Finally Messed Up...

[Johnco]

After 16 years and 45,000 miles of glitch free towing I finally messed up. In one of those moments where I should have taken a step back and reviewed the situation I decided I could make it and wound up crushing the curbside front and passenger side rear of my truck in the classic jack-knife. Not sure why I'm putting my lack of judgement out there but maybe it will stick in the back of someone's mind in the future and prevent them from making the same mistake. In years past I would have take the rig to C&G for the fix as they had done an excellent on all the regular upkeep since I purchased the trailer new 16 years ago but alas they are gone. I'm faced with trying to find someone reputable to replace the front curbside panel and center front panel. I've made inquiries as far away as Heber City in Utah (VARR) and am not up for a trip to the Mothership so I'm looking for recommendations for panel repairs. I know Vinnie is booked way out so any other recommendations for repairs? I've been following the recent threads on panel repairs and so far not encouraged with what's out there. I store the rig at Orange County Airstream and have considered getting a bid from them. Any helpful input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Check out forum member UWE. He has (used to have?) a company called Area 63 Productions (from memory, I think that's the correct name of his biz). He does very nice work and has a good reputation here. Not sure what he's doing these days as far as repairs go. He's in CA. Check out his thread here about restoring his Airstream.
