1966 Safari ( HUGO). My documentation of the resurrection of a 1966 Airstream trailer. Monday, February 23, 2009. I didn't die, I just took a break. As you will see in the below photo, it was a good idea! I used the sawzall to cut the sides and an air operated grinder to get the top flange cut in half. The tape was applied to protect the bathtub but, I ain't that good kids! I then put a punch on the cut lines and broke that sucker in half and removed it. The cuts are really shallow. 1967 Overlander 2 of.

1966 Safari ( HUGO): Dometic Vent Repair
http://alumanutz.blogspot.com/2008/12/dometic-vent-repair.html
1966 Safari ( HUGO). My documentation of the resurrection of a 1966 Airstream trailer. Monday, December 8, 2008. A few months back I took some photos of the ABS vent for my Dometic refrigerator. The vibration cause by the bad axles had caused the vent plastic to crack everyplace a rivet had been placed. Old age was a factor also! I then removed the vent and opened up the cracks with a Dremel tool. I finished up by spraying it with a coat of Krylon Fusion paint for plastic. It will not be seen when instal...

1966 Safari ( HUGO): Fixing Broken Glass
http://alumanutz.blogspot.com/2009/04/with-tub-removed-and-placed-in-my-shop.html
1966 Safari ( HUGO). My documentation of the resurrection of a 1966 Airstream trailer. Wednesday, April 8, 2009. With the tub removed and placed in my shop I thought I would do a little work on it. I am always amazed at how many holes people can put into an airstream. I decided to start out with a clean slate and fill all the holes. I started out by covering all of the holes with blue painters tape. Each piece of tape is at least one hole, sometimes two or three! Labels: Fixing Broken Glass. You could al...

1966 Safari ( HUGO). My documentation of the resurrection of a 1966 Airstream trailer. Sunday, December 21, 2008. Finger in the Dike. First, these are the products I plan on using, along with the vulcam which is not pictured. I found this at a local auto parts store. It will be used on all of the interior joints, just like the stuff airstream used on the end cap segments. This is the area along the front street side window. Its between the window and the skin. This is the same area with Acryl-R applied.

1966 Safari ( HUGO): What a Jerk!

1966 Safari ( HUGO). My documentation of the resurrection of a 1966 Airstream trailer. Friday, April 10, 2009. For those of you that have tried my jerky, I thought you might like to see how I make it. Those of you that haven't, I do send out samples when I can. First, I start out with a good cut of meat. I don't think you can make a silk purse out of a sows ear! Like Airstreams, start with the best and hopefully, with enough hard work, you will end up with the best! Then it goes into a dryer. I don't...

1966 Safari ( HUGO): Indiana Jones and the Trailer of Doom

1966 Safari ( HUGO). My documentation of the resurrection of a 1966 Airstream trailer. Sunday, November 30, 2008. Indiana Jones and the Trailer of Doom. Continued replacing the Olympic rivets this weekend. This brings the total so far to over 250 rivets. When I look at the trailer with all of these Cleco's sticking out I am reminded of a scene in the Indiana Jones movie where he is going through a cave and these darts start shooting out of the walls at him!

1966 Safari ( HUGO). My documentation of the resurrection of a 1966 Airstream trailer. Saturday, September 27, 2008. Hugo got new shoes. I hope my luck holds. I you plan on using the Dexter axle, be aware that you will need new rims. The center hub is a little over 4 inches and the stock wheel with the baby moons won't fit. The boss even came out to keep an eye on me. He's a tough guy to work for. Never far from that tennis ball. Links to this post. Wednesday, September 24, 2008. This would guaranty blow...
