Restorations

I just found a reality show called "Flipping RV's".
The premise has a couple who's business is finding old 40's, 50's and 60's trailers and refurbishing them for resale.
However, they have the garage, staff, and materials to make, refinish, or source old parts.

It reminded me of some of the folks here who are into major rebuilds.

I thought the show is interesting, and the end result makes me want a 50's Airstream (Or the myriad of brands I've never heard of.)

What I like about the show is it's not million dollar builds. The trailers might be 16', and the result is beautiful.

I have seen a couple of their finished products and they are nice....a bit more modern than I like but that may be what the owner wanted.
Check their prices, labor is expensive....not quite but close to million dollar builds. Then again if someone wants something special and cannot do the work themselves what would that value be?
