Last night was my first great escape in the Aluminum Falcon. The clinic was full of medical students and Autistic kids so I snuck out the back and hid in the nice warm trailer and had a subway pick nick on the floor

Looks great Dark! I have spent a few days camping in the Texas summer sun, wishing that Abby had a nice coat of Supertherm. You should be able to camp anywhere all summer and winter with your great insulating job.

Nice job! Really looks good.
I thought about extending the Super Therm onto the end caps and rounding the corners like you did. I decided to stop mine at the edge of the caps, keeping it on the "straight" (simple one-curve rather than the compound curves on the caps) panels on the roof.
The front cap on my Excella has significant hail damage and all three panels need replaced anyway. Maybe someday, but right now replacing the front cap isn't in the budget.

Thanks everybody! They are fantastic fans.
Used a rotating laser level to establish the curves on the endcaps so everything comes out the same height.
I like the black / white / silver look , too bad you can't see any of it from the ground

Are you going to add the beltline many have, or the one at the bottom of the aluminum panels? It better seals the joints between panels and breaks up the expanse of aluminum. You can put a silver or other color decal in it. Or, put the blue (or other color) decals used on trailers from time to time?

I think you should leave it all silver and call it "The Long Bean" (I guess I'm too close to Chicago--sorry)

Im with Becky.. no trim
I like the clean look.. no trim.. no badges.. no numbers
My plan is to do hinged polished covers for the wheel wells so you will see half the wheel and then polished moon hubcaps
Its gonna look like an elephant on roller skates

I'm having a hard time visualizing that. Will the trunk wrap around the rear bumper of a tow vehicle if you want to take a trip?

Should ask Andy to see who has built the tallest A/S.
An interesting skirt, plus clearance & tail light configuration
