Before and after

[Deluxe21]

Ok first is the cost. Not sure but I picked up the airstream for two grand and I think I have a little under five total in it now. I did all the work myself with some help from good friends. There are alot of hours in it not sure how many but more than I care to remember.
How did I strip the wood. Well I started with two different types of stripper and that worked ok but slow. I then tried a small jitter sander. Again to slow so I tried my D/A air sander and that worked real fast but left some scratches. After I used the D/A I cleaned it up with the smaller electric sander.
The last and hardest project is the polishing. So far I am using the Harbor Frieght 6 speed polisher with Nuvite G6. I tried a number of different things and ended up back with the Nuvite. I'm not sure but if I had to guess I'd say it never had a clear coat and never has been polished. The PO polished the front about five years ago and that is why I had to polish it. I think I would have enjoyed it alittle before taking on this polishing job had it all looked the same.

Thanks everyone for the praise

Nice job! Unfortunately, my 50's liner interior has been ravaged and shoddily repaired over the years-it was a hunting cabin for the last 10 or so years!

Looks like I won't be as lucky as you. . . I get to rebuild EVERYTHING from scratch, INCLUDING the floor. 59toaster and Markjoandall watch out! You will probably get a million PM's from me once I start working on it!! I have to finish my 73 first though.
