Synopsis

"

Pull your streamline aluminum trailer with pride after restoring and modifying it with the help of author Daniel Hall.

Until now, very little information was available to help you restore and update one of these trailers. Daniel Hall, of the vintage restoration company Camper Reparadise, addresses all items of streamline trailer restoration thoroughly in Streamline Aluminum Trailers: Restoration & Modification. Details on your trailer and how to restore it are covered from trailer tongue to trailing bumper. Key restoration components including chassis, floor, exterior/interior skin, electrical elements, insulation, doorjamb refabrication, LP, plumbing, and polishing are all covered comprehensively in a visual, step-by-step format.

The iconic shape and appearance of a streamline aluminum trailer sitting at a campsite or being pulled down the highway has captivated collectors and vacationing hobbyists for nearly 90 years. During this time, the exterior appearance of the trailer has changed very little, so recollections can range from seeing a 1937 Dodge Pickup to a 1969 Impala hauling one of these beauties. Today, restored rarities from Airstream, Silver Streak, Boles Aero, Clipper, and Spartan can command as much as $100,000 in the marketplace. These trailers have become symbols of American pop culture for several generations.

Whether you're a collector car enthusiast, resident of a trailer campground, or a vacationing addict, owning this restoration guide will be an essential tool in keeping your trailer active, updated, and in immaculate condition."

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

From the dawn of the very first streamlined aluminum trailer in 1934 to the most recent offerings from genre giant Airstream, Americans have always loved the look, style, and feel of these riveted wonders. Although many beautiful examples are on the road today, an equal number of trailers could use a little, or a lot of, TLC. Some need a minor touchup, some need modernizing and updating, and some need a flat-out restoration.

Author Tony Martin guides you through the process from selecting the right project all the way to polishing your completed streamline aluminum trailer. Every aspect of restoring and modifying your project is addressed including frame, chassis, bodywork, plumbing, electrical, cabinets, appliances, etc. Much of this work is covered in step-by-step restoration photo sequences, giving you a visual guide to converting a road-side eyesore into the belle of the trailer park ball.

Streamline Aluminum Trailers: Restoration & Modification is a must-have book if you currently live in one of these gems at an RV park or are restoring and modifying one for leisure use. Clubs and events are even scheduled around the gathering and appreciation of these timeless beauties. There has never been a book to fully aid in the restoration and modification of these beloved trailers until now. Add this useful resource to your library today.
