Just called Ft. Worth Plywood. $24/sheet for bendable luan plywood. Looks like I'll have a painted tear. I'll pickup more materials later in the week.

Edit 12/27/06:

Kinda postponed for a few months. Trying to save up for a plane ticket and a few other unexpected expenses.

Had a nice ebay find today.

Also picked up a power inlet hatch last night.

2nd auction link

Gonna finish gathering parts, and once I get back from georgia it'll be build time!

Bobby,

Your tear looks a little like mine......excellent!!

Sure does look similar.

Got my windows yesterday, Vinyl roofing today. (pictured below)



Final decision is woody sides with a white vinyl roof.

Going to use Minwax Red Sedona topped with Helmsman Spar Varnish.



Picture looks horrible due to bad lighting.

Bobby,

Thats going to look real good!! What kind of wood are you using on the sides?

Just some nice birch plywood I found at HD. Still trying to find some bendy birch for the sides.

[Ron]

Didn't you find some bendy wood at Fort Worth Plywood Co.? Last time I was there they had some displays of bendy plywood.

Guy I talked to said they had bendy-luan

I need to give them another call.

Called them again today, got a different sales person and they have exactly what I need 1/4" Bendy birch, $20.80 for a 4x8 sheet. I'll try to pick it up when I make a trip to Bedford sometime next week.
