Getting ready to weld some steel on the already painted frame. Got to grind the POR-15 off first. By the way, those shoes are OSHA approved.
All the kids wanted to help out, so I put them to work washing the Airstream. It was probably the first bath it's had in 10 years or more.
Once I got the scum off, the trailer actually looked really, really nice! Check out the reflection in the skin. That's dry aluminum, not wet shiney aluminum. Not bad for 47 years old.
I will not polish this trailer. She shines as she sits. I cleaned the scum to about 4 or 5 inches above the drip edge. Maybe it acted as a preservative all these years.

Hey John,
Looking good, but now my kids want to use the power tools.
