Our '59 Flying Cloud. Tuesday, August 18, 2009. Oh, boy. Do I have a lot to tell you about. And next, one picture from the maiden trip to the beautiful Washington coast:. A few weeks before the 18 footer was stolen from our home, we had booked the first trip of the season. A late July trip to Grayland Beach State Park. When the 18 footer was stolen, we vowed to get another Airstream ready to camp by that trip. Since then, we've pushed hard to make that happen. Stainless steel screws to attach the vents.

Our '59 Flying Cloud. Tuesday, May 26, 2009. Let the polishing begin! Hi, could you pass a chocolate donut and juice box, please? I must be crazy to start a polishing project now! Polishing a trailer takes many many dozens of hours. At a time in the project when we need to see some rapid action, I choose to polish. What am I thinking? I justify my decision to polish by looking at the two tone colors from our panel replacement. Emmett came down to help. He loves his 'Bapa' and can't be more than a few...

Our '59 Flying Cloud: June 2009
http://59flyingcloud.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Our '59 Flying Cloud. Monday, June 22, 2009. From here on out, it's all gravy. For the last six weeks, we've been polishing. It's satisfying looking at the finished product while thinking back at all those hours, but I am SO GLAD to be doing something else. It just so happens that the project I'm working on now is one that I love: putting stuff back on. Begin with the marker light base. These are aluminum so I can polish them someday. Lucky me! Step 6: Attach the cover plate and admire. After that was th...

Our '59 Flying Cloud: February 2009

Our '59 Flying Cloud. Thursday, February 26, 2009. Get your weld on. This weekend was dedicated to the frame. Looking at the before and after of two and a half long days, doesn't look that impressive. We did a on of work, but it doesn't look much different than when we started. Ted, my father-in-law came to help. HUGE HELP! He cuts, grinds, marks, helps set up, tickles the grandkids, drinks coffee and has a big smile the whole time! Neat sparks. Emmett never gets tired of watching them. The weekend of Fe...

1959 Airstream Overlander, "Someday". We're restoring a 1959 Airstream Overlander travel trailer, down to the bones and back up again. We've christened this trailer "Someday," based on one of our favorite quotes:. Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday. There is no someday. Saturday, April 21, 2012. This is our "left list". this stuff is what's left on the list:. Clean seams, polish, reseal seams. We need to find a threshold. Also, rebuild and install the step. Then, install a new seal.

Our '59 Flying Cloud. Monday, March 30, 2009. Continuing on with the sub floor. Three sheets of ply last weekend and two to go. Tough part is, these last two sheets can't go down unil the holding tanks are all plumbed and ready to cover. My mom came up to help again by watching our two rug rats. Well, one rug rat and one in training. We also used hose to plumb the shower drain. That is the second hose in this next photo. An included hose will lead over to the valve area for leisurely cleaning. Saturday s...

Our '59 Flying Cloud. Tuesday, April 28, 2009. Insulation and skinning the belly. I wish I could rock a pair of star sunglasses like my little baby does! You can call him Leon, but we call him Mr. Goo. Took a 30 second (max) walk, rain drops as big as gumballs. Back to trailer work on the weekend. The time has come to finish all the projects on the underside of the trailer and get ready to insulate and cover. Brake line all prepped and ready to hook up. C channel was bolted in place. Part of the fun with...
