They didn't have LED recessed lights in 1956 but should have.

Hi Jim,

Your canned ham "re-build" looks fantastic!

As you know, I've been following your build to increase my knowledge base in case I ever decide to build a standy. I've pretty much understood - with your explanations and pictures - what you've done so far, but I have a couple of questions about your roof structure. I believe you're using 1/4" ply (or thereabouts) for the interior skin. What are you using for spars - 1x2 (flat on on edge), 2x2, etc.? How do you plan to build up the perimeter edges? Maybe by using plywood strips between the spars? (I believe that is how vintage trailers were built.)

Thank you and take care,
Tom

Wow!
Great Job Jim
You have had a productive winter.
Making me feel guilty about my build.
Keep up the "Great" work and the "Fantastic" pace!

⅛ inch Birch, ¼ is not flexible enough. The walls are ¼ because it was prefinished and cheaper.

The spars are 2x2's I planed down to 1 1/16.

You are on the money as to what will happen between the spars.
