Just wanted to say I went to look over what rmcelroy is building. He was putting the finishing touches on his skin when I got there. LOOKING GOOD.

Looking at his tear and others on here I think I will put my plans for a tiny trailer on hold and build a tear myself for fun and to let the kids have something to borrow.

Don't worry when I start I will post some pic's just be patient gotta start buying materials first.

Keep rmcelroy up the good work you have inspired me to begin in next week or two.

Thanks for the kind words Drew, while my tear is two steps away from being road ready-tag bracket /light and calk and attach hatch hinge. I have compiled a to do list this morning that is longer than I like, I'm afraid the tweaking will go on and on.

I still can't wait to get out and start camping, even though this project has been a lot of fun-the past few weeks it has felt more like work than fun.

It was good to have you over to talk. I'm glad to hear you are going to move ahead with your tear.

MJ my album will be updated soon, I have been focused on the build to the point that the pics just stayed in the camera (stupid pics don't care if you get mad) :lol:

How many of you have done this-I left a message under the Al on the plywood of my door with info I thought someone in the future would find interesting. I listed names of folks involved in the build, the time frame it was built in, the alloy of the Al (not quiet sure why on that one) etc.

I was thinking of the restores I have seen on this page and it struck me that not only did I now have a camper to enjoy but I have put another TD in the world to be used abused enjoyed and maybe restored one day long after I'm gone.... that made me smile

Enjoy your work folks its pretty cool.

Happy camping
Mc
