What have I started... Build.

Postby Dunenutt » Fri Jun 19, 2015 3:35 pm

I decided to build a teardrop to match my classic truck. Basic design is a Wyoming Woody, highly modified. This project should move pretty fast.

"This project should move pretty fast." That's what I thought last year this time, prior to the beginning of my build. A year later & I'm giving it another year to get things done. Nice job on the frame & welcome!

What's the truck, is it the one in your avatar or something different?

Yes, It's the one in my avatar. The trailer will have the same wheels, tires, paint, and hopefully matching trim.

I know what you mean about time goals. The truck took me 2.5 years to complete.

But then again, after 2.5 years, you got one heck of a good looking TV.

Thank You! I'm pretty comfortable around metal, but this wood thing is fairly new ground. It will be an interesting adventure.

Looks like a good start. Good luck. It only took me 5 years to complete mine.
