Shell off and working on the frame! The shell has its fair share of debts and dings but overall it’s good enough for me. The outriggers are rotted off and I will building my own and taking the frame in for sandblasting. I picked up a gallon of Eastwood’s Rust Encapsulator Plus a aerosol can of internal frame paint. Any input is welcome as I am very new to the forum world! Thanks

Frame repair on the Airstream. Airstream wanted $32 a piece for each out rigger and I needed probably 14 making them well over $400. I opted to have a local shop take 14 gauge steel and bend it into a C channel then took my plasma cutter and cut the half circle on the end and squared up the other side with my chop saw. This cost me $100. I had Sam grind the slag off the frame while I fabricated the pieces and welded them on. I used a piece square tubing to make sure they were true. Team work makes the dream work..😝 *Sam is my wife
