Some progress pics

Postby dguff » Mon Feb 11, 2008 5:46 pm

I have made some more progress on the new teardrop. Previously called the "Guffman" I may change the name to the "Vinyliner" since both the roof and the sides are covered in Brun Tuff marine grade waterproof vinyl.

There are a few more pics in my personal album.

:applause: :applause: :thumbsup: Now that is really beautiful. :thumbsup: Do you have the vinyl floated or is it glues down? :thinking:

Thanks Gage. The vinyl is glued down and I still have some work to do with a few bubbles but I think it will come out fine.

Teardrop Name

Postby The Teardrop Nanny » Mon Feb 11, 2008 8:21 pm

Dear Jerome,

Oooo, aaaaaahhh, looking goooooood.
I hope you will keep it named the Guffman, as it really personalizes the teardrop, and connects it back to you, rather than Mr. Vinyl. $0.02 worth.

Those fenders are from R.W. Johnson although I bought them from another party. They are really nice quality. They will be painted grey to match the color scheme. I think I can get a lot better ventilation without the doors and they are kind of a pain anyway! :lol: :lol: :lol:
