[VAC] Re: Aluminum Segments 1963 Bambi



I think you're going to want to buy a pre-formed
segment.  additionally - you definitely want to think
about making sure you use the correct aluminum since
Bambi's seem to be among the most collectible of the
vintage airstreams.

The likelihood that you'll be able to just buy the
piece and replace it is not really there - most likely
you will have to have that piece made.  there are
machine shops and the like with english wheels that
will duplicate the piece (without dent or whatever)
for you.  again - just be sure you use the correct
aluminum replacement or it will look particularly
inadequate next to the other polished panels.
