Several weeks ago we bought a 1977 Palomino Yearling and started the remodel project. The interior cot finished before the cold weather set in and here are some pictures of the big reveal with a few before/after pictures and a walkthrough video. http://sdrv.ms/TW7hLN Were slowly doing the outside now like adding brakes and reworking the lift arms but the cold weather prevents us from painting. Here is a link to the entire project step by step. http://sdrv.ms/W8UWY9 there are a bunch of pictures here but it shows the process including the water damaged floor that got repaired.
Thanks for letting me join the board I'll mostly be browsing for a while until I get a feel for the software.

I still can't paint the body because of cold weather but I have done some detail work. The amount of detail work is staggering. It seems like every time I look at the PUP something new pops up, pun intended.
Here are some pictures of the work we've done in the past few weeks. http://sdrv.ms/VTbWTu

Today I got the taping done and spot primed the bare metal, so as soon as tomorrow, weather permitting) we can sand and roll on the gray and white colors.

When I had my Class "A" repaired the pro's calked after Paint. So that's what were planning to do. I can't say why it's correct or even if it is correct, but my thoughts are that if you calk first and then have to redo it in a few years the paint job could be damaged. All this is speculation on my part but I somehow convinced myself paint first is the way to go. DW noticed that where the calk was painted on our MH it cracked with the movement of the calk and looked bad sooner than the bare calk.

We studied on it a bit and realized if I painted the Blue Band now we could save one tape up. So I prepped it and sprayed the blue band. The color scheme model we did is in these pictures as well. http://sdrv.ms/10UX5ea

OK Thanks 8)
I did the tape up and painted the Gold Stripes today. It took a bunch of tape and a lot longer to tape up than paint. I'm pleased with the results. DW says it looks a lot like a boat now that the paint job is complete. I'll let all this paint set up for a day or two and then tackle the Diamond Plate.

It won't be long now! As soon as it gets warm enough I'll go fishin. But first DW want's to go to Florida and see some Harry Potter thing at Universal Studios. While were there we'll visit Disney World as well. Oh yea were stopping in the panhandle on the way and I'll go fishing in the Gulf with my Brouthe-in-law.
