If it were me, I would first decide on the year and model. Like Belegedhel said, there are many configurations. You can go to Airstream Archives Pictures and go through all the years. After the mid fifties, Airstream went to the stretch formed end caps which are difficult to replicate. The 55 FC I'm working on has flat segments that are riveted together that forms the end caps. No stretch forming. If you found a year and model you wanted to duplicate, you could post drawings of each elevation and post that for forum members to fill in the blanks on section dimensions. You will still need to have the structural ribs bent. On our 55, we replaced about 60% of the exterior skin due to dents, holes, etc. All the sections were pretty straight forward cuts. Like mentioned above, you may buy an old shell to be polished or use for patterns then resell. Good luck, Bubba
