Where do I get a Blue Airstream Sign?

Hi,

I just bought a 1961 Overlander and as you can see in the photo, the Airstream sign is quite faded. I am learning all things Airstreams as it's my first one...all ideas appreciated!

1. How would I find a new one?

2. Or restore this old one?

3. How would I take the sign off (rivets) and replace it with a new one if I can find one?

Thank you!
Joey

Vintage Trailer Supply should have one of those.

Simply drill out the old rivets and install new ones. Should be able to get some olympic rivets to fit from VTS. Enjoy your new project!

I just bought two new Airstreams signs on the link you sent. Wow, those rivet shaving tools are expensive! $250...wondering if anyone sells items like that here?

Thanks again Fitlevel for the website...they have a lot of great items!
