Progress is at a crawl, 1 and 2 hr chunks a week if Im lucky. I want so badly to get this trailer to the point I can run away from all these things that are gitting in the way of ... well... life! or maybe it's life getting in the way of life, either way a vacation is overdue.
All the exterior is ready for glass and resin on the seams and edges.
The shim work is done for the vent fan.
The kitchen wall is insulated and ready for me to make up my mind on how to finnish, color, style, bla, bla, bla
The windows are trimmed and dry fitted.
Thats all for now, Thanks for checking in.

Picked them up at Advanced Auto Parts, the lights are made by Optronics, standard 12v bulb gasketed for a flush mount. I havent picked out my clearence lights or 3rd brake light yet. I may DBL these up 2 each side.
Thanks for the birthday reminder
I like your interior work and the window is looking good! Nice to see things taking a "finishing" shape. Still a long way to go, I hope you move through the next stage smoothly.
Regarding the tail lights, I was really glad to see tail lights on mine (using the same as yours), but when I photoshopped two more in, I HAD to have them, it really give it personality with four. Either way, it is looking great!

I like the -- -- look on your lights, I'm thinking of doing the same or = = or \\ // or < > and gitting the hole thing to look like it wasnt just thrown on, It's one of the harder choices Ive had to make on the build.

Posted: Wed Jun 03, 2009 3:37 amHiya, Anthony!
I sure like the way you've added "picture framing" to your windows ... ... that little bit of 3-D effect nicely breaks up the vast flatness of the side walls!
You are making some nice progress (no matter how slowly you think it is coming ...
...), and I'll be looking forward to seeing the finished product! Continued Good Luck, and as always ...
CHEERS!

Posted: Thu Jun 04, 2009 9:33 pmHey Tony, I like this photo the best because it gives a more realistic feel that a flat face, good pic!
Soooo, you know this is going to make it HARDER right!
Here goes!
I first started out with my arrangement not thinking... you can't have a light where there is a hatch rib! Here it is just for fun tho:
So I started over starting with single lights. I don't know where you are gonna put your license plate but I figured it would be here and it really adds to the look so I tossed mine in there...
Here is the side by side look while avoiding the hatch ribs, kinda reminds me of a Studebaker or Hudson or something
Same thing with the Plate above, this looks better.
Lights stacked, looks pretty good
Just to throw things off, lets rotate em~ ~ ~ Looks like a 72 Cutlass.
Told ya! ! !

You da Man!
Im leaning twards the Cutles look, I think the lights look taller and complament height of the trailer. Your right, until you said it I havent even considered the issue of the rib.
The cutles look gets me past that issue doesnt it.
Thanks for the help!

Posted: Sat Jun 06, 2009 12:07 pmHey All,
Just a quick Bed....Post
I have the Bed / Couch frame done, Just need to drop in the plywood pannels and add the piano hinge. The runners on the wall are currently pine, I will change them out with oak later.
Oh ya, there will be a center brace installed on the first section with wheels to acc. moving back and forth and additional support.
And another to show the area for the pot, a hidaway cabinet will cover during the day.
Thanks for checking in

Posted: Sat Jun 06, 2009 2:52 pmI think that one is definitely the top choice too, glad to help!
I like your bed set up and hiding the porto-pot with a cabinet is a great idea!
