Inside Pics?

Oh why not.....really, I was sure I would be done by Labor Day, but the water heater was ruptured and the toilet was cracked, the Plumbing leaked many places and the mere fact that I have been without work since January made progress slow. I am waiting on the replacement toilet....and If I can find enough work ......found a nice 4 gallon mini tank Bosch Water Heater for 169 brand new......maybe next week? Then I will still need new marine batteries and inverter.....another 300 bux along with a couple...

Almost done....

Posted 09-18-2009 at 10:50 PM by Canuder9
The Plumbing was much more difficult than i imagined. The One Piece Brass Black/Greywater Valve and Manifold were destroyed. Not made any more....even the valve itself had bolt pattern not matched anymore. I got a piece of .5" Aluminum block, machined it as an adapter and made my own manifold. I called it the "Poop King, LX-2009" ....just for fun.

IT WORKS!

Will post pics of my Poop King!

61 Tradewinds: Progress Report

Posted 07-11-2009 at 10:44 AM by Canuder9
Floor and parts of the sub-floor are replaced, one beam under the black water tank was rusted badly and is being sistered up (with an aluminum angle beam) after cleaning the rust off and covering it to prevent any MORE rust. Some Plumbing remains to be done.

My Design Inspiration comes from the Airstream "International CCD Series".

Interior is coming along, new fridge is in and I am building new wall and cabinets around the new larger fridge and microwave to...

1961 Tradewinds Land Yacht

Posted 06-14-2009 at 10:39 PM by Canuder9
Bought it off ebay 2 weeks ago, drove 600 miles to get it out of a field...got enough air in the tires to tow it to the nearest tire store. While the folks put new tires on I disassembled the bearings and was pleasantly surprised...old grease wasn't even caked. Cleaned em and re assembled, headed to the nearest town, transferred title and got some electrical parts...all the lights worked in short order so I drove the 600 miles back the same day. All together 23:30 from Johnson City TN to near State...
