You might be restoring an Airstream if...

[InsideOut]

...you are considering changing out your white shower for a black one to hide the tell-tale signs of polishing
...you know to take your polishing rags to the laundromat rather than use your own washer
...you have thousands of rivet stems & heads littering your backyard work area

Along those lines,

Yep, Chaos, had those too!

...you find black POR-15 handprints on your hips, even though you were wearing two layers of clothes
...you ask your friends to borrow a 1/4 cup of rivets instead of sugar
