Domino!

I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on ordering windows. This will be the single most expensive decision that we make, so we're taking it slow. But as I considered what to do in the meantime, I started to wonder if we would ever polish the aluminum skin. If we decide to polish, at least the perimeter of the window openings should be done prior to window installation. So I did a quick sample to help us decide. I just used some cheap polish I had laying around, so I'm sure I could take it a lot further than this if I found a quality product and learned more about how to do it. The jury is out.

  1. Hi, I saw the link to your Spartan restoration on the yahoo Spartan board. What a great project! I'll be following your story as it unfolds:)

    I have a 1950 Royal Mansion that I'm renovating to put out in the Texas Hill Country.

    I'm pretty useless as a source of practical information, but I'm very interested in trailer musings and appreciate the design and history of Spartans!

    Keep blogging!
