All I can say is it's stunning. I like the windows in the front,bit I have a question, is the nose a little pointed? If it what I am envisioning you may have to start a company to build them. Man this is a beauty! Thanks for sharing with us.

Trailer looks great. The last trailer I would ever want to restore is a Silver Streak Clipper with alien eyes. As suggested in manufacturing those, I think there is still a patent holder on the SSC, and she is (or was) producing the Clipper. I also believe Thor Industries had sent a cease and desist letter to Silver Streak. Don’t know how it turned out. Good luck and send me one if you have extras.

Art is a beautiful thing.
That is so Nice. If you need glass for your project I can accommodate you with odd shapes and sizes. I am a professional glass artist. Although fine art is my specialty finding someone to may those shape will likely be difficult. Acrylic is much easier but scratches easy.

This is beyond cool! It is WAY WAY COOL!!! And gorgeous. I can't wait to see what you do with the interior. Or was your project challenge just to produce the Medieval-Knight's-Helmet look??
No matter: it's fantastic.

This is so awesome! So much cooler than my AS. I believe you could give Bowlus Road Chief a run for their money. Except I think yours is pointed the opposite direction.
Can't wait for more updates on your progress.

Wow! Absolutely incredible! I'm with Mollysdad -- I thought I was going to see a plywood box too. This is a piece of art!

WOW!
ARE YOU SINGLE?
(seriously)
At my age I am happy to be unattached and "sexy men" are any that still have a pulse, but DAMN what I would give for someone with your mad skills...
