The weather is really starting to cramp our style. But, soldier A did get a little bit done today.
With the makeshift Jed Clampett rain cover he was able to pull off the brick molding on the back door and make something we can glass in. The common mindset around the motor pool is, the more we can seal up with the West System epoxy, the better.
So, we are glassing the door frame in.
He ran a soft 45 on the outside and a 3/8's round over one the inside edge. He also started planning the porch cover and handrail. And it's get big girl tires weekend!
Went down to see our friends at PFS to move the muffler and get the tire crane out of the way, so we can get on with the cab over build.
R has a bad ass crew and the new exhaust is raging loud!
Tried really hard to wrap up the rear end today, but Soldier A is just so anal!
Got the passenger side rear column done after arguing about a 16th of an inch for an hour. We are now ready to put the door in, but have to go to the truck doctor Friday and move the muffler for the pass through and cab over build.
Inventory is really starting to suffer so it's time to tie some more knots!
Had to make a fairing board today. So, soldier A pirated some parts from an old drywall sander and went to work. First was the board itself and install of the hardware to hold sanding belts cut in half in place. Then ridged back to keep things true and straight as well as offering up good grip. So, he used a saw handle as a template. Came out really nice and works very well.

What a fun little festival we did today. The Red Hat Days crew was sooo much fun! Tiffany becomes more of an attraction each time we get more done. With the back deck usable now and the door in, people are actually starting to visualize the RV plans. Bottom line, she is just a big bitch and the kids love her!
On a different subject, we have located the big girl tires and with luck we will be going to get them next weekend.
Besides inventory production, today was all about finishing the patio supports as well as getting the door in. Well, we did it!
Reclaimed parts and a total success! The supports are concrete solid and fairly easy to use. Now we have to engineer a hand
So yesterday was a bit of trial and error, but today Soldier A started making headway again. Our intentions have always been to turn Tiffany's tailgate into a mini porch, if you will. Something to stand on when entering the rear door of the RV box. Keeping safety in mind as this girl is really tall.
