I did get the parts cut and painted for the wheel wells. It's hard to work when you keep running back inside to check football scores. :lol: More tomorrow. :thumbsup:


Methinks ya need to move the lights a tad bit closer to the actual trailer part of the build in progress!! 8) 8) :lol:

Not tied up right now, got to trim them up a little, get some silicone in the cracks, metal on the inside, etc.

Here's a little preview (hopefully) of the inside of my "Tear-Tanic"

before...

after (concept)...

The flatscreen on the back wall will rotate around into the galley for outdoor viewing. The area for the dog will prolly just be a pillow, not a cage.

Teartanic outside of the fate of the Titanic sounds pretty good. Just hope your maiden voyage goes better than it's did! Looking good there!

Hi, Johnny:

You are one tough critter, working outside, in the cold and dark! Your trailer is starting to look good. Now that it has a floor, it doesn't look so huge. It looks like it will be comfy!

Keep up the good work! :thumbsup: (But, don't get pneumonia!)
