Anyhow, I'm getting back to the Jim Dandy Tear, Which at last post looked something like this:

Now, over the past few months, I've had to dissassemble it and it looks more like this now:

I've also used the spars for other projects, and frankly, I had gone about the whole process the wrong way. I tied up ALOT of money ($500+) in a frame before I started on the shell, big mistake. I also was planning on uninsulated other than the floor and roof, New plan is to fully insulate, re-cutting the sides as framing.
I'm also going to spend the extra $50 for bendy ply and build a hatch onto the rear, as well as a tongue box on the front.
Goal is to have a usable tear by Jan '07, and hopefully complete by December '07.
