Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Okay here are just some Sneak Preview Photos for you...
Since I know you LUV Da Pics..

Its 21:55 here and Im out doing some work yet in my Under The Arctic Skies Shop..

Not your ordinary Diamond Plate










Here is the Hatch with the Centaflex Hinge just recently installed to the Hatch Side .. Still the Body side needs to be done... have to wait till the Sikaflex dries real well...

This is what I used...









Also if you remember the mouldings I found after a very long search here are the Rubber moulding and on the Backside of it is the Butyl Tape all in one. Also here is the Insert Moulding..

Its going slow but we really like this pattern... now I just need to cut it to the bottom portion of the door frames.. which has a slight radius...we,ll see how that turns out..

Then the bending of it in the front and back lower radius is a real pain..

But ok its coming along...

Hi there Gerdo... Well ... its not the easiest but its also somewhat fun...
I just have very basic tools sooooo ...

Its nice to see how this will look all spruced up...

Im debating as to how far apart the screws would be located and then what screws would look the best...

But we,ll get it eventually...Ohh easy way to bend this plating...

I have 4 straps that can be tightened .... I hooked them up from front to back and the plating is set right in the place where we want it and both the wife and I tightened the straps little by little and soon the plating was sitting nicely to the radius of the back lower radius like it should..

I guess its a bit risky doing it this way but so far so good...

Heikkster,
That diamond plate reall does indeed look Finntastic!
Kinda looks like what a sailor would do with a bunch of rope while out to sea...
God Job Heikkeye!!!

If you nee to wray the DP around say a 2x4 bumper just screw it down and tale a poly or rubber mallet and beat it.

CF,

Man, that diamond plate looks awesome!!! I love your choice of tail lights and everything. Excellent work on your Teardrop.

Very nice work, I can't wait to see the entire package.
The teasing pictures just left me wanting to see more. Of course I guess that's what the were supposed to do.

Again Heikki as always very nice, you have something there to be proud of .
