Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

oh, I can smell the canvas from here!

Oh yeah I have this urge to covet............... This is crying out for a really big hot tub or something........

So why are you stripping it if you can't store it or use it?

Hey you could bring it to Minden and put a big tent on it. Then you could forget it and I could rescue it.......Out of the goodness of my heart you understand.... No seriously I am going smaller but that is a great start on a TTT.

It sounds like you are not wanting to do another project right now which is certainly understandable. Now that you got it stripped, it should be an easy sell. It is a perfect width for a non-fender queen size bed project though! If you were closer that would be perfect for my buddies teardrop he is planning.

I do not need another project right now. I do not need another project right now. I do not need another project right now. I do not need another project right now. I do not need another project right now. But I still have these two walls and a floor kicking around.

I am thinking a WWII bomber theme. I do not need another project right now. I do not need another project right now. I do not need another project right now. I do not need another project right now. I do not need another project right now. I do not need another project right now.

I refuse to answer that question, on the grounds it will incriminate me.

Don't look now, but a pop-up tent trailer blew up in your driveway.



Seriously, since you seem to love canvas so much, you could do a WWONE bomber thingy... w/ canvas and dope.

Do up those walls w/ spars like a tear, but use fabric dope like a WWI biplane.



Sorry. Had to.

Hmmm!!! A Teardrop tent??? You know that might actually work! Interesting concept!

Would be kinda cool looking in olive green canvas fabric made stiffer with what was called "dope". No, not that kind. Eh... you know what I mean. Whatever WWI aircraft used.

Anyhoo... del has said he doesn't need another project.

<--- my new favorite smilie.

Ten minutes later... *silence*

Hey! Where'd everybody go?

Let just say 40 yrs have not been kind to the canvas. To punch a new hole trough the side all you need is one finger and light pressure. Seagulls could have flown through it.

Here is my thoughts a cockpit, top front. A tongue box shaped like a gun turret. Shasta wings shaped like small rudders. A lady in a yellow dress on the sides in front.

good night y'all

Haha, I don't know about everyone else but I went to bed, it was 1am! hee hee

I'm thinking we need a new rank for Del and anyone else with more than two simultaneous builds in progress.
