    The thing that doesn't make sense to me with the teardrop design is the wasted space particularly in the back. I know it makes for better aerodynamics but is it really worth the gas saved?

    I have the originals from the 1947 popular mechanics and a set of modern CAD drawings if someones interested.

    Mine are from the 50's or 60's from one of those types of magazines.
    My pop used to order all types of prints of sail boats, lawn furniture
    and all types of misc. stuff. And never built any of it. :rofl:

    I know we discussed this not too long ago. As a matter of fact, there was a website that showed you how to build it with step by step photos. I'll look for it...

    mb82 I feel great!

    had the website till my harddrive decided that it hates me :( I still would like one but I decided that this is not the time in my life to build one.

    There are more than 25-30 websites that show the full construction, I have saved a few in my links page for later construction if anybody wants the link, just yell!!

    2+2 is still too close for comfort IMHO. I'd be happy with tossing the kids a tent...;)

    I like teardrops...but realistically it's too big a project to take on right now, and I'm not going to spend the $ to buy one.

    I am kicking around looking for a sheep M416 to purpose-build for camping tho...
