[SilverStreak] Re: Silver Streak Digest V2 #38

Hi all,  Just wanted to send a Thanks to all who have been so helpful in our 
restoration process with our 1970 Atlas Continental.  Took it to Island Park 
for a week.  Things are all working fine. Except the Oven(pilot lights but 
won't go down the tube to heat the whole oven.  We have new frig, water 
heater, AC, Converter, Yamaha 2400 Generator, New flooring, Toilet, 
Refinished Cabinets, water filter, white tank.  We would not have been so 
successful without this digest.  A couple of notes for those in the process. 
We found  the main source of leaking(other than obvious holes in skin) to be 
the seam where the bottom skin meets the top and there is a trim piece. 
Especially near the doors to heater compartments etc.  We took the trim all 
off and placed a seal under there to prevent the water backing up in that 
lip(Hope that makes Sense to you all).  When using generator for AC, we had 
to shut off the Fantastic Vents and unplug the Converter to get it to power 
up, but then nice cooling.
We have an empty parlor that we would like to put a ushape seating/table/bed 
in.  If anyone has done that we would appreciate insight and location for 
foam, help with cushions etc.  We towed with 2500 Silverado short bed and 
had no problem going 70.  The 8 miles to gal was a jab, but pulled great. 
We installed a grey water tank and it worked fine, it is small so we have to 
dump grey water every day, but oh well.  We can't complain.  Our new norcold 
frig had some cracked shelf holders so we took it back to be replaced.  They 
were good about that thank heavens, they are expensive units.  We need to 
get the outside finished up with the new logos.  I am not sure if the 
letters should be red or white with red shadowing and background.  I have 
seen Both.
We are looking for gold metal that they make magazine holders out of and put 
on the walls.  We need to make a door cover for the heater access (under the 
stove area).  Does anyone know what they looked like originally or have a 
pic of that area?

Thanks so much Happy Streaking to you all.
