Great pics Brian ! I'll be looking forward to seeing the
'completed' pics once you get to that stage. You'll be
towing a perpetual conversation starter now on your
trips ! [As if your tow vehicle wouldn't be enough of one !]

Cheers,

Thanks MC & Sharon
Yes the counter tops ride in the vertical position behind the coolers. And the removable table top (Aluminum) sits above the stove and the drawer on two pins and holds both stove and drawer from sliding back. There are two vertical pins that stand between the coolers and the canisters that hold the table mount and the outer table leg that swivel out to allow the table to be set up on eihter side.
The table is designed to hold the two burner coleman plus a one burner tenting coleman, thus we have a chioce of a one , two, or three burner stove depending upon our needs.
I will include pictures upon completion.
Project has been fun to design & build!

Sorry Sharon
Miss Piggy has a 1951 Studebaker nose cone. (the 51 nose is made up of 4 pieces as opposed to the 2 piece all chrome nose used on the 1950 models.)
I will be bolting it on tonight.

When people are viewing and they click on your pic it enlarges for them.
You can go back to your post and it does the same thing.

By putting a CR (carriage return) or a space between each "Image" they will go in vertical position instead of horizontal...

Most of what you see displayed is caused how your "text/command/addresses" are entered into message and how browser interprets them... IF you will click on "reply with quote" (for this message)and then do nothing but study how the message and pic url addresses are formatted in text you will see how the magic happens...

Cheers!

The operating system (XP, VISTA, WIN 7, WIN 8) should NOT have effect on how the forum and pictures are displayed, it is specifically MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER BROWSER which is problem.... And its on going because MS seems to have their own concept how HTML (Hyper Text Markup language) should be displayed... Suggest you get different browser like Mozilla Firefox (the best), or Opera, or Apple Safari or Google CHROME.... HTML is a internet standard and MS does not seem to recognize it and how to display it.... Its another case where MS does not quite get it and independent programming does....

With Microsoft you pay for their problem software, and you can get stuff the works well for FREE if you venture outside Microsoft IE realm..

http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1531
http://www.opera.com/download/
https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/

I went to NETSCAPE years ago because I never liked IE, Netscape has now morphed into MOZILLA FIREFOX, but I have never looked back except to see that IE is still not quite right.....

Brian, I finally understand!!! I never could quite figure out what Miss Piggy was going to look like, but a picture is worth a million words! I love the galley--everything has its place, and everything is in it's place. Wonderful!!!

And the finish shows how much preparation you did to make it so smooth.

Can't wait to see the cabin.

Thanks Verna
Yes I pretty much used every square inch of usable space in the Galley.
We have two rubber maid toates that fit, one on each side between the shore line and the cooler on the right and above the battery on the left.
I had hopes of Sandi spending the day in the shop with me today to help installing the upholstry panels and the windlace so we can put the headliner in?????
But....she is going shopping!!!
Then I can post up some pictures of the interior.
The cabin has "all" of the creature features! With lots of storage. Still room for the Queen size bed.
I can't wait to see it with the curtains, bedspread (quilt) and all the rest of the cuddly accessories she has made.
After which we will put the doors on.........and it will be finished at last.

The lesson I have learned here, and have tried to pass on to newbies. Is "to allow twice as much time for your build as you think you need" or you will miss out on your first camping season like we did.
Oh, and "WAY" more money too! :cry:
