Jalousie Window and More Are Polished

Colin's guys have polished the window frames before they are riveted back onto our vintage Airstream.
Polishing the window frames off the trailer is a more thorough way of getting the aluminum to shine.
And it is much easier not reaching over your head and awkward angles - time and money saving!

Some parts are acid washed before they are polished.















One of my favorite things about our 1955 Flying Cloud is the front Jalousie window.
Ok, I know I probably will list at least 50 favorite things, but I do love the cooling breezes that will enter from the front window - even during a summer rain shower.
The glass was removed for the aluminum frame to be polished.












Polished - it is so beautiful!












Also polished are the openings where the newly polished window frames will be attached. 












Even the door gutter is polished and ready to rivet to the soon to be polished shell.
