[A-Merry-Can]

... what can you do with 2 airstreams, that you can't do with 3? well, here she is, in all her embarassing, over-oxidized, caulked, rotted, squeaky, leaky glory. the former owner named her "stinky", quite appropriate, i assure you.

do i need another project? not really... especially as i have a '59 18 footer in need of an interior...

do i need another airstream? not really... our daily camper (64 trade wind) suits us fine!

could i pass it up? nope.

makes no sense, i know. the neighbors probably hate me, the wife thinks i'm nuts... as do most of my friends, but here she sits! i think it's safe to say i have aluminitis... and ADD!

what she needs... everything! first thing on the list for me is to work up the exterior skins a bit, and get new running lights and umbilical. then she's at least remotely street legal. next up, i'll be taking taking out all the interior and dropping it off with womeone to clean up the frame and install a new subfloor. then the REAL fun begins. a new axle and tires isn't far behind all that.

in the grand plan, we want to put in a side dinette, and modernize the interior. everythiing's still up in teh air at this point. i'll post photos and progress as things develop.

congratulations or condolences are welcome! haha!
