Will, at least one that will fit on my welding table  I build pull wagons for fun and have built a teardrop trailer for my Toyota Tacoma pull wagon, so I thought it would be fun to build a R Pod to pull around when camping with my R pod.  So far I have the frame and fenders done on the R Pod. It is 21" x 32"  |

Yeah based on the shiny little tear-drop with the cute little propane bottles (what the heck are those anyway?)....I'm ready to buy the quarter-scale r-pod sight unseen! It needs an open top and a couple of windows so my little dog can be all comfy inside as I pull it behind my motorcycle! Whoo hooo!  ------------- r･pod 171 gone but not forgotten! |

The propane bottles are the handle to open it.  |

I got the axle all welded up. The funny thing is when I welded it it pulled and had negative camber, I almost left it to be funny. I also started on the body, still need the side it.    |

It does look very good. Are you going to put windows & doors (even faux) on it? ------------- bp 2017 R-Pod 179 Hood River 2015 Ford F150 SuperCrew 4WD 3.5L Ecoboost |

The plan is to powder coat the frame black and the body white and then see if I can have decals made for the windows and the green with stripes.  I got the drop hitch built tonight.  |

LP tank in done, I am almost ready to powder coat everything. The bar off the tank is the latch, turn it 1/8 turn and the top opens. |

Picked up all the parts from powder coat and reassembled. Still need to get the graphics made and two cap nuts for the wheels.    |

Thank you. I am trying to find someone that can make a R Pod decal for the front and back that looks like this.  Today I will make a decal for the rear window.

That's quite a nice little Rpod. Most any sign shop should be able to make that decal.
