Hello From Centerville Ga

[ronnie]

I'm interested and I'm contemplating building a modified version of the Lil-diner. To haul behind my 1960 Triumph tr3a. I'm having a difficult time deciding on the exterior material. Filon or aluminum. I have not yet priced the filon does anyone have an idea as to its cost?



Thanks
Ronnie

These folk can get you to the nearest dealer. Many of the semi trailer manafactures will have smaller pieces they are tossing as around if you know anyone that works at a trailer plant. If you find it there it will be translucent but paintable and best of all CHEAP !

P.S. Welcome to our little corner of insanity !

Hello Ronnie;

I don't recognize houston county, North/South/Coastal??

Geron; I noticed Blue Ridge on your location, My mother was born there and after 46 years in California, now live in Blairsville, beautiful part of the country, I'll probably retire in the area myself.

Ronnie; Good luck with the build, remember ask lots of uestions and take lots of oicture along the way.

to the playground Ronnie. Getting lots of Georgia folks lately. You shouldn't have a problem finding a TD to look at.

I see you have the thing down pat and the bubble oil level so get to making sawdust. It's the only treatment ya know.

Hi Ronnie,

Welcome to the forum.

Lil Diner... good choice!



As for the skin, filon is much heavier than aluminum.

You might also consider fiberglass or carbon fiber!
