Paul in Australia asked me a long while ago for a profile drawing of this pretty little Australian teardrop:

Finally I've got them done (just profiles, not plans) and I thought others might be interested in them, so I've added them to my Profiles page

The one on the left is the same 7ft length as the original, while the right one is stretched to 8ft.

You just know that I'm going to download the profiles and play with them in Sketchup, don't you?? :duh

I think I have a 3-D model of every one of your profiles done so far. These will have to wait until after the weekend probably. I leave Thursday after work for Huntsville, Alabama with the tear for some R&R.

Hey, I was gonna let everyone know :o :lol:

Thanks for doing them for me Andrew. I've convinced the Handbrake that our next one will be the 8 footer(even though we use metric down here)

Cheers
Paul :thumbsup:

Hey, Paul!

That's a really interesting design! Would you happen to have any more pics and maybe some history you could send me to add to our archives & historical collection? You can e-mail me directly at [email protected] or [email protected]

Very much appreciated, my Friend! As another piece of the History of Teardrop Trailers falls into place ...

CHEERS!
