Hi, I have a 1958 Santa Fe, almost finished with the restoration. I am a member of Repairing Yesterdays Trailers where I documented the build. Figured I would post it here also as I lurked around getting ideas and information. Here are before and after pictures. New tires and curtains coming soon.

Just read your thread at RYT; great job on the restore.

It's a really great looking trailer.

Amazing how well the paint came out for it being rolled on; I wouldn't have guessed.

Welcome to VTT (wlcm)

and thanks for sharing.

Looks pretty good and built like a tank too. Enjoy the site, soup

Thanks everyone for the comments. From start to finish with some long periods of stagnation we spent almost 2 years on it. It is road legal as of yesterday, had to get a new plate since I did not have the original. Finishing touches today, scraping and sealing the putty tape and sewing curtains.

Needed a little better place for clothing in the closet, added the microwave and finished installing the hidden AC.
