More after Pictures
I put the new bath vent fan in today and filled in a rear seam with some sikaflex and new rivets. I know its a luttle crude but I will trim the stems and clean up some of the sikaflex after it dries.

Thought this old sign from work was apropriate for covering the AC hole temporarily.

Sikaflex
As you may be able to tell by the pictures I used Sikaflex to install the bath Fan. The other stuff that held it in was I belive BOSTIK 1100. I am hoping the sikaflex will be ok.

Was there any sheet metal damage on the sides or awning or was it mostly on top? I saw the non smooth roof in a few spots, but the front back and sides look awesome. So does the area in back where the shell meets the frame. No issues there either?
This is really turning out to be a silver lining in the clouds!

Awnig
The awning took a good hit. It still opens but has a dent in the tube so it kinda flops as it rolls out. I will get a new tube later after I get an AC installed. No sheet damage on the side its all in the roof.

Looking good CC. Now for the interior. That will be a challenge. You're welcome anytime here in the desert. The trees are few and small to boot.

Great Job. Looks good as new. Remember ---out of sight--out of mind. You did a great job on those inside ribs. Let's see some more inside pics, when she's ready to roll.
Best,

Amazing...
CC... what you have accomplished is truly amazing. Few among us, even the die hard restorers would have attempted what you've completed. You are to be congratulated!
What's really neat is that you now have an Airstream that you can say is truly, truly your own. Again, few of us outside that intrepid group who undertakes frame-off or the restoration of a gutted shell can claim that.
My hat's off to you!
Roger

Amazing
I can't beleive that you were able to rip every last inch of that baby out, and then get it all back in....I't incredible!!! Talk about having intimate knowledge of your airstream, you know every inch of that thing.
Well done!!!!

....or like all my projects, I would have ended up with a pile of parts that seemingly went nowhere, only to find the first time using the Theford, I fall through the floor!!!

Motto for life-or a good excuse
When everyone questions why I tear into my truck, house, AS the simple answer and excuse for an apparent lack of sanity is:
"I don't feel I really own it till I take it apart and rebuild it."
