    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...

    Body/Fairing Work - Interior - Continued.... again! I promise, this is the last interior body work post, EVER 🤪. The cab over area. Nothing like sanding on your hands and knees all cramped up. It does a sweet little number on the lower back. Head board cabinets. These things took the most...

    Body/Fairing Work - Interior - Continued.... Let's move to the cabinets next. I know most people don't want to see this many pictures of body work, but I have to show something for months of work. Plus, this is all I have to contribute to the build thread, so here we go.... Drivers side...

    Body/Fairing Work - Interior Where has everybody been?????? I'm feeling abandoned over here :cry:😆! You know......, you can't leave somebody on the Portal alone for too long while they are in the trenches of a comprehensive build. They may cross over to the dark side and never come back ;)😁...

    Hey bouguer! I'm not sure of the detailed production method related to his habitat box/camper, so I can't be of any help.

    Sometimes I gotta put Wild's in a headlock and force him to give me the non-published (behind the scenes) photos of his build :ROFLMAO:.

    Hey ITTOG, Thanks for your comments and question. Yes, that was part of the initial round of trying to match the front fenders exactly/as close as I could. Increasing the width of the back fenders any more than 1-1/4" to 1-1/2"s looked super funky as they: overhung the back tires too much...

    Carbon Fiber Rear Fenders for Camper - Shaping Core Material I was originally going to try and make the rear fenders match the front baja fenders exactly-ish, but they just looked weird, like caca poopy :poop:. I decided to incorporate some of the basic design elements off of the front baja...

    Carbon Fiber Fairing/Skirt for Camper - Passenger Side Rear - Dry Fitting It's crazy how close/even the bottom edge of the step box is with the meeting point in the contour of the fairing/factory rocker panel contour and the top edge of the electric steps is with the point/location it...
