Welcome and congrats on your Airstream!
Hubby restored our
1963 Bambi a couple years ago and had a lot of fun doing it! He is now working on our
1955 Flying Cloud. He has quite a few "how-to's" on this thread with pictures, etc. Some might be useful to you eventually: (it is a long thread and you have to scroll through a lot, but the pictures help!)
