fenders and A/C cover done!

Postby CASHCOW » Tue Dec 11, 2007 10:03 pm

Finally getting down to the nitty gritty! With less than two weeks to go before our "Maiden Voyage," things are coming together for the CASHCOW.... fenders, trim, etc

:( Went to pickup some parts today and found out they are trapped somewhere between here and one of the many ice storms.

But Brenda went to the Motor Vehicle department, paid them almost $45.00 and WAAAALAAAA :chicken: :chicken: :chicken: WE GOT A TAG! :P :beautiful:

Now we just need some :sweaty: :sweaty: or we will need to go buy a small heater for that maiden voyage. :D

Great TD and wonderful execution of the A/C cover!

As a fellow Texan, how did you register your TD - as a utility trailer or as a homebuilt recreational trailer? This would be helpful info if I ever get off my backside and get started on mine.

As a fellow Texan, how does an Aggie register a camper? ;)

Mine is registered as a utility.

Looking good.

You'll have to let me know how you seal it, and if you have any problems with leaks if you are towing in the rain.

Mike...
The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten, so build your teardrop with the best materials...

leaks??? :x cant have a leak if you only go camping in the sun shine :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

but i'm going to put the front box right up to the AC cover and hoping :worship: the water goes around it but if not then back to the CAD :twisted: trust me it well not leak ....:DOH2: if i have to knock myself out. It will be sealed with trim, gaskets, etc just like the hatch.
