Good job Len! I'm impressed (& don't many things impress me anymore :roll: ). One of my brothers has a 15' Sportsman that is beginning to need a 'rebuild'. I'm gonna show him your pix. Again good job, most excellent :thumbsup: :applause:

I'm impressed. Just one day, and lots of beer... Hmmm I'll have to try that sometime... NOT!

Len,

I never thought I would say this but; you should drink more often, you get a lot done that way. If I fill the fridge with beer will you come over to my garage? :lol:

Maybe that's why my build is taking so long... :lol:

I was wondering why the water balloon was getting bigger... and then it hit me.

Love the pictures. I am impressed with the progress. Great job..

One of my friends father has a mid 60's Scotty, I have been wanting to build one from the ground up, but the frame was the hang up. Your pictures add the missing pieces to my next project.

What type of exterior finish??

Once again, great job.

Thanks all for the kind words.

Although I have to admit, I did have a few, that was a shot of my recycling can. My son swept up the floor and mistakenly dumped the sweepings in the wrong can.

I'm not that much of a lush.:?

Thanks again.

Happy Trails

It all comes to a screachin halt!

After all the big progress I made last weekend, doing all the detail work this week shows little progress.

Built the front Cabinet, rear shelf, framed in the rear bed, cut all the doors and did all the 12V wiring.

Look at the warp in that original table.

Tomorrow the 110V stuff and the shop gets a good clean-up.

Really nice.

Cant wait to see how this one turns out.

Got all my 12V and 110V wiring done, insulated and got the exterior sheathing on.

Started on the siding.

The Devil is in the details.
