    Great job Brian and Kim! You nailed it, right down to the ****-ugly 1950's floor. :D

    I redeemed myself for the major layout malfunction yesterday on the tongue cover. I'd laid out all the marks to break up the polished diamond plate sheet for the cover, took it to my buddies shop and used his 8' brake to bend up the piece, and didn't realize to I got home I picked the wrong marks. It's hard to explain, but suffice it to say it was a major mistake.

    Happily, I had another piece of aluminum diamond plate, this one with "Non-Skid" knurling on the diamonds, and we (barely) were able to brake this one up correctly. I really CAN read a tape measure!

    We also had some celebrity company today, thier "Wazless" will be featured on and upcoming episode of "Extreme RV". Just click on the link to see this really cool RV.

    Well, we're almost done. I've got Tuesday off to get the little stuff done, but I'm not working on it any more after that...

    See all the latest at "Cool McCool's Garage", and why it's now called "...the damn trailer..." by following the link below.

    I got here late. But looks like everything turned out great. Hope you have many more fun campouts with the lil trailer and the wagon.

    Nice. But the anti-theft, stealth paint job needs some color to match the wagon. And nicer wheels! LOL. Congrats. Gary

    LOL, yes, it needs something doesn't it? I was just glad to have it useable, now I can decide what to do make it "pop" a little. Maybe some faux wood grain?

    The Diamond T is next up, and the T'Bird is right behind. I need to sell something to pay off the credit card bills, so the 'Bird might be on the block when it's done.

    I'd say a matching wood grain panel would be PERFECT!

    Hello, I just subscribed to this forum because I am looking for information on a Tini-Home trailer I've had sitting in my yard for a few years. Got it on a trade and thought I'd sell it to the right buyer. It's in rough shape, but ought to be fun to fix up. Wish I had the time!

    Wow. I'd forgotten I'd done a build thread on this! Just to update, I added some graphics to break up the bland, silver panels, which really made a difference, and added '51 Pontiac hubcaps to the wheels. So, it's "done". We'll have it at Autorama in March with the Diamond T, so stop by and say "Hi"!
