power-adders, such as Keith Black pistons on Scat rods, as well as a Comp Cams Xtreme Energy hydraulic flat-tappet cam. Not only is the engine up on power, but it also runs much more efficiently thanks to a Holley Sniper EFI system. The other end of the big block is met by Sanderson headers, with custom stainless-steel side pipes for some ’70s flavor.
Engine Add Ons
A/C, March performance serpentine belt system, Sniper Fuel Injection, headers and can't forget side pipes!
