The Dinette Table

Putting the metal band back on after the new laminate is installed.
This is the same laminate that was used to make the upper cabinet slider doors.
Close up, and truest representation of the color (on my monitor anyway).

Box Specs.

More box specs...

Being installed. 

Another view - you can see the rich walnut color best here.
My camera flash was weak on the others, making the floor look darker.

The foam backing also works as construction floor protector.
More photos to come when the trim is done...

The Shasta Light Fixtures

The Dinette Light
Very cool, very thick - textured, "nubby" vintage glass.
Another view.  Gas light to be hooked up still above at the center stile between the two slider doors.

Kitchen Cabinets - Before and After

Kitchen Cabinets - Before
Kitchen - During
Close up of the original Formica on the kitchen counter.
It is not perfect, but it is too cool to scrap, so it will be staying.
Upper cabinets reinstalled after the new ceiling wood was installed.
Another view, after shellac at ceiling and end cap by range.

Tires, Underside, Roof, Close Up of Paint and Entry Door

The tire are in excellent condition.
The undercarriage, looking towards the front.
The undercarriage - front street side looking toward the rear.
The roof - hard to see in the picture.
Close up of Paint - Not perfect
Close up of door locks - New Deadbolt, Original Bargman Door Handle has been refurbished.
Picture also shows the repairs made by the prior owner.
Not the prettiest door in the world, but it functions perfectly and is weather tight.
