Latest Work

Airstream Design with SketchUp - Is a series of 43 10 minute instructions on the design for Restoration or Renovation of classic Airstream trailers. I'm working on the second restoration of an Airstream trailer. SketchUp has been very import in the planning of these restorations. Several members of the AirForums site had asked questions about the use of SketchUp. So I decided to create these lessons as a guide. Most tutorials I've found on YouTube are very good. However I have not found a complete group of instructions on how to follow through an entire project. So I've created this project on Don's Studio.

My 68 Ford Pickup

This is my 68 Pickup that I have made many changes to. It has The engine, wiring harness, computer and electronics, 33 gallon gas tank, dash gauges, bucket seats, center consul, from a 1993 big Bronco. I've also added power steering from a 250 pickup. The cab has been completely sound proofed, carpets have been added. The truck originally had a straight six which got 11 miles to the gallon at 55mph. With the 5.2 engine and its modifications it gets 22 mph.

Beginning Textures

This is the beginning work on texturing the Peters DeWitt building. The decorative Stone arches require a 3d surface. This is done with a SketchUp plug in. This building is made of local brick and sandstone. This also includes beginning experiments on the colors.
