That has actually begun, I am rebuilding the original side and tail lights so the polishing has started on those areas. It will look kinda funny with a few panels polished but that is how it starts. This Airstream is being restored as close to original as possible and safe. Next week I should get the new axle with electric brakes, I bought the new tires the 1st of this month. Then with the axle, tail lights and license plate installed it will be road ready again.
We are taking it to Hurkey Creek Campground next month for a Teardrop and Vintage Trailer get together. It will not be very usable by then but that Campground is only 15 to 20 minutes away from our cabin. Not sure that it will ever replace the Newell but it will fit in places that we cannot get into now.
PS and the Airstream will make a great "guest house" later on since we cannot get the Newell on our property.
