Undercover Bubble


The X251 has spent most of her past twenty five years in the southwest. Now she is here in Baltimore and we are having an unusually rainy spring. I seems to rain every other day. I needed to get her under cover so I can work even while it rains. I purchased a 20 X 10 X 10 foot portable garage. She fits in there just perfect and now I can work rain or shin.

As you can see another storm is rolling in. I have not decided weather or not to put on the sides and ends. I will probably keep it open to make work easier. Hopefully tomorrow I will get in there and start removing the entire interior. I am very interested in seeing what I will find as I dig in deep, bet my client is too.

  1. A dry trailer is a happy trailer. :)

    Can't wait to see if "the walls talk".

  2. Nice, that should help out the Bubble quite a bit and make your Client happy.

    And, I LOVE that whale tail. Just beautiful! :)

  3. Nice g'rrrraage, as you'd say. We Brits would get by with garridge.
    Particularly relevant as I'm tapping this out from your side of the pond - in Tribeca, NY - working flat-out, so unfortunately no time for any Airstreamy distractions - except to pick up an order from Vintage Trailer Supplies. But another time I'll come & track down Frank's Trailer Works.
    Looking forward to seeing some interior photos of X251.
    Best from a sunny NY

  4. Chris,
    You should pop by and visit my brothers vintage clothing store on the corner of prince and eliz - called eleven, if you get the chance. Plenty of 50's gear to go with your trailer. I always like popping down in eight mile creek on Mulbury for a aussie pie and mash.
    Gosh you got me thinking of paying new york a visit very soon.
    Sam.
