There was a hopeful plan where we wrapped up the major elements of the build in 11 days. Just a few days into this full-on build we realized it to be too ambitious. More than the physical challenges, it was the mental wear and tear that brought me down. Each step at this stage generally requires learning a new building technique, then applying it to some critical component of the build where there is no going back. It just about broke my brain.
So, we are taking a methodological approach, and hope to get the Betty Mobile road-ready by the first week in October.
We did a dry fit of the inner roof skin and bed platform. 
Getting an idea of what the inside will be like once all the pieces are in place. 
Something didn’t quite work with the CNC routing for the galley hatch ribs, so I had to make them from scratch. 
The typical view of the shop table. 
The weather has been great, so we took the Betty Mobile on her first trip out of the garage – about 20 feet! 
Dry fitting the galley hatch. Turns out the struts we bought to lift and hold the hatch won’t work. I guess that’s what dry-fitting is for.
Such wisdom to back off the schedule and give yourself more time less pressure. I love the test drive. What you have done is gorgeous.
Great photos, great commentary, greater effort, and my good feeling you are getting dog gone darn close. Well done.
As for me, maybe 8 or so more tours and the season, Halleluiah!! is over and done with. This morning off to hike up and around Beaver Lake. Aloha, safe travels.
The Betty Mobile looks so tidy and small!!! She’s a beaut!
That trailer looks really pretty. Nice design work! I can just picture her cruising down Route 66.
