The inside is starting to remind me of an old German coffee shop or pub. I like it!

Michael, 36 hours working straight is unheard of. How can you do that? Astroliner will be one unique stunning and stylish new classic!

Honestly, 24 hours during race season is common . 36 is plain stupid. lol

It was a productive weekend down at the shop. We finalized the rest of the items that needed to be sealed up and weather tight as well as installing lights and sorting out wires. We got the clearance lights and the tail lights as well as the license plate light working. Here's a couple shots as well as a short video, so check it out!

In case you are wondering, the tail lights are one of a kind. They are a combination of '66 Impala and '60 El Camino with LED circuit boards...

We are also starting a blog so feel free to check it out and follow!

Well, as they say every little bit helps. I've been able to work on the Astroliner a little bit at a time and it seems like we've been making some progress. All of the exterior lights are now wired as well as the fans on the inside. All the wires are ready for other miscellaneous interior lights but we're not quite ready for that yet.

Here's one of the fans:

There are two. They are Fantastic Fans. One is located in the main cabin and one is located in the bathroom.

I also got trim installed on all the windows. Here's a couple shots:

We wired and installed the lighting for the Captain's Quarters:

And I thought I would post a side view because I'm amazed at how finished she looks from the outside...

As always, thanks for viewing!

Thanks KC... Trying to put a little money together to buy materials for the inside. We're all ready to begin but clear birch is expensive!
