This is my first post on your mail list, did I do it correctly?  Let me 
know if the procedure is different.

I picked up yesterday a 1963 Tradewind and am very excited on its 
possibilities.  My company, www.gmccoop.com is in the business of 
renovating the classic GMC motorhomes built from 73-78 and picking up this 
Airstream is something I have personally been wanting to do for some time.

If you look at my web site, you will see that we supply parts, information, 
services and restore the GMC coach just as a specialty antique car 
restoration facility would do a classic car.  We have been quite successful 
and enjoy the work we do.

I intend to renovate my Tradewind in the same manner as we do the 
GMC.  This will be my personal living quarters at GMC rallies.  I will tow 
the unit with my coach.

As we progress, I'll be looking to you guys for tips specific to the unit 
and hope to show you some new ideas we use on the GMC.  When complete, we 
may be interested in including Airstream trailer restorations along with 
our GMC restoration work.  We have specialized exclusively in GMC coaches 
in the past because we simply see nothing else as a similar classic.  The 
Airstream travel trailer is the only exception I would consider working 
with given the narrow focus of our interest.

As we get more familiar with the Airstream, I hope we will be able to 
contribute to this forum, until then I was taught by my Grandfather to 
listen before talking.  If you have any questions for me, please Email me 
direct (jimbounds@sprintmail.com).

Thanks for your time, I am very excited about being a part of the Airstream 
community and hope to have fun working with the unit I have just acquired.
