Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

The PO bought the shell model and built out the interior. Some laminated MDF that is only 1/2" and pretty light. I redid a portion of it with 1/2" Baltic birch and some Home Depot 1/2" birch to fit the fridge and water containers. I'm torn between re-doing some of the cabinets and ripping everything out and starting fresh. The long bench and opposing high cabinet setup was way more versatile in the Flippac. Maybe this winter.

I used about 2-1/2 sheets of 4'x8'x1/2" birch in the Flippac for everything, so the weight savings of composites wasn't worth the cost IMO. Plus working with that stuff is beyond my skill level.

Edit: FWC stopped using MDF/ particle board in the late 80's/ early 90's IIRC.

 

Composites isn't that difficult, the difference is the vacuum process. If you can make kydex holsters, you can make carbon fiber. My friend showed me the whole process to make carbon fiber wings, it's pretty interesting. It's kinda like our driveshafts. You can use corrugated cardboard on the inside to support a sheet of 1/2" thick carbon fiber with several millimeter thick formed carbon fiber. The biggest expense is time and making everything custom. But dood, imagine the build thread.

 

Nice, Around what time will you be in Merced? I'll be there around 9am till about 1.

 

Someone doesn't understand I have to get ready for work.

 

That is rad Peter, Time to camp!!

 

Holy balls its already gonna be one of those days. Baby wakes me up at 6 AM, I hang out for a little bit with him while I hear the wife puttering around, I get up while shes changing him only to find out she slept like shit and I get snapped at imediately. Weeeeeeelllllp, fuck that Im going back to sleep. Thats what I get for trying to be nice a 630AM

 

Lol!!! Smile bro cuz it only gets worst! Wait till you have kid #2 or #3.

 

Haha yeah, she was just talking about how its almost time to start for #2. I am smiling, I just smiled and said "oki doki, back to bed" and now I'm just sitting here listening to her grump around downstairs. Might have to make an emergency Starbucks run

That works, I'll be at the airport anyways so that won't be far.

 

Omgaaaahhhhhd

 

When the first is as awesome as Izzy, no need to try for another!

 

That's what I see every morning... Although I'm always the first one up because of work. I get up, take the dog out and then get ready to go to the office and the entire time the dog looks at me like that. A year and he still has a glimmer of hope that I'll be like "Fuck work lets go for a walk!"
If only... Much rather hang with him for the day. I have a great job but an entire day with my bud? No competition.

 

She got lucky today, i saw traffic sucked so i tossed a few until she didnt care anymore.
