I do have to say that is so refreshing to see more and more young people getting into the vintage trailer scene. Kwaggs, I had to laugh at your pic with you working and your wife drinking that nice frosty Carona. I face that same kind of help? sentiment? as you do...93 percent humidity here and I'm grinding and sanding the hitch and bumper while my partner is sitting on the deck sucking down frosty cold beer...would-a been NICE if I was asked if I wanted/needed one now and then...LOL Just think though....there will be a time when you'll be able to sit and drink them beers while SHE'S working on it (brushing on layers of shellac is a FINE start). Good luck with your rebuild...oh, and welcome aboard the site!

Great work so far on the Airflyte. We never cease to be amazed at how much rot these little trailers can hide. But you are doing the right, albeit hard, thing. Once you're done (and you should be done at least a month before your wife is!), it'll be good for another 52 years!

Great job on the total restore. And I agree how good it feels to be getting some fresh new and young meat into the activity. Don't you just love the way people advertise these things knowing absolutely nothing about it will take to restore them? I'm starting a 59 tomorrow so it's good to see what the inside looks like in advance. Thanks for posting all this up for us and welcome to the board.
