P.S. And if you want, I'll bring the Baja Benroy... just let me know...!!!

Hot dog... you're right... there is a photo of your frame in the galley. That's huge... what is it 7' x 12'? It's kinda hard to see...

But it definitely reminds me of the frame for the Baja Benroy...

Okay so the photo in your album is the before photo...

So you chopped off 4" on a side... You'll have to have some kind of a fender to cover the wheel. Was that your plan? Or are you wheels still completely underneath the frame?

It sounds like you've got a comfortable teardrop in the works. Have you picked out a profile yet?
