Plan to add embellishments to fit the theme of this build. I can start adding some of the details. The 5th wheel hitch (imagineered) is about ready for the trailer to evolve.

?? Don't know, Dog. I just mix it so it goes thru the airbtush easily. I have my big compressors regulater set at 40 lbs. I have an inline one inside with no dial that I adjust to whatever seems to work the bast. I try to keep the paint on the thin side to cut down on heavy orange peel, So, usually take a second or, sometimes 3rd, coat after an initial slight drying.

I let it get too busy on the doors. Probably should have went to Sunday School instead !

The cab windows are in, and the interior is about ready to be installed. As soon as I get back out there )

I'll get finish fotos when I finish the trailer. Here are the component parts. Don't plan on glueing them together. they'll just fit together.

Workin' on the trailer. These ramps were mostly ignored and out of the garage pictures, So, I decided to hack them up for the trailer. A little too short to be practicable, but practicality and the laws of physics are generally ignored by me when modeling.

Sewer view of the underside in progress. Front stands are hinged.

Rolled up canvas sides _ paper towel around a shiskabab (?) skewer.

First - The trailer.

Secondly - The Cabover.

Now that the photobucket noon rush is over, I can continue with the post. All will be made clear.
Now that the trailer is at the shop, let's get the cabover.
