Our shell-off vintage Airstream restoration at this time looks like 2 completely different projects.
The shell was polished and we need to make a decision about which panel or panels to replace.
And our chassis is getting close to being completely done - so exciting!!
Cuts in the aluminum for the corner construction is very familiar to me. It looks like fabric clipped to ease a concave curve.
Because we added a space for a spare tire under the frame, the belly pan is installed in a few more panels. Just so I don't forget - the belly pan aluminum is not the same as used on the sides of Airstreams. The belly pan is made of 505 032 thick.

The cleco fasteners are holding the rear street-side panel in place before it is riveted. Cleco is a newer tool for me, so I googled the word to find out it is also spelled cleko.
