VERY nice!!! VERY Clean! And VERY slick!

Like, one would think that it's no big deal to get your galley curve to look like that, but you can really tell immediately how perfectly it was done and that ain't easy.

It's not off even a tiny fraction of an inch ANYWHERE, like a LASER did it from a computer!

I managed to loft the coordinates as provided in Steve Wolverton's cowper plans. I traced out the profile to my liking and took my Jigsaw and cut the profile out being careful to stay outside the lines.

Nicely done!

Way Sweeet!!!!

It's a good feeling when you start to have something that actually looks like a TD!!!

So, do you plan on transporting your motorcycle "IN" the TD??

Thanks for the kind comments, Ira and Steve. The curves were a pain but I took my time and did it slowly and carefully. It nearly drove me nuts and I had to walk away with the hand planer and tell myself to stop messing with it and leave it alone.

Steve-Do you remember any specifics about your galley from your Cowper build? like how long the deck was? where you installed the stringers? etc??

MaryK-Hey Mary, It is a great feeling to see it start to look like something other than a pile of wood. To answer your question, I will be transporting the motorcycle in front of the teardrop. I will have a cargo deck in front of the teardrop that will be 4x6 feet...big enough to carry two motorcycles. Here is what my TD will look like...sort of.

Mine had no galley.

Just curious, what is your tow vehicle?

[sandman]

I didn't really mean Galley but your back storage shelf. Not sure how long to make the deck. My tow vehicle is a 2001 Toyota Tundra(V-8).
