Old tent trailer showed up in my drive way, what next.

[fireaunt]

oh, I can smell the canvas from here!

[Miriam C.]

I went out and measured. The body is like 6' 4" wide and 11' long. To build a teardrop with fenders and no wheel wells the frame rails are 4' 5" wide. As it stands I can use the axle, but it will be several years before I could use the frame. And with no room to store it...

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.

[2bits]

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

[teardrop_focus]

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?

[del]

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

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