Keep up the good work!

Hey, I just saw your introduction to the forums. I'm new here as well. Don't get discouraged by the leaks. Just keep at it. There is a lot to it, but each time you get significantly closer. We went over each rib and tightened up the solid rivets and found that it was a huge source for water. That rig looks absolutely beautiful and you've put life back into it! I absolutely love seeing folks go through an airstream like this. It's worth it! Cheers,
Brandon

Painted hitch/bumper + glass question?

Realizing never took good before pics of rear bumper lol but cleaned it up really good and painted w/ POR 15. Also front hitch. Did more leak detecting today. I sat outside and made it rain w/ hose while partner sat inside with trempro we passed back and forth. Small leaks now, seemingly pinholes missed in last check so it's getting better. I still have quite a bit of clear coat left on back hatch I didn't get on first polish pass. Oh well...will get back to that later...and yes, before pic of hitch shows clear glass window. I'd actually taken the picture after installing brand new piece of glass from VTS. Came out the next morning at it was shattered in tiny pieces all over the ground. Was not vandalism. I think it shattered because installed too tightly??? Anyone else ever have this problem? It was disappointing after all the work drilling the glass bar and 200 bucks. I didn't want to repeat so have $40 pc of solid plexi in there now...
