Just caught up with your thread and I'd like to follow along. It'll help me get my Airstream fix while the snow is falling here in Vermont.
I was listening the the Vintage Airstream Podcast the other day and Colin Hyde was mentioning they always run extra 12v and 120v wires front to back and side to side for future use. I just closed up inner skin over my new wires and didn't do that and was wondering if that was on your list. I'm not sure what I would have done with the ends. May regret it when I need one sometime in the future.

Texas is a huge state. Doesn't surprise to see those temperature extreams, There are a lot of folks who travel from cold Minnesota to warm south Texas during some of the winter weeks to thaw out a bit.

Hi: Very nice Texas adornment for your trailer as well as a "stiffener" for the power connection.
I made a similar patch for my old Trade Wind in the shape of my home state of Colorado. Perfectly square. Easy to make. Not very exciting.

Always good to start the assembly process, although you've been at assembly for some time with wiring, plumbing, insulation and the like.
Glad you checked with the boss. You saved yourself a bunch of polishing.
You'll have plenty of nice weather coming up. It's Texas after all. And you're going to have a heck of a nice vintage 67 Overlander when you are done. Dream of the "bend" at Bonneville.

You can show " the boss" our thread if you want to see what a finished interior polish job looks like. My husband was the one pushing for the polished look and I just went along. It was his time and a huge effort I am happy with it but paint would have been just fine by me too lol.

First Zipp Dee
Got the rail area polished for the window Zip Dee awning done and installed. Hard work by yourself . I like the way it came out . Didn’t have enough room to spin the ront arm over 15 times . Did manage to do 5 turns with a wrench. When I get the tires on and roll it out I’ll do the last 10 .
Will start the full awning tomorrow as the rail is already installed. May need some help with it as it’s heavier.

The ZipDee awnings will add considerable value to your Overlander, especially a 67 Overlander. I paid plenty extra for the two ZipDee awnings on my 75 Overlander.
Zippy a Dee Do Dah! Shade for the Overlander.

Got the main awning done . Also mounted the tv antenna . Going to play with the solar panels lay out tomorrow and figure out where to run cables.
I’ll take some photos once I get the scaffolding out of the way .
Onward thru the fog of my mind .

" Still working on floor plan with the boss . Gave her till Friday "
Careful there. As we say in Conifer, you ought not "poke the bear".
You are making good progress even if you don't where to run a TV cable.
Hey, I got an idea: Don't rig the Overlander with a TV at all. TVs are pretty much useless in this day and age. Rig your trailer with a good hot spot and signal booster instead.

Slowly
The old axels har some ribs sticking up . The previous owner put some chromed kidney bean wheels on that didn’t fit right . This deformed the wheel and then where the lug nut tighten down even got cracks in the wheel.
Received my new powder coated wheels came in and will buy some new tires at the end of the month.
Got the other Al. on the other side I staled over the new insulation. Sanded with 180 before mounted . All I have to do is rough up the pop rivets before cleaning and paint . Still waiting for a few more parts before I can mount the ceiling and paint .

Holly cow! Your trailer was heading for a major catastrophic event with the miss-match of bolt circles between wheel and hub. Cracks are not a good thing. New axles and new wheels will solve that problem.
Keep on hanging aluminum inside where you can. I was looking at a painted vintage Airstream interior the other day in the Classified section here on Air Forums. It looked really nice. I left the laminated vinyl on my Overlander, even the printed stuff in the bathroom. My project did not involve a gut job and skin removal.

Venturewest: Careful, you're going to give old Joyflea a fat head!
