Conch Fritter took her second road test trip today. She has her "wings" installed and the door handles and the galley door, so we could actually get up to some speed. At 60 you don't know it is behind the truck. Even though not balanced yet, it tows dead straight behind, essentially no wiggle at all. I guess we got the trailer pretty square when we built it. Still have to stain the trim, add in the circles and wing lines and then varnish. Stain will be a golden oak. Then build the bottom trim and boxes. And of course the door trim.
Showing off her wings. The external galley area is just now in the beginning stages of completion. The small, curved areas at each end of the bottom back will be covered with cedar. Then the galley hatch will be covered with an aluminum sheet. The hatch flips down and is supported on the cedar bumper (not installed yet) and acts as a support and swivel for the actual galley boxes, which get installed tomorrow. In the center, flat area, will be be the cut-out of the door scallop, which will be the license plate holder. The tail lights and turn signals I'm still designing, but they will be LEDs and will probably be recessed into the lower curves
