AEG Airstream

The AEG Fish Bums have a new portable home. Our 1978 Airstream Sovereign International 31 needs a little work, but we should have the Silver Fox ready for the dance by the time we start the Bass Pro Tour in May 2008.

exterior aluminum riveting

Here are some pictures of what I have
done with some of the exterior work. Lots and lots of riveting and chalking.


The exhaust system on the furnace never lined up properly. I made the ventilation hole wider, and put some aluminum backing behind the vent cover. It looks natural.
I took this picture after I chalked, so ignore the smudges.










As you well know, the door was bashed in and the door knob/dead bolt needed to be replaced. The outside siding needed to be replaced as well because the previous door handle left a massive rectangular hole where the door knob needed to sit. The chalking you see in the after picture will be removed.

























The front end had been bashed in and banged out from the inside, causing a very noticeable eye sore. I took this section out during the demolition and replaced it with some airplane siding. Looks as good as new.
