Thanks Earl & Kerry,

Have progressed since the photo was taken, the kitchenette is nearly completed & today I finished the interior, will start on the hatch lid tomorrow.
I will be towing the teardrop with my 1961 Ford Zephyr and will be painting to match it.

Where are you located?

Ian.

Beautiful tow vehicle! You should have a great looking set when the teardrop is completed!

How are going to finish the exterior? Aluminum, paint, other?

We live in Ft Worth Texas. I've been to Oz once, spent about 45 days in Newcastle back in 1995, when I was in the US Air Force, we had an exercise deployment to RAAF Williamstown.

Keep the pics coming!
