Looks like the Binford 4000 works great! Congratulations...

It does not hit the body now when you open the door. After I adjust the door I feel a dance coming, Mary you ready? Brick, Kerry, and Auntie M thank you.

What she said!!!! Man that is one big hummer of a hinge. I need to learn to weld, make some new hinges for my tank.

Being the hinge is made of 1" square tubing, I think your tank door would break it, or at least bend it.
Today I skinned the top of the hatch, took two pics (did not turn out). Finished installing the homemade washers on the body bolts. Tried to adjust the door hinge, but got plenty of practice with my swearing instead.

good night folks, tomorrow is another day.

You have to practice your swearing?

I find it is rather natural for me, kind f like eating and sleeping.



Don't want to put any pressure on you, but December 1st is only a little over 3 weeks away. And I seem to remember that you needed one week travel time................. But no pressure.

That's an awfully small hinge support area... might be tough to align and keep aligned... More hinges ???

Its looking awsome Del.

And I need to do maintenance on my subaru, wire a brake controller, and charge wire. Time to get to work.

Because of the curve, if I use a wider hinge it has to get bigger.

Been a busy day, started by sanding the hatch into shape.

I continued sanding the body till my arms turned to mush. Sealed the galley counter. Got the door to shut.

Continued to insulate the floor.

And finished the day by mounting the latch in the door.

I am glad today was not yesterday, I feel like I accomplished something today.

I usually feel that way too!
It's a good thing, because, today is the only day we have!

Your build is awesome-great!
I'm glad that the R&D portion of the hinges has worked out!

What's the hurry, Florida is too hot!!

[Miriam C.]

So glad things are working and getting done. Selfish cause I really want to see it.

I am glad the hinge is done. Thanks for watching my crazy build.

I like warm weather, hate cold weather, when it gets below 20c (70f), Florida and me are a good combo (Arther does not scream so loud.
