Grizz-Pod Teardrop Trailer - New tow truck - 66 Chevy

[pete42]

Great build, great friends, great girl what a combo.

Very nice build and having built my own airplane I said I am glad I did it but would never do it again.

then on my second homemade airplane I said I am glad I did it but .....well you know the story.

Grizz and Nicole:

Great job! Beautiful teardrop! Congratulations on getting it camp-able. Thanks for sharing your build and all your pictures. It's been fun.

Congratulations Grizz! It looks GREAT!

[StPatron]

I can't say it any better than pete42 did, "Great build, great friends, great girl what a combo."

You've built a gorgeous camper, Rian. I really like that door!

This has been a most enjoyable read, like a good book I don't want it to end. Please stop by now and then with updates, ok?

Wishing you and Nicola many, many years of happiness together and lotza wonderful camping trips.

Good lookin' build - lots of progress made towards the end - but the first tow is with everything intact is a special feeling

Thanks Everyone.



Did loads of bits tonight and the last of the big jobs.

Cut the hole in the roof, which clearly spoils the clean lines, but there is no way I am turning that into a mobile sauna.

Nicola was sorting all the camping stuff from the bus into a more sensible package.
She also sorted the galley the way she wants it.

In the mean time,I fine tuned the door, added hooks, lights etc, and made a stool/step for getting in and out of the caravan etc.

Nicola was worried about whether cutting a hole into a perfectly good roof was a good idea. So raced upstairs to take a "I told you not to do it" photo while I was cutting the hole.

I am please to say it is fitted , sealed and looks great from the inside.




I forgot to take pic while it was light of the hatch in place, also not the curtains Nicola made out of the left over fabric.


I need to get to bed, it's almost midnight.

[grizz]

Thanks again all for the compliments and encouragement.


Quick update tonight.

I am off to bed early.

Fitted the Grizz-Pod lettering this morning at 6am.



Tonight I made up the bed after bringing down the mattresses etc

Pics will tell the story, I am knackered.



The little stool came from another hospital tip so I took off the fabric and foot rest, and replaced it with part of the door cut out. Remember the rest went into making up the cookers sliding shelf.
It now makes a real comfy seat and step.

Getting the trailer ready for its maiden voyage tomorrow up to the Classic Ford Show, Nicola came over from her place and sneaked this sticker into my hand from behind and walked away......

I am really chuffed, I had planned on buying and ordering the " Home Built 2010 " sticker from the USA, but this is as good as, in fact much better as she had gone and found it on the web, after a search.

The way the trailer is reversed into the back yard there is no way of getting a decent photo , but when it is outside or parked up somewhere I will get a decent pic of both the name and this sticker.


SOOOOOO Looking forward to this weekend.
