Hey, its Tuesday May 15, see if it does ANYTHING??? In April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in protest of gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped...
Big oil doesn't care about this. They know you're gonna still buy the same amount of gas, just on a different day. The only way it would work is if instead...
People need gas and fill up the next day so it wouldn't make much of a difference. But what would work is not filling up at a brand for a whole month and than...
Hi Duane, Glad to see your'e keeping the spamers off the site. Sorry to see so few post on the site though. I have stopped my summer wandering here in MO. I'm...
Well, about a year ago I was looking at different inexpensive ways to coat my weekender, and was asking a lot of questions. I decided on sanding the ply,...

Glad your here. If you're looking for gatherings, check over at the Tearjerkers group. Post some pics of your progress. I built mine last year and still have...

Hi everyone, I've finally made a decision. I'm giving up the seditary life of campgeround guard/ night watchman, and heading out on the road again. I'll be...

I hope everybody's getting some teardrop time in this holiday. I just added stripes to my Weekender. What do ya'll think? http://tinyurl.com/ywayka Duane ...
I really like the stripes, the stripes tend to give your teardrop curves and take your eyes away from the square and exact perfect angles. What a great idea...
The Mouse House is coming along. All the interior skin is in and almost ready for finish fabric. The wiring is run and the lights are ready to go in. Check...
Hello Gang, I may be the very first person ever to build a "Rag-Top" Teardrop. When folded down it measures 42 inches high... pulls like a dream 75mph.. When...
Jerry, Welcome to the group. There was a ragtop years ago. Popular Mechanics had an article for one. I believe it was call the RunLight. The cloth was really...
Thanks, I didn't even think about the curved lines and the straight edges. I just liked the look of some curves. I used a pencil in a string to get the...
Thanks, I think it needed something more then a white box. If you want to try it, print a few pics out of your own, then draw in some graphics. You can also...

That's really cool. I don't think I've ever seen one like that. I've seen a few that the top is curved already and then raises up to give head room for...
I can tell you this.... I always draw a crowd in the campground when I start to put it up. For the first 45 minutes I usually give tours to the locals once I...
That's just the nature of any TD. They draw a crowd. I can't go anywhere with mine without giving tours & telling all about it. At least yours doesn't...

Today was a big day for the Mouse House. Got the hatch lid skinned (not the final metal skin) and did a test fitting. Feel as if it's really gonna' happen!...
You do good work Bud.... Your project is really looking good. I hope to do a "full up" teardrop this winter instead of my "rag -top". I am affraid of that...
Thank you for your encouragement, Jerry. I'm having a difficult time with the hatch. I lost some of the curve when I skinned it, but hopefully I can...
Thanks.... those panels look great. I have for a long time thought maybe the perfect hatch might be more like a roll-top desk type. I have drawings that...
Does anyone know any tricks, or important tips, for installing the roof edging? George, at Teardrop and Vintage Parts, assured me that the edging will bend...
I believe the edging he sells is already annealed so that shouldn't be a problem. Ask if he can send you a small sample, then you can check it out . You'll ...
