Inside/outside TV? Brilliant if it is and I totally would have copied it for mine.

Did you make your wheel tubs or are they the ones summit sells?
Looks great I think I need one behind my 67

I had a local sheet metal shop make them for me. They did a great job.

Jim,

Everything is looking fantastic! Would you mind a couple of questions? Are you using pre-finished plywood for most of the interior or are you applying finishes before installation? Also, what type & thickness of plywood are you using for your roof (and front and back)?

Take care,
Tom

Yes it is prerefinished plywood ¼ inch from the orange big box store. I could not find it in ⅛ inch for the roof so I picked up the thinner stuff from the local woodworking store. Yes I'm applying the finish before installing.
