Unique, I like unique. No reason to build a normal td, the next one will have a boat on top.

Primer is the word of the day, still some dark spots, will have to put on a second coat tomorrow. Yellow is a tough color to cover with.

For an interesting color effect you could fade in a little orange at the bottom ... very visible ..just crumbs for thought...

Being color challenged I have to ask. Won't that clash when it comes back to the trailer. :thinking: ignore me I have no idea. :? :R

Would look cool, but when is the last time you seen a two toned jelly bean?

To do that the frame would have to be orange, or do the front yellow and fade to orange on the back. Either way it is well beyond my painting skill.

Thanks ladies. It seams I make progress, then blam a wind advisory till 10pm with 50 mph gusts. So today one piece of insulation, finished the primer this morning, and put down the stabilizers so the wind would not blow my trailer away. I did some more work on my subaru, the trailer wiring is almost complete (need to hook up a ground wire, and the trigger wire for the charging system. wires run, just need to hook them up). I ran out of light (4:30 sundown sucks).

Dell,

Didn't anyone tell you that it's impossible to build a teardrop like that?!? I just hate it when people do the impossible! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Great work!
