I like the shape. Are they all plywood? Impossible to work on without breaking it down to the frame?  |

All that I have seen are plywood walls, they were built just like a tear drop, cheap as possible. There's no reason that you could not rebuild it with the common stick and tin type construction style.

All Corvettes I've seen have ply walls, yup...

A shame about the plywood. I like the look of this one. Bidding was up to $255 last night.

How many Corvettes had the inset front window section? I thought the front was not inset, so this is fun to learn.

$1025, with 9 days to go.
No title.
I also like the shape and the inset window.

My old 1949 trailer was build from the factory in just 1/2 inch plywood with battens at the joints for nailing the 4 panels, of each side, together. In my opinion, its a really crappy way to build anything. If you have to nail into the edges of a sheet of 1/2" plywood it will split, especially if water gets to it at any point. A lot of the nails in the corner joints of mine could be removed by hand, there was just nothing holding it together any longer. I rebuild using framing when I redid the whole box. My steel rolling frame was good, as were the aluminum skins and windows, everything else was trash. I had no trouble in Colorado getting a new title. Get a letter from the current owner stating everything he knows about ownership though. that may be helpful.
