Well now . . . . It’s February 2015 . . .
First day working on this damned thing... and
it almost got to follow in the footsteps of the
original – death by fire. The wood is shrinking
daily now have over 1/4” gaps in some places
and the wood is curling in this weather. Ran into
many obstacles on designing the frame. Spent
from 7:30am till 5pm trying to get an idea on
how things can work. We need to reinforce the
front better and be able to tie it in directly into
the frame rails and the whole way to the fifth
Mike Estrada preparing the wood for paint wheel. This thing isn’t a buggy . . . . this thing
April 12, 2015. weigh’s a ton . . . . and the fifth wheel is already at
300lbs without the axle or wheels. Oh by the way,
where are all the damn things . . . it’s March!!!.
