Just a couple photos today. I finished polishing the two front panels. I ran wires for the two front reading lights. Those are the first two where the wires are going to the interior, to the final location. I had to make cutouts in the insulation for the wires. Here we are with the wires in andthe insulation on (minus a few feet of aluminum tape. I had run out. After this photo I got more).
Again I had some final tweaks to do. Planed a bit off the wood pieces around the windows. Had to drill four new holes on between the two panels on the right. A little push here and a little push there, and the front panels and window are on.
Those aren’t glass. They use polycarbonate with anti-scratch coating. The white is the covering on the polycarbonate. I’ll take that off when all the work is done. There are aluminum awnings over the front windows, but I’ve only polished one of those. Also I’m almost out of screws. After I polish the other awning and the screws come in I’ll reinstall both. I’ve used something like 500 screws so far. I have a couple hundred around and four hundred more on order. There is some damage on the front, and one place where the skin is torn through. I plan to put another layer on the very front, to cover these and to add some protection. It’s easier, cheaper, and faster to replace a strip across the front rather than the entire panel.
Now I’m working getting the trailer on supports stable enough that I can safely work under it (that part’s fairly easy), and where I can separate the frame from the body (not so easy).
