...getting the title was a big enough accomplishment for this week for me. Excellent news. In North Carolina getting a title is torture. I think it’s easier to restore the camper than get a new title for it.

Thrilled to have finally sent off the stove parts and sink for porcelain at IDE. Scouted out material for the RV fridge front panels which will be powder coated to match as closely as possible. The sheet of yellow cracked ice arrived and I have to be honest. I'm disappointed. It is a cheap imitation of the 50's version, not much better than the "sticker" that was used on the Corvette originally. It has no depth or sheen like the original. When I get it in better light tomorrow I'll compare and decide if I want to keep it. I may start looking for an old table again. Purchased vinyl for Frankie and rec'd marmoleum samples. The pattern fabric is for the dinette and gaucho, planning on using vinyl on the the other side. I would be interested in hearing opinions about the flooring sample colors?

CorvettCrzy, I like the bottom aqua ---.
Latex paint, over oil based paint, over who knows what. This is after 3 coats of Jasco! I'll be happy to be done with paint remover.

I like the Citrus Strip much better than anything else out there. With time and a little experimenting I found that if left on over night it works much better. I really cake it on there too.

What did you do to your trailer today?.......
Well, I busted my shin on the Shasta's tongue last Friday night in the dark while I was down at the barn getting some used tires out to give to the PO of the '67 Compact,..... does that count?

Stopped at the metal shop to pick up some aluminum for my fridge door, realized that I had never asked them where I could get metal bent for skin............... they had no idea, further more they asked me what a Pittsburg seam was?*!?
Got the aluminum and they even cut it to size for me, $25.
Looking for the "h" frame for my storage door, so far no place local.

Well, I busted my shin on the Shasta's hitch last Friday night in the dark while I was down at the barn getting some used tires out to give to the PO of the '67 Compact,..... does that count? Did ya kick it? That would count. My Shasta has extra medal on the front that sticks out well past the sides. I think there’s more skin on it than my shin! Lol

Getting the wrap on the 47 Mainline Silver Lodger. Been having problems posting photos today for some reason. Hope this works. I know the links do if nothing else. Click on the links below for photos... www.cannedhamtrailers.com/forum/wrap3.JPGLady Wendolyn was nice enough to send me the tools and material I needed for button tufting my buttons back down where they should be on the goucho. Many had come loose. Photo is the last one. Thanks Wendy!

Getting the wrap on the 47 Mainline Silver Lodger. I tried to link your photos. Something went wrong even the back up way.

The Mainline looks really great. Strange framing. I love the couch.

I ran the wires for the electric brakes. Tonight I will put the wheel wells back on and finish installing the new curbing. I need to show you all some pictures. The cleaned the frame and painted it with POR15, rebuilt the drums and installed new bearings, took the springs apart and cleaned and installed new ubolts, installed new shackles, cut doug fir for the new floor joists painted with Tractor Supply fence paint and bolted them on. After the wheelwells and curbing are on I will fab the new floor and paint the underside with the fence paint and install. I have the new walls made already and I will probably be bolting them on next week. I will be bracing them to the ceiling joists while I build the cabinets. I have made incredible progress this winter tp the point my wife says I am addicted to working on it.

There is something wrong with this Pro-Board. I have no way of knowing what the problem is and no way of fixing it from the outside. My links work everywhere else on the internet. I don't know if my other older posted photos on the board are working or not.

Let me try linking your photo another way by copying the image location:
It shows in the preview. Now I'll try to post...

It shows on my screen when I posted it but when I came back and refreshed the image was gone.
I send a PM to Nomad (tech expert) and cc'd you.

I'm seeing all the pics, both here and on Larry's test. Is there something I'm missing, or NOT missing?

Today I cleaned the last of the paint off my jrail. It took unreasonably long.
Also, my latest ebay score arrived. I bid on a Bargman tail light and got it for $21. The glass alone is worth more. Then cleaned it using the tin foil & vinegar system.
As it arrived:
After cleaning:
I added a new pigtail for the light.
