1947 Tourette Renovate/Restore Done!

[burlesot]

I sincerely apologize for multiple posts; I never really started a build page here because I was writing and posting tons and tons of photos on my blog. I thought I would post here that as of this evening, the Carpe Diem is done!

I cannot thank you all enough for the guidance you've given me every step of the way. You've been kind and compassionate with my ignorant questions.

Now the fun begins; using the teardrop!

If you would like to see how it looks, take a look here: http://toddsteardropblog.blogspot.com/2013/06/shes-done.html

I will add some more images of everything (inside and outside tour) tomorrow evening and I'll post them here as well.

Thank you friends! I hope to meet many of you in the near future. First trip is planned: to Canada!

Sincerely,
Todd

I created a video 'tour' of the Carpe Diem.

Hope you enjoy it.

I finally had the chance to make a visual tour from before/during and after the refurbishment of my 1947 Tourette. You can read about it and see the video (at the bottom of the blog post) http://toddsteardropblog.blogspot.com/2013/07/visual-journal-from-beginning-to-end.html. Thanks for looking and for all the incredible support along the way. I hope my work might serve as inspiration for someone just beginning the process. While I may not have 'built' this baby, it sure feels like I did!
