Looking mighty fine, Ken. KOA? Which one?
Congratulations, dear friend! Finally got it out of the barn! The fact that nothing fell off is largely due to your great work!

Thanks - it was at the KOA in Albuquerque - ummm a mere 15 miles from my house - but I did "take it for a ride" on Sunday for a bit and everything I started out with was still there when I got home - even took if over some rough highway - some things got bounced around a bit - but otherwise towed great. Next big trip is the Crane Festival in Nov - that will be a much longer trip.

Yours looks awesome. Nice polish job and interior. I depart Wed pm to go get ours in Michigan... going from NY, through Canada, into Michigan and back via Ohio (maybe hit the factory) and back into PA and NY.

Ken, that's gorgeous. All the hard work is really paying off. Good job!

I actually saw Ken's trailer this last summer, while returning from Texas to home. It is indeed a litle jewel of a trailer. Ken's wood work is impeccable. the cabinetry and fittings all look very authentic. Ken has also collected period accessories. Very cool!

Absolutely stunning Ken. Glad to see it take shape and you're able to put it to good use. I'll get in line at the 4CU rally in February for a tour. You charging admission?

I like your cabinets. Well done!

Thank you for all the kind words - my inspiration came from Brad and Uwe - when I saw what Brad did to his interior, I wanted a similar look - then when I saw what Uwe did (and not to mention a lot of his help) with his 63, it moved me to keep going

Uwe - I can tell you when I first put my eyes on this trailer, it was far from being a jewel - there have been many times I've thought of it as a real junker - especially when I see trailers like yours - now thats a jewel!

As a side note - those of you thinking about doing this, should - I have no special skills or experience with this stuff - I'm an accountant - so if I can do this anyone can - all it takes is a boat load of patience.
