She is looking so nice. You've done a beautiful job.
When are you starting the Safari?

Truly beautiful craftsmanship, Robin. I am envious of your woodworking skills. Do you think you could teach them to a motorhead? VERY, VERY, nice!

I agree with others -- so very nice! Hard to believe we started ours about the same time, yet you are done. Hopefully this summer we'll see some improvement on ours.
You have incorporated some very nice items in yours, one being the bed.
Very well done!

Thanks Hank. Yours looks way nice. I never had time to read Blogs , but now that I have a break I took time to look at your Cloud coverage. GREAT.

Robin, not to hijack your thread, but I, too, enjoyed reading Hank's blog, and was especially impressed with how well he removed the dent in his skins. I read that he purchased the rollers "through the AirForums", and was wondering (if Hank wouldn't mind sharing) if that was through an individual who had some for sale, or if he purchased them through a vendor on here.
On our Bubble, we have a couple of places which we need to work out.
Thanks.
Deb

It is Spring in Texas
I thought I was in the clear. Just got in from an emergency hide the Airstream action. Thunderstorm with large hail popped up and is on us now. I had to run down to the Red Barn and get three old cars and five Airstreams moved to cover. All done, but the Safari got stuck in the Hay Barn. Hope I don't have mice tomorrow morning. Heck! Around here I hope I have a barn in the morning.

Great thread, lots of detail and ideas for our '56.
Thanks for taking the time to share and post. we've started on our rig, still laying out the interior as it was stripped when we got it. (hay barn for goats). Looking at the Basecamp as a functional layout with a touch of the early '50s "camper".
Again thanks, and still not confirmed for another run to ABQ for the VTA-

finish ups
I am putting a 12 inch strip of warm LED lights into each overhead cabinet. The control switch is exposed when you slide the cabinet door open.
One of the best items I have come up with is the threshold stainless trip cover. It is functional and look good. I put in Bub first and it looked so good I made another one for Babs.

other work
I guess I should have shown the threshold installed.
Anyway, I wanted color...lots of color inside. I hate those bland new interiors. Well, those with those interiors will hate my colors too....I got kidded a lot about my day of the dead Halloween curtains...

Good looking work you're doing there.
Nice shear! Is that yours! You must have a break as well.
