Has anyone here ever thought about cutting down a large Airstream and creating a short one?

Imagine some of the straight-forward steps:
• Removing all furniture
• removing inner skin
• taking body off the frame
• removing excess length and reattaching rear bumper
• removing end sections from side and roof sections
• attaching them to new shorter side and roof sections
• transferring existing windows and door to new side pieces
...and putting it all back together.

Sounds more complicated now that I itemized it... but still, if you could find an already gutted trailer in the upper 20's length, you could have your cute little Airstream for thousands less than street value.

And the best part would be getting to create a whole new model name for your creation! The Airstream Stubby? Airstream Half-pint?

Time for samari sawsall !
