A fun side project

We've got a little project going on the side, which is re-habbing a vintage 50's DeVille travel trailer.  A company in Erie, CO is doing the restoration, directed by your truly.  DeVille trailers were very well made, which provides a great start of the restoration.

The overall look & feel will be 50's Pink, Aqua & Yellow, but that's getting a bit ahead of ourselves, as here is the "before" of the outside of the trailer - on it's way from New Mexico to Colorado



& a couple weeks later, this is what it is looking like today, as the restoration has begun!

There was a fair amount of wood rot once the skin was removed, which is not surprising given the age.  All of that rotted wood will be replaced with new wood.



& disassembled even more - ready to start!!
