I just had to do it. But first I had to re-chrome them. ;)

Well they’re not really head lights. They’re reflectors and they came on the trailer, just not chromed. I also don’t think they were factory original. I have no idea where they came from. I’ve not seen anything like them. :thinking:

Oh man, you mean I have to put it back in that condition. :? That's what the guy I got it from paid for it. Even though he gave it to me, I gave him $100 for it. He needed it. :)

I wish you had not posted a before and after picture you have made me feel very inferior in my building skills.

that before picture would make 99% of the people who saw it walk away, I'm glad you're one of the 1 percenters (1%)

you may have heard this before NICE TRAILER. :awesome:

Did you see my web page on it? I've been on it for almost a year now. With my health issue, it's just a matter of taking your time and not getting in a hurry. And not worrying about how long it's taking you. That’s the key. ;)

Gage,
You're right about taking your time. Our build took over a year, but what a year it was! We truly had fun with the build. Whenever it even began to feel like work, we'd take a break. It was nothing like I'd ever done before. Everything else in life has a due date on it, no matter what it HAS to be done by that date. Teardrop building allows you time to think and feel what you're doing. I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.
Steve
Building the TD was the best thing I ever made.
