HI Bryan, I finally had time to read through your entire restoration thread in one sitting. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the thread. You came up with some resourceful “fixes”. You have done an outstanding job. Very Very Nice! I had some questions. I noticed you added some wood to the area just above the wheel well cut outs and then also under the windows near the bottom of the front wall. What gave you the inspiration to do this? Before - Entire curbside wall After - wood over wheel well cut out After - added horizontal wood lower curbside wall The image below was taken at a different time. At the bottom of the wall studs, It looks like you anchored the wall, stud, but you didn't use pocket holes. What is the wall stud anchored into? In the image above, it looks like you hadn't finished the base of the walls studs, because I see no screw holes in the base of the wall studs. Cheers, Rod

Thank you for the kind words. So, to the questions. I added wood in areas that to me appeared to need extra strength, such as above the new fender well wood. The extra horizontal wood on the dinette wall is where the interior dinette seat frame anchors, from the inside. Shasta just screwed it to the 1/8" plywood. At the base of the stud walls, no pocket screw was needed since you are able to screw right into the original perimeter wood on the frame. Blow the picture up and you will see the screw heads. Great questions, thanks

Yep, on the bank of the Chena River east of Fairbanks. Very peaceful and beautiful.

Hey Bryan, Nice to see things coming together. Looking great! How did you join your corners on the door? I noticed the door frame had that piece of aluminum that looks like a kick plate. Since the rot monster found a good home in the original door behind it, did you ever consider cutting the that part of the door frame away to reduce the chances that it happen again? Rod
