2TrickRick Started a new thread Building a "Mini" - Fun Mover/Toy Hauler Class C RV
10/27/2022 10:44am I did the unthinkable last year and sold my Box Truck I converted into a hualer.. 
Now I need another for Vintage Racing and after looking at what's on the market I'm going in another direction.

2TrickRick Started a new thread 1984 Yamaha YZ490 Barn find (rebuild)
9/30/2022 2:20pm Guess she was a Ice Racer out on Lake St Clair in the winter months. 
The tear down when fairly quick. 
She was sitting inside a old leanto next to a barn.. the lean-to roof collapsed, and she sat exposed to the elements for a few years. 
Found a old Pro Circuit Pipe under that paint and...

9/30/2022 2:20pm I bought them off a seller on ebay, 90% sure they are from Tawain at least that's what the shipping label said. I only rode the bike once, but they seem pretty good and a few other people I know who bought from the same seller are pretty happy.

9/19/2022 9:18am Made it home around 1:00am Sunday morning so after some sleep I was able to spend a few hours on the garage area. Stripped off as much off the stock panel and replaced some seriously damaged wood I found underneath. Ran to lowes and picked up 3 sheets of 4x8 FRP and 6 tubes of Loctite Heavy Duty glue for...

9/13/2022 10:52am Not much has happened in the "garage" area yet... it's basically been the garbage room for the front work. I did start to peel off the original panel/wallpaper . I'm leaving for a trade show tonight so no work till next week and no, not sure how I'm building the bike door just yet..:/

9/12/2022 12:10pm Spent the weekend working around the house, but I did have a few hours to spend on the "living space" area of the RRVEE... trimmed out the rest of the area and bathroom. Once again used as much of the old wood and accessories as I could so everything looks like it belongs.

9/9/2022 9:46am Trimmed out the final "living" area and used as much of the old matching wood as possible to keep everything looking factory

9/6/2022 8:58am Limited time this holiday weekend, but I was able to finish up the rear wall/door and trim it out. As with most everything in the RV lots of glue for added strength..

9/2/2022 2:41pm We did it on a buddy boat (bigger fly bridge) and it's been holding up for the past 3 seasons, but this is a cheaper material so maybe that will hurt it.. but if it comes apart, I'll redo it, it was only 75$

9/2/2022 8:50am Amazon peel and stick 3D tile on the kitchen counter wall. The wall was clean and primed before application and I really recommend this product! looks great and sticks like 3M on steroids. !

9/2/2022 8:47am definitely a concern and something I took into consideration when I started. The plus is the Fleetwood is a steel chassis and a little stronger than others (but its no box truck) I removed almost 500lbs so far off the back end and Im watching the weight of everything that goes back in, plus the RV came with air shocks...

9/1/2022 8:37am Not really sure on that.. Ramp style door off the side so I can re-use the old exterior wall, so everything matches. or Find or build a 36" door and screen and open up the existing entrance door.. Still lots of questions that need to be answered with this one..

9/1/2022 7:39am Keeping moving... I wasn't going to try and remove the old walls inside if they had no damage, but I sure wasnt going to keep the soft blue colors.. I used Zinsser B-I-N Primer/sealer to give the new peel and stick wallpaper something clean to adhere to, the wallpaper was a "inexpensive" Amazon prime find.. doing my best to stay...

8/31/2022 10:41am nothing wrong with a small cargo trailer, I used one at Vintage Days, But I like the idea of small and compact.

8/31/2022 10:34am Before I wrap it, I may just black tint all the windows just to see how it looks. I'm not against the plain white and have seen a few that looks pretty cool. It will be a "wait and see" decision

Great thread - just like your recent YZ490 thread. I'd vote for a basic wrap. Plain white does not look good with the windows, IMO.

8/31/2022 10:26am Once the floor was finished up I started on the couch area - The old couch was up on legs with a Gas Furnace, Water tanks and some other hardware under it. The new couch is a FlexSteel with no room under it, so I needed to make room - First Furnace was removed. I don't like the idea of...

8/31/2022 10:08am The floor was bought from Menards (on sale of course) - It seems to match the 90's "Oak" while giving the inside a updated look. Its Vinyl laminate flooring (snap lock) - I used silicone to hold it down with a couple finish nails in each board. These style floors are designed to "float" but I found if you allow...

8/31/2022 10:04am I used lots of loctite power grab! On the panel, trim.. anything and everything. I want to bind this into one large piece.
