Liftoff into the New Year!!!!

So me and my girlfriend got her lifted off the frame. Scary moment when it almost tipped but otherwise it is a very tedious two person job and since we weren't hung over and has a good nights rest it was time to start the new year off with something really exciting!!!

Good thing we have a huge parking lot to throw things around but clean up is a pain

Better Keep 'er

The girlfriend that is.
If she didn't run away when she saw your Airstream, and if she spent the first day of the New Year lifting the shell off the frame; I would say she is definitely a "keeper."
Good luck with your project, and happy Airstreaming!

Haha. She was there when we bought her and will be building a lot of the cabinetry for the interior.( she was a cabinet maker ) so she will be getting her hands dirty. Or dirtier should I say
