1962 Bambi - Floor and Frame, or Skin. Which first?

samedi 5 juillet 2014

Hi. I'm new here and doing my first airstream restoration. This Bambi needs some of everything repaired, replaced or installed. I've stripped everything out of her, including the interior skin, and I need to make a decision on what I should do first.



I think the two major directions I need to go are as follows.



Choice 1: Shell off frame repair, axle replacement and floor replacement.



Choice 2: Skin and rib repair/replacement, as Bambi has substantial damage to her aft port quarter (that's rear street side in the local lingo).



I assumed I would start with Choice 1 once I got to this point, which means I'd now be moving towards taking off the belly skin and shell. However, once I exposed the ribs and the interior surface of the outer skin, I'm inclined to work on that.



My question as a first timer: Does it matter if I do one before the other? Is there a natural order to things, and if I do things out of that order, will I be making a mistake?
