Teardrop construction website up!

Postby gyroguy » Sat Jan 20, 2007 11:34 am

Go to www.crocodiletear.com for the new teardrop construction website! Lots of details, pix, construction log, etc. on building a teardrop from scratch for $593.

It was great fun building this little teardrop! Small changes are happening to make it as perfect as possible. Over time, the website will include these changes. I'm working on a new section to be called "innovations." As I get them in the website, I'll make a post here to let you know.

You're welcome to link the crocodiletear website to your own website so others can see it. And if you want your link to show up in the www.crocodiletear.com website, let me know.

BTW, the beautiful work on this website was done by a buddy who is an artist and who designs websites for a living. This website is a demo or an example of what he can do. Interested in having him make your website shine? Click on his name at bottom of website and send him an e-mail.

My thanks to Mike and all of you on the T&TTT forum for your help! The only reason there is a www.crocodiletear.com website is because all of you inspired me. Hope you like the results!

G/G, what type of glue did you use to glue insulation in walls?

I like what you did with what you had......

Hey--that guy made have done a great job on the design...

But you did an OUTSTANDING job on organizing the content in that manner, and telling him how the site should be laid out and how links should work within the site!

Plus, LOADS REAL FAST FOR ME AT HOME--ON DIAL-UP!

Finally, EXCELLENT, FRIENDLY, EXCITING, INTRIGUING. EASY-TO-UNDERSTAND WRITING FOR THE LAYMAN!!!

I ain't blowing smoke up your ass, because although I don't do web sites for a living, I've done just about evereyhting else when it comes to presenting content.

And you did a FANTASTIC job ith this!
Here we go again!

Great Site

Postby Bob Pierce » Sat Jan 20, 2007 9:48 pm

That a great web site with great information. You can be proud of a job well done. As a side note - my modified weekender I'm building has taken 9 months so far. I should be finished some time in February.

Plastic Fenders!

Postby gyroguy » Mon Apr 09, 2007 10:24 pm

I've just put plastic fenders on my Crocodile Tear... and the wife says, "You're SO cheap!"

Check out my album to see how they look.

Didn't get them on the website yet, but check out website, too. ;)

I have to agree with your wife. :lol: But tell me because it's hard to tell from the picture. Are they fenders or mud deflectors? :thinking:

The Texas State Troopers call them "fenders." "Mud deflectors" are those little flat rubber things on the aft end of the fenders that deflect mud. I don't have any.

But-- a set of fenders for $8 isn't bad! And I got a big plastic garbage can along with it!

The other day I found one of the real selling points. By accident, I SAT on my fender. Uh-oh, I thought! If it had been made of a light gage of metal, it would have bent. But the cheapo barrel-plastic fender didn't bend. It remembered its shape and went back to it!

Somebody ought to make a car out of this stuff! :)
