Does anyone know where I can find more information on the Woody pictured?

I borrowed this photo from the Vintage Plans section.

I really like the look of the exterior and was hoping there were more photos or plans for this design that I may incorporate into my own build.

I found these plans on a Woodie website which I may use as a general guide for my measurements for a 10 footer.

Yeah, I agree that is a nice looking woody tear drop. Don't know anything about it though. 8)

There's a nice rear shot of it and the tow vehicle on page 37 of Douglas Keisters new book ($20.00) Teardrops and Tiny Trailers. Buy the book, :D Danny

That's Cliff Parker's rig, from SoCal. If memory serves me right, it's a woody re-do over a vintage tin-skinned teardrop of unknown origin. The trailer is stunning to say the least! If you go to the S.C.T.T.'s website - www.touringtears.com - and browse the Gathering pictures there, you'll likely see many photos of it. Likewise if you peruse the S.C.T.T. Gathering photos on the www.teardrops.net website, Larry's Outback Teardrop site, and good ol' Gage's site ... Cliff and his trailer are frequent visitors to those and several vintage trailer rallies in the southland (of California).

CHEERS!
