Update #5
Well here it is, stripped down!
. . . and the best part is it's in the garage, and my wife's new van is in the driveway! Both of my toys are now in the garage!
I call this picture "sunlight!" Hopefully, when I wake up in this I won't see this much light after it's all put back together!
Here's what the door looks like when it's laying on the ground! Everything is in a pile now and will be worked on, piece by piece!
Here are parts, e-r-r-r-r, I mean patterns, stacked on the cement.
. . .and these are the windows sitting on top of the aluminum skin that used to cover the Teardrop!
Here we go! New plywood for the floor, installed. Reconstruction begins!
Son-in-law, Dan, cutting the new sides. Next step is getting the aluminum and using these sides as a pattern.
