Looks really sharp, Shooter. (sharpshooter?) :thinking: :lol:

Keep it up. :thumbsup:
Chris :D

The tension between what is good enough and what is beyond that creates the space for character to become our work.

It looks nice. I'm just slightly ahead of you on my build. (pics in album) My hatch is already built and installed. I had built the frame of my hatch earlier. I skinned it this past weekend and I was skeptical at first on what I have read on here that the hatch isn't that bad at all, and I am a believer now. That hatch was the easiest part that I have had up to this point.

Yes, very nice. Hopefully you are keeping an album progress together. I do recall that there was a time where there was sealant going on the bottom of the camper, some clean clothes and hands, but a smigin of sealant on the leg.... This has turned quite a bit around, don't you think?

They are replacement door skins 36x80 approx.1/8" thick.I set them at about a 30 deg. angle. Got them at home depot, about $7.00 each. Just have to find a nice grain you like by sorting through the stack........

Hey JasonTX.

I was looking at your avatar and it looks familiar. Is that a Brantly B2B?

Later.
