Welcome and enjoy. This is the place with the most information you will find on the net. There's some Facebook sites popping up for AS, but zero with as much content as you'll find on here
Near the top/middle of the is the search area. There are so many things to learn and it's fun, well to me it is. Post some pictures so people know what you have to deal with and well, just because we like to look at what others have. I have a
1959 Tradewind that we're doing the "Full Monty" restore/update on by ourselves. The shell is currently sitting on a few furniture dolly's and the frame freshly painted with POR-15.
You can find most of your answers by seeing what others have done and with pictures (Usually) when your searching for something, some are similar results, some are different in the way they went about fixing it.
The first thing I would do is do a very thorough inspection, if you can gain access through the belly pan to get a visual of the frame that would be great. Check your floors really well, take an awl, poke in the cabinets close to the walls and around "Wet" areas. I haven't seen one that hasn't had some form of water damage, how ever minor.
Have fun on your adventure
