Recently pulled this old girl out of the woods at a relatives house. It is my first frame off restoration ever. Super stoked. So far I have the skins off and tore down to just the frame. New suspension, rust removed primed and painted. I’m ready to start putting the floor down but I’m lost as far as the skirting goes. Is the front and back beveled? If So to what degree? Can you guys provide me as many photos you have of your process? Highly appreciated! I have searched numerous hours on here and I just can’t find anything.

Hello and Welcome!

Thanks for making the effort to research. I know how it is when you are trying to find the best search parameters. One way to search is to do a Google search typing in a few words and then search the images that come up. Once you see an image you think might be helpful back track by following the link. In this case, I typed into the search bar on the Google Browser "shasta compact skins off". I also recommend using 1 or 2 other internet browsers. Different stuff comes up.

Photos are always welcome and helpful. Here is a link on how to post them to the forum. vintagetrailertalk.freeforums.net/thread/7276/add-photos-hosted-flickr-tutoria

Here are some threads that might help you. The first is for a '66 - same model different year. The others show pix of an different model, but the discussions on framing are very good.
