Appears the MDF plywood we saw in earlier pictures is just to protect the plywood while under construction. About 2 months to go and all is on schedule.

    As of today everything is still on schedule as layer out for us in October. This is amazing that a coach schedule can have such precision. All is a go for July 7 for the delivery! These are my latest progress pictures.

That would be great, you all can do the quality check out on it. Make sure it's spot on while they still have time to fix it. Lol

That will certainly be one people will stare at and dream about as it goes down the road. You may need really big exterior side rub strips, as folks won't pay attention to their driving and be running into the sides!

That's really sharp.
