Thanks for letting me join in. Been on the lookout for a while and finally found my project trailer. Not quite vintage, by the local standards, but it'll do for me. It's a 16 ft 1972 Smokey. And it needs a total makeover - inside out! Been reading thru old posts, watching videos, and making plans. By the time the weather warms a little I'll be ready to get started. Thanks to all the contributors here for all the great info.
I'll be lurking for a while, but will post updates when the work starts.

Think of it this way: Next year it’ll be 50 years old. That qualifies as vintage in my book. And just to make sure you have understood the many posts about restoration here, I have a one question pop quiz for you. Ten extra points if you get it right on the first try. What is wrong with this statement? ...And it needs a total makeover - “inside out!” p.s. You don’t have to answer this!

Hamlet - good point! Yes I have read and watched enough to not try to make repairs from the inside with the skin attached.
