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...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...
