my 1959 tandem axle, the metal above the wheel wells looks like its bent, crinkled and has a rip about 6 inches up and it looked like someone along the line tried to reinforce and pop rivet together to get it to hold,.......being new to airstream my guess would be since it has it on both sides and is almost at the peak or center of wheel wells, that maybe there was a tire blowout or a axle failure sometime??? again being new to airstream I'll have to figure out how best to cut out this section of twisted / ripped metal and replace with new aluminum but I suppose a small say 10" high by 18" wide patch riveted in will look goofy too.
