Re: [VAL] Small hole in the outside skin



Bill

Ok I see where - I assume the picture with the hole - is the hole....

How perfect do you want the restore to be?  Whats the rest of the 
skin like?  If you want it to be perfect you could replace the whole 
panel - its not in too bad a spot - its a flat sheet.

Other wise you could put a vintage TV antenna there ( I may be 
getting rid of one since I can't figure what to with it ) - the kind 
thats in a PVC tube with an antenna pole in it, you could do one of 
those rubber wip radio antennas, you could put some sort of louvered 
vent - I've seen them up that high before, maybe an unused awning or 
other type of bracket - you could put what in the 70's was called a 
scare light (one of those big round clear lense lights - I put one on 
my 58 to cover a hole)  even a regular light - you could put a plug 
outlet - buts it probably too high for that.  If it were mine, 
though, I would probably go with the outside light or the TV antenna. 
- something vintage looking.

That is going to be one really COOL looking trailer when its done.
