Hey all,
Think I found the best made part of my 62 Shasta Compact - the door ! Took it off to look into replacing part of the wooden frame as appeared to be cracked on the handle side and bowed out when closed. Anyway got it off without much problem and looked to remove the trim pieces that are nailed into the top, bottom and sides that secure the birch and door skin. Just my luck, Shasta used nails with spiral shanks and even after 50+ years, they are in and in good shape and not coming out easily. Most have an almost flat/flush head so difficult to get out. Does anyone know if the aluminum trim pieces are available ? Trying to get them off without damaging but just in case.
Happy New Year,
Mike
