TW: 1
Rob: 0

Yee of little faith.

I am alive and the trailer is progressing. I need to organize some pictures and move them to be able to post but I have much details and progress.

I am down to a shell only and the interior aluminum walls have even been peeled out.

The axles are brand new as are the tires and I have even added a 4" lift by way of changing the torsion axle resting angle. BC Boondocking more possible now.

I am working the gutting beneath and arranging some substantial sub contracting to spray foam the underside and sheet with better aluminum for the belly pan and I am happy to have found a good interior aluminum fabricator that has experience and creativity with the interior walls.

Monza. Mine is stored well in the SE (just off the ring road) and I would be happy to show a fellow enthusiast the state of complete emptiness I am at. Have a beer and talk about where things are at.

So far the tally is

TW: 0
Rob: 0

Don't tell me your trailer is stored at the storage area on 104th in the SE??

I bought a 73 today from there and saw another Airstream stored there.
Regardless lets discus and pool resources.

Congrats on your new '73, Monza. And Rob, I've gone years between posts, so I get how slow these projects can go. So glad you've posted an update, and that you're still hard at it!
