50 AMP Power Connection

Posted 10-14-2011 at 03:37 PM by Nashville (Hindenburger Hamburger Airstream Concession Build Project)

Our commercial wiring requirement called for a 50amp 125/250v connection. We went with the Furrion system. It's classy, well engineered, and easy to use. We love it.

First Cut is the Deepest

Posted 10-14-2011 at 03:18 PM by Nashville (Hindenburger Hamburger Airstream Concession Build Project)

1st cut completed on the curb side. Combo of black, red, and white bars. On polisher #3 because #1 and #2 burnt out. There are no short cuts in polishing an old AS.....you will be filthy dirty, sweaty, tired, and sore. Bret is working the 1st cut around the rear and down the street side now. He will finish up with the top. Once the 1st cut is complete and the trouble spots are worked out with extra attention...... we will transition to the cyclo for polishing.

Tow Vehicle for the Hindenburger - 1960 F100 panel

Posted 09-14-2011 at 09:56 AM by Nashville (Hindenburger Hamburger Airstream Concession Build Project)

We have been looking for a tow vehicle that would compliment the 1959 Hindenburger in both style and era. Since our tow vehicle will also support the generator and other support functions, we wanted to find a panel truck from the same vintage year group. Three days ago we found and purchased a 1960 Ford F100 panel truck. She has a 302/C-4 with front disk brakes and R&P steering. Solid truck...just needs some TLC to get her dressed for the party. So we now have the 59 towed by a 60....the way...
