A Cloud named 'Spoon'

[goshawks00]

Thanks again Matt, riveting the window keepers is the way to go👏

[goshawks00]

148 rivets later (3/16th" X 1/8th") the windows are done

[StevieB]

So Barry, does this mean you are taking "Spoon" to Florida now?

[goshawks00]

Yes we are taking her to Florida!! Just not this winter!

[goshawks00]

Finally after a month of working them, all the windows except the front one, are in--

[goshawks00]

FINALLY the windows are in, including the front one!

[StevieB]

So, ..... Barry, .... what is the next plan of attack?

[goshawks00]

Hi Steve, I am using my highly skilled, and thought out, shotgun approach... Multitasking so as to never see the end of any one project, but rather work and work and work, getting frustrated along the way, until one day a bunch of tasks get done all at one time, there by causing euphoria, and new renewed hope!
That said , and in no particular order; polish eyebrows, shoot polish every thing, remove and remake the rain cap over the door. Flooring...Oh yea , build a new door, and door in a door, finish second layer of Prodex insulation, wire ,and wire and wire, along with converter, and shore power plug, find my 20+ sheets of Baltic birch for wood interior. Then stain , sand, fit them. Build overhead indirect lighting system. Build the bed and toilet areas... figure out kitchen arrangement, not to mention the second story loft and swimming pool, AND the alligator filled moat for those pesky late night trailer crawls and walkabouts!

You? Ready to go?

Have tried running my own thread but have had no replies trying to find out what my airstream is exactly it's titled and vin on trailer matches vin on title it's 1955 vin # 6648 it's 26 ft and a 9 panel 7 head panels and two lower front and back interior skin I think is aluminum not zylotone everything looks period for 55 but as far as I know 9 panels were not made until 58 any help pls

[goshawks00]

No sure what you have but this thread is about 50-55 Flying clouds which are basically 22'. They all are 13 panels in the front. Yours is neither, so search for threads that match your size. Good luck'

[goshawks00]

Maybe an Overlander 57-59

[goshawks00]

Made new rain cap for door, .032 was a little tough to bend.

[goshawks00]

Installed

[goshawks00]

Finally have the insulation all done. Two layers of Prodex spaced between two layers of offsets.

Wiring is next up and should take awhile as we haven't finalized layout/ electric circuits/plugs / 110v and 12v. Along with rough plumbing.

[goshawks00]

Not much done, but I did get the outside running lights wired and hooked up. Getting the plug to converter wire tonight. Also polished where running lights , shore power inlet, water inlet, license plate light will go, so I can finish hooking those up.

[goshawks00]

Got all the side running lights hooked up,but in the process I dropped one of the lens, yep destroyed it, I found a replacement glass one on eBay, should be here Tuesday. Made a license plate bracket, wired the light for it up and installed it , along with the new Furrion 30 amp power plug. I also have the fresh water fill inlet completed on the outside.

[calais66]

Looks great! If it makes you feel better after installing my vintage Nite Owl license plate light I dropped the lens and it shattered on the bumper. God bless eBay!

[goshawks00]

Ok which one of these is not like the other?

[goshawks00]

Decided to convert to original H-20-2 door handle with a twist it will be flush mounted-no turning back now

[goshawks00]

Sorry for double post
