My wife thinks I am a nut because I have been lurking airforums and other sites for months. My curiosity of vintage trailers quickly turned into an obsession. We own a rock climbing publication
www.deadpointmag.com and I decided that a vintage trailer, "badged out" in our magazine's logo was a marketing necessity. I loved the airstream design, but painting one would be a crime, so the Argosy naturally became my trailer choice.
This morning at 4am, my wife and I arrived home with our new restoration project. We purchased Steve Fixx's 73' Argosy
http://stephenfixx.blogspot.com/ , and we have big plans for her.
At 8:30 am I woke up struggling from the lack of sleep. After slamming a pot of coffee to clear the cobwebs, we began gutting her interior. We know she has several leaks, and feel the interior vinyl walls will need to be removed in order to find the leaks and repair them. The old vinyl walls are held in with rivets and have several old rivet holes. We are looking to create a very clean finish to the walls, and the old vinyl isn't going to cut it. My question is, where do we find the suitable replacement vinyl? And, are there cleaner options than rivets? Thanks ahead of time for the advice.
Cheers,
Matt
