4CU 004 : 2009 FCU Vintage Restoration Rally

[Ken J]

The Four Corners Unit is pleased to announce its much anticipated second annual Vintage Restoration Rally.

This is a rally for anyone interested in hands on learning all of the ins and outs of restoring a vintage trailer, or just seeing how these trailers are put together.

This rally is part seminar (classroom) and part hands on and does not require you to bring your trailer. Topics anticipated are as follows:

Complete overview of trailer restoration – with lots of photos to see
Rivet and skin skills taught by Aircraft experts
Cabinet building skills
Zolatone painting (this will be worth it alone)
Electrical – basic and high tech wiring
Axle replacement
Door rebuilding/repair
Solar
And more!

Check out last years rally FCU Vintage Restoration Rally and we think you will see it is a must attend event – this is the only rally whos focus is Airstream restoration and you will see and learn far more than humanly possible to absorb – which is why all the presenters put their handouts in a book that you can take home with you.

We will have trailers at the rally that will be working on and tons and tons of tools around so that you can get some hands on experience.

So here is the deal….. we are limited in classroom space, which limits this rally to 30 units. Pre-registration has filled this rally 1/3 full already (those who attended last year get first priority). If the demand is there we will consider expanding this rally by renting a fully enclosed tent. So we will confirm attendance up to 30 units. After that we will take reservations and make our decision on expansion based on the reservation list.

So you want details…? Ok - we hold this rally the last weekend in April (24-27) at Enchanted Trails RV Park and Trading Post (an old route 66 trading post) in Home Albuquerque NM. The weather is usually pretty nice this time of year (maybe a little breezy ) and is the perfect time to get going on your pre-season restorations. Our rally fee will be the same as last year ($30 per person – adult $20 each child) plus as screaming deal of $14 per night to Enchanted Trails (thank you Vicki!!) for the camp site.

So what do you get for your 30 bucks? You get a great learning experience plus a catered meal on Saturday night (so you don’t have to worry about cooking after working hard all day) a pancake breakfast (so you won’t have to worry about cooking after staying up late on Sat night) Sunday morning and a great restoration manual to take home with you.

So don’t hesitate, we look forward to seeing you in Albuquerque!
