You need to know what a rivet gun and bucking bar are and what MS20470AD5-X means.

This statement coming from a man that can probably pressurize the cabin of his Airstream.

Once you think you have all the rivets out, there's always ONE more holding the whole piece in place.

My wife has a variation on that one: "It's your trailer, and you will do what I want with it."

That is NOT a variation.

The previous owner never heard of aluminum or stainless steel. Every fastener he used was zinc plated steel. That is why you have that beautiful brown patina on everything.

Don' t lose sight of your goals. I have seen to many gutted airstreams where the owners started and gave up only to be listed to be sold. If you start something finish it. If you are going to do it, then do it right or don't do it at all.
On the other hand I saw a gutted airstream for $1800. Tempting. The possiblities.

What he said, but be prepared for it to take far longer than you expected.. It will be worth it in the end though.
