Perfect name: The (wild) Blue Yonder.
The logo is very nice and the TD looks crisp and clean.

Soon, it will be off you go into the wild blue yonder for certain! :thumbsup: :applause:

Loader,

That is a really sharp rig. Like everything about it. Really like the "No Smoking in Bomb Bay" sign. 8)

With that theme though I would have had to have fixed some (at least faux) wings on the booger. :lol:

Thanks for the kind words all, I really appreciate it!

Thanks Larry, I really do like the hub caps, I wanted some for this build since I couldn't get any for the Bungalette. And Hub Cap Mike really has super fast shipping! :thumbsup:

Appreciate it Thomas, the colors are working out, I was worried at first with just how "bright" the blue is.

Heck Sandy, I might still have some wet sealant or glue on this thing when we head down the road towards Lake Bisteneau! :lol:

Thanks Sharron, after my 20 years in the USAF, it seemed natural to use it as a theme!

We really like the sign too Woodstramp. (I was a weapons loader/technician in the air force). Never know, might have to find a small wings decal or something! Thanks for looking and the kind words.

Very nice Earl,

I klnow building a hatch can be a "sweat it out moment." Can't wait to see it mounted.

I'm with Thomas. The graphics and accents really pull together the overall design and theme. And, the baby moon hubcaps top it all off!

See y'all in a couple of weeks at LCG!

Take care,
Tom

Earl are those the regular trailers wheels that you just put the caps on? I was looking on Hubcap Mikes site and didn't see any but the full smoothie caps that might work on the regular trailer wheels.

Cliff, yep, they sure are the regular ol trailer wheels.

I did order the 15" Smoothie Hubcaps (item number bhc-01-15).

Thanks for the kind words Woodbutcher! I still need to get the hatch finished up (supports and latched)

I agree 2bits, those hub caps make the 'ol white spoker's look a lot better, "instant retro".

Lookin' good Earl.

How to attach my fenders is drivin' me nuts :? I know it's surely not that difficult. Shucks, the hatch wasn't as bad a mental strain as the fenders are becoming, I just need to hang the stupid little things and be done with it. :lol:
