I'm probably the typical new to vintage AS owner, excited to make a neglected icon useful and whole again. Dents, I can deal with that, remove interior and inner skins to clean out mice damage ok, remove floor, I can do that. Rusty frame? Why is it so rusty I wonder and then remove the bottom skin and tanks. When I went to drill out the trim around the lower body and then the banana corners and other bent transition pieces I found that the bottom pieces overlap the upper exterior skin with no caulk. I was floored! No wonder the frame was so rusty, It got soaked every time it rained. Im fabricating 18 new outriggers and other replacement parts and moving on with the repairs, but I have to say I looked at a 60's Avion today and it was put together properly and ultimately an Avion is what I will end up with.
Anyone else notice this problem?
