Well, we're almost there. Attached the fenders and tongue box draw latches yesterday.

The fenders are on! here's the passenger's side.

Driver's side fender.

The tongue box draw latches.

We got her all but finished today; too tired to remember to take pictures. Just the hatch draw latches and a tweak to the spare tire mounting then she'll be on the road.

All the Best,

Dave

Congratulations! I think we can all agree that everyone aspires to create something as beautiful as this. I hope to see it someday. Have a great summer, as I"m sure you're already dreaming of parking this thing out in nature somewhere and enjoying the good life.

Lucky for us, Doug and Caryn, watch for the rig following us on Wednesday! :D Dave and Lisa are caravaning up with us. We should be showing up around 1sh. We have warned Dave tours will promptly commence and not stop until Sunday when they leave! :lol: :? It sure is a beauty!

I drove her to Carson City today, she's now got her VIN and plates!!! She came in a little heavier than expected but it'll just make us enjoy the journey by slowing down a bit more.

Final pictures soon.

All the Best,

Dave

Dave, amazing job the trailer came out beautiful. I was just curious as to how much the weight ended up being on the finished trailer. Happy camping, Jim

Hello Dave: Do I need a number to take the tour? If so I want to get mine in advance please...

It sure turned out nicely. :thumbsup:

See you at the "Dam".

Hold your horses there tough guy. We all know that you're not done until you get those sweet graphics installed.
