[VAC] Re: plywood floor & curved windows

Hi Ed,

Hope  you understand that the angle iron or aluminum at the front and rear
of the trailer has a couple dozen rivets that must be drilled out before the
skin can be lifted off the frame.  I haven't done this, just know that it's
a necessary part of the process.  The rivets are obvious across the front as
there are two horizontal rows.  Across the rear, they are not so obvious
(referring to my '69 Safari) as the convenience hatch sort of hides the
feature.  The front angle might be as much as 10 inches tall; whereas, the
rear might only be 3 inches tall.  It's obvious that you will have to drill
all new holes in the angle.  My thoughts are that the bolts that clinch the
angle between the floor, "U" channel and the cross brace (frame) must be
done after the shell is in place.

One day, I might find a restorable A/S that I really like and will give it
all the loving care it deserves.  However, the name of the game is RVing,
not restoration!

                                                        Regards, Joy
