Oh :poop: rruff; exhaustion is a great word to describe some of the detailed process/work I've been buried in. I'm still plugging away, inch by inch.
Once the composite and body work are 100% finished, it is going to feel like I'm on a vacation when completing the much smaller projects. Not to...
Thanks ITTOG. It was a slog 🙂.
I made two general commitments to myself when I had to move from a composite kit box to building one by hand on my own. 1. Make the entire habitat box/camper out of carbon fiber, including most of the interior and 2. Make sure the finish looks like it came out of...
