1963 Yellowstone Renovation & Restoration Part 2

If you missed part 1 of this blog series you can see it HERE. All the work you see done here was done at Vintage Trailer Restoration in Burton, MI

Oh and just a little tip before I go on; if you take your trailer to a shop for repairs, remove all of your cushions and décor items from inside the trailer first. Leave those items stored at home. The reason is it will reduce the risk of your cushions getting dirty and makes it easier on the shop as they won’t have to try and find a safe, clean place to store those items.

OK, so where we left off was all of the skin was off of the Yellowstone and they had repaired any framing pieces that needed it.

May I introduce you to franken-trailer…

Remember I told you that the roof vent was being removed? This is the old roof and here you can see where all the exterior pieces to the roof vent are getting removed.

New roof skin being installed.

Next is putting the front skin on and cutting out openings for the front windows.

Meanwhile, my door is also being worked on. It had some wrinkling near the handle. It looked as though someone had tried to pry it open at some point with a screwdriver.

I’ll show you all the “after” on the door in the next part when I show you the new paint! Here it is with all the windows back in and new trim attached.

It’s coming right along. The new skin really makes a difference and it looks all shiny/new. Here you can see they were in the middle of doing the wiring on the rear lights. All of the wiring is new. This trailer had more than just the cosmetic stuff done to it as it was important to me that the wiring all worked as well.

Part 3 is coming soon and I’ll show you the new paint and other details.
