Allow me to introduce myself.

Hello. After many years of thinking, reading about teardrops I started cutting iron for mine April 29th. Found this forum the next day. The frame is mostly donated iron from a wheel line sprinkler mover. The axle is from a VW Rabbit pickup, Also a freebe. I am not widening the axle as I want it to track the tow vehical (Mazda 4x4 Pickup) as i do have a habit of going where no road graders go. I am not building a full 4x4 like those folks. They are crazy and I have a couple of years before I join them. Just building it for the rougher roads. I have the frame mostly tacked up, last major task is setting the rear spring hangers. Found the material for that in the junk pile just as I quit work on it yesterday. Cabin will be 8 foot long. Don't know if I will stop at 4 foot wide or go for 5 foot. Will try to get some pictures later this week. Hope to have it on its wheels my next weekend so I can drag it about the local roads to see how bad it tows to one side.
