      Do to a sudden drop in finances,the prodject has been stalled. I have 
the frame cleaned and painted with Hammerite rust inhibbiter and sealant. All 
of the wood for the floors has been cut to size and treated with a sealant. ( 
I guess the extra time sitting around the garage will let the sealant 
(degause/degass?) so I don't have to worry about chemical smells) I've 
purchased the new flooring cleats and isulation for under the floor. However, 
since I'm down to the frame ,I've come to the conclusion that the time and 
money to clean and rebiuld the original axle , springs, ect. and make them 
look new and pretty would cost almost the same as a new up dated Henchion set 
up .....so I've decided to be patient and wait till I can put on the newer 
and in my opinion "safer" (no springs and shackels to break) Henchion axle. 
My SOB is for sale so I can raise the funds to buy the big buck items for my 
tin twinkie. In the mean time I've purchased some of the many small buck 
items that wiil be needed and have employed a little elbow grease here and 
there. Once the Henchion is purchased and installed, I will conduct a major 
bitzkreigh on the reassembly. I've done almost no camping or traveling this 
year because it's kinda hard to sell a trailer when you're always out camping 
in it. {{{>:o)>             later, Trike
