Default New from Anacortes, Washington

I'm an Airplane Mechanic from Anacortes, Washington. I've worked on big jets for 20 years, I work on Boeing 787's currently, which is mostly Carbon Fiber, I haven't done in sheetmetal work in years and never got into forming aluminum. I have a decent collection of Airplane sheetmetal hand tools. We have been collecting Aluminum vintage trailers, we have a 1964 Silver Streak 19', 1967 Boles Aero 20', and a 1972 Streamline 27' and need to start restoring them. I'm looking forward to getting the shop tools required and learn metal shaping tips and techniques.

Welcome to the forum, Bill.
With the respect for the Spartan Executive, I guess you are still looking for one of their coaches.....? Saw one used for "official Fire Dept. practice" several years back. sigh.
Some of us here are familiar with aero metal working ....
