New Builder...

Postby 54F100 » Mon Jun 20, 2005 1:21 am

Been lurking and reading for about a month and a half, and finally got around to taking a few pics of my build.
I drove down and picked up my HF trailer the end of May, and decided to go with the generic benroy.
Ended up pulling it out of the garage for the first time today since the weather was good, to start painting.
Now to finish up the hatch and the galley cabinets. ;)

Glad to have you onboard. Good luck on your build project. You've been "lurking", huh? Well then you already know there's a great bunch of guys around here............not all of us are sane, but we have a lot of fun. Hope you will also.
Chris :D

The tension between what is good enough and what is beyond that creates the space for character to become our work.

Hey, that's looking good! I hope to start working on my teardrop later in the summer.

A question - it's looks like you're painting your teardrop and it looks great. What kind of paint are you using? I've been looking at Amorpoxy and the paint that the RotDoctor sells but thought I would inquire about your paint since it looks so good.

Thanks

I went with the Armorpoxy, and am happy with it so far.
Used a roller for most of the trailer and a brush for a few hard to get to areas.

You need to get a hitch on that blue truck. It's the only way to go camping. :thumbsup:
