My father has suggested this, and it may be our option, but the trailer 
is perfect otherwise.  One kind "listee" suggested an aircraft repair 
shop in Sac. CA.  I will try it (get estimate), but it was for an 
Airstream.  Isn't the alum./finish different on a SS, and can the 
correct material be had??

I have a Silver Streak with a dent in the right rear corner and live about 
an hour from Sacramento. Would you mind sharing the name of the aircraft 
repair shop you referred to.  Thanks.  Frank Rose
