1972 Tradewind Finishwork
When contractors come to the end of a building project they will often create a “punch-list” of those tasks that need completed. Anyone who’s been in this position know how many hidden details crop up with any construction effort. Restoring an Airstream is no different.
We are currently knocking out a punch-list of final jobs that will finish the 1972, 25’ Tradewind trailer for our customer. Here are some of the finishwork details that are part of a top quality process.
Simply open the crimps up with a screw driver, reinsert the awning edge, then tap it back closed with a small hammer.
This is one of those jobs that goes a lot quicker with two people one person below on a ladder, and the other person on top of the trailer. Be careful not to dent it! You may want to sit on a carpet-covered piece of plywood to spread out your weight.
Our pure white laminated countertops were installed by Closet Crafters of Ventura. Here’s Israel caulking the back edges and cleaning up after an excellent installation.
Matthew and Thomas reinstall the candaleviered bed hardware that has been restored and resued from the orginal trailer.
