Del, Any chance your teardrop will dress up as a pumpkin for halloween? You could take cinderella to the ball too. I really like the shape but cant help but think it needs wide wheels and fenders too like the roswell. Good work and looks like fun to me.

I agree on the fenders, just have to figure out how to build them, and change the axle.

well it is time to start showing pics of my journey. Somewhere just in Arkansas, just over the boarder from Missouri, was Fred's teardrop.
Image
Here is a couple of axles for someone's teardrop project.

A couple of pics of the jelly belly resting in Florida.


And now a question on adding fenders to the jelly belly. The fenders need to be light yet strong, one off (I think making a mold would be going to far), and mount to the (covering it completely) existing fender. For an axle I am thinking torsion half axles (width can be easily changed, plus the existing cross member will not be doubled). Any ideas on how to construct the fenders?

Morning Del,
Any chance you can make half Jelly Bellys for the fenders. 8) I know, I am a trouble maker. :twisted: :R
