Hey there

I was told by Dale (www.thesquidget.com) that this is the place to be for info on building my Tiny Travel Trailer. I am also the guy who put together Dales new site.

I think I am going to be taking the plunge and start building the squidget sometime before March. I look forward to all advice everyone can give me while taking this on.

Welcome Donnie,
As Dave stuttered, there is no end to the fun. All we need is pictures :pictures: to keep the bubble oil level and you get all the advice and help you can handle.

Enjoy

Hi, Donnie!

Not only do you have great skills to begin with, but with Dale, you also have the world's best consultant.

I saw his trailer at our St. Augustine gathering...we've been build buddies since we started...and he AND the Squidget are the absolute greatest.

Thanks.


IM also working on another site as I type this at www.diyplans.ws . I think it will just end up being a repository for plans of all kinds. Cars, boats, toys, tears, etc.

Welcome Donnie,
That is one heck of a Tucker replica on your site. I wish I had the money for that one.
Before I die I would like to build a Lone Star Classic LS427, or have Superfomance build me a 427. I really like the LS40 too.

I agree about the Tucker Replica. My jaw dropped when I first seen it. Only way you can get it is if Rob Ida builds it, and at 350k it is sure to pinch your bank account a bit

350k for a replica of one of the best designed cars ever, might not be that bad. I just wonder what cars would be like today if the big three wouldn't have screwed Tucker. :thinking:

Good point I would rather have the original. Still a sweet car none the less.
