Hey Bill,

Welcome to the forum... your teardrop build is coming along nice.

Hey, for those of you guys that are thinking about building your own wooden fenders, Bill has wooden fenders on his teardrop. Check them out in his album here...

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

He's been done almost two years--he just didn't post the rest of his pics yet!

Mike, do me a favor and make it a GREAT day today, okay? Go get buzzed and have a great dinner out! And if you want to take your wife with you, I guess that's okay too,
Here we go again!

Welcome Bill. Nice work.

I see Houlton, ME now. By chance did you ever teach at the University of Denver? You never know! :thinking:
