Looking good. Like the stainless steel choice. I always wanted to see a miniature airstream come to life.

It never occurred to me that you would need to tie off your Motorcycle. :shock:
Was the trip that rough or the deck slippery?

I never would have thought to bring a line...

Then you should see the ferries when they are carrying mostly motorcycles to the Isle of Man TT races. In the foreground is one of the foam padded 'fences' that are fixed on the deck, to which all bikes are lashed for the sea voyage. You can tell the experienced travellers, as they have got a towel ready to protect their bike from the ropes.

Hello again, after a short pause and some other projects I returned today to my trailer and made a little progress.
Mounted the body to the chassis and riveted a tube under the baggage compartment to stiffen the bottom.

Next step was to drill the 4mm holes to rivet the first part of the skirt to the frame.

welcome back! Where clecos are, are those the only rivets? Or do you plan to have some inbetween each cleco? Seems like a stretch for good spacing.

Hy Randy - i will only set rivets where the clecos are, but there will be a second frame riveted inside the lower end of the skirt and a half circle around the tires.
