The Endcap is Done

I thought I was done day before yesterday, but wasn’t happy with the shape of the last panel.  Recut and refinished those two panels and put them up today.

Pam has her two teddy bears in her hand in that shot and that’s a definite sign that she’s ready to call it a day and head back to the boat.  The Tundra has a pretty decent sound system and she just loves to go back to the 60’s and listen to the Byrds on the trip back home.  Turn, Turn, Turn.

I’m happy with the way it looks and can’t wait (but I will) to see what it looks like with all the upper skins in place, polished aluminum in back and birch in the front.  Getting the aluminum back up is the next phase.  I have a new center piece still to be cut out and possibly some more stripping of old zolatone to do before the panels go up.

  1. Very nice! I think your endcaps give a distinct warmth to your Caravanner. I'm looking forward to seeing complete package with the aluminum too.

  2. Looks great. I'm going to polish mine but I think the birch looks stunning. It'd be very dull if we all did the same. Very nice work.
