Hi Kat ~

I can post a few photos once I get home. How about you posting some of your trailer so we can enjoy your newly acquired vintage TradeWind? We all love pictures.

I will send pictures as soon as i get back to the storage lot

It was only used once and has all paper work including a letter from Helen Byam, Wallys sister. It also has the rally number for the Federal Way Wa. event that was unattended because the couple had medical issues. [featured on the book cover ] The door is the biggest problem, so I will greatly appreciate the help of where to start Bucking !!!!! Katherine

Okay going out on a limb here... How do you know to buck if you don't know where to buck? I am far from following your question.

PS Helen Schwamborne, not Mr. Byam's sister but cousin.

bucking

The inner door was re-skined at one time and it was a quick job about 8 rivets in all securing the door to the frame... The reason I am asking for photos is to see the configuration/placements of the rivets so I can make a template... As far as the letter and the missive of who is Helen I don't think it is generic to the restoration of my trailer ... thanks for your comments.. Katherine

Did you get the pictures of the door(s) I sent to you last night?
