[VAC] Re: GMC/Airstream Restoration

Welcome Jim, you posted just fine - just need to add a subject line 
next time.

Due to the popularity of the Airstream, it is surprising that there are 
not more Airstream restoration companies doing what you are doing with 
GMC motorhomes (cool looking things BTW) - and are considering for 
Airstreams.  Any endeavor into this field is encouraged, and should do 
well. Over the last 10 months, I have declined 3 unsolicited offers of 
$15,000 to $24,000 to do a turn-key restoration.  Damn, with the 
airline business the way it's going, it sure is getting tempting...

One thing I hope to see in the future is more reproduction parts.  As I 
have noted before, you can practically build a Mustang from such parts, 
yet for the Airstream you can count them on one hand.

I think I have finally found a company to make the old aluminum Hehr 
vent covers, and will allow me to make the hydro-form mold instead of 
paying them the $1200 fabrication fee. Cross your fingers everyone.

Anyway, your success will be success for all Vintage Airstreams! Best 
of luck.
