Hello. 99 here. Faith is a little bit busy enjoying her new found self, so I told her that I would sit in and add to the blog. This should be a treat. Never has a blog been written with an entry in the first person. Are your ready? Okay. Nice to meet you all. Since we left you, she has gone up on the market for sale and we have heard from a lot of people who absolutely love her! Just last night someone wrote this to us...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"> "I used your work to show several people what I was trying to explain to them. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">They understood when they saw your work"</span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">Now I am not going to get a big head over this or try to make it seem like I am the travel trailer restoring Goddess. But I can tell you one thing....when it comes to really loving these trailers and putting my whole heart and soul into them....yep, that would be me. I also mix in some down deep ingenuity, creativeness, DIY'ers, and a few cuss words from time to time....shhhh, don't tell my grandson, Mason, cause I have a Mason Jar in the house and whenever anyone swears it is supposed to be fed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">Anyway, this trailer is a good one. I am proud of her. I can't believe I did it! But then again, I can because I wanted it. I wanted it bad. I wanted to prove to myself that I could do this. I did. That makes me proud of myself and that is a cool feeling. Anyone who has done this before knows that feeling when you get to the end and you sit inside and you just look around and you go....WOW! I did that. I turned <i>that</i> from <i>that</i> to <i>this?</i> And you look at every little piece and you remember the struggles and the trials and you say to yourself, "holy cow, I can't believe this beautiful piece of history is sitting before my very eyes and looking so unbelievably unbelievable". Those so close and yet so far moments and the "I knew it couldn't be this easy's." Yep, if you have been here...you know. And yet you keep on until you finally figure it out. Then it feels that much better. Because you were not defeated. You hung in and you believed. That's what life is all about. Hanging in there, believing, holding on and never ever losing Faith! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">Faith has not been lost. Look at her. She is back almost exactly like she used to be. If ever in my life I start to lose faith, I am going to look back at photos of what a mess this trailer was and what a sharp, tight, cute, adorable, hot, looking piece of work she is now!</span></div>

Especially without the power tools we have today. And <i>they</i> built houses! </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14px; text-align: left;">Now, back to Faith, the 1962 Serro Scotty Travel Trailer. Since the last post she got a new ceiling/roof vent. I was going to try to get all the tar off the old original one and replace the screen, try to fix the adjuster or replace it and try to make it look new again. The more I looked at it, the more I realized it just wasn't going to do her justice. That thing was beat. So I went to the big box trailer store, told them what I was looking for, and why, and they directed me to the right aisle all the while wanting to know what exactly it was I was trying to do...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14px; text-align: left;">Here it is all in place. Looks like it belongs if you ask me...</span></div>

The exterior lights were hooked up and a plate holder was made. It is not an original, but it will hold the plate in place for when it makes it's maiden voyage. I made sure to use the old screw holes where the old plate went and I put a gasket behind the holder. Did not want metal on metal here. Faith got a butt job to put it bluntly and here it is...</div>

Of course she was sealed up with butyl rubber putty tape, but I tend to be the paranoid type, so I made sure she got extra armor against the elements and sealed her again with a clear flexible sealant made for trailers along the edges where water might get in. I can't remember the name of it right now, but if you want to know, send me a message. Always willing to share the tricks of the trade.</div>

So, I guess this is the point in the blog that Faith leaves you with a quote, right? Okay, I will play along. I will leave you with a few and hopefully one will stick out for you...</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Imagine you can do something, believe in those who believe in you, never give up no matter what, always appreciate what you have and be thankful for every single moment that makes you smile. And if you have to...every once in while, it's okay to kick a trailer tire and wonder what the hec you were thinking getting into this little addiction. You will figure it out in the end. That's what makes it all worth while. Keep the faith, my friends.</span></span><br />

Hello Dahlings! Faith, the vintage Serro Scotty here to fill you in on some of the work that went into restoring me back into a beautiful creature! There was so much that needed to be done it is always hard to know where to start. I guess I will start with my tongue! My tongue was old, paint chipped and rusty. Here is my before picture...</div>

My table was "cute" in the words of my restorer, 99. But not very displayable. Someone did a nice job on the artwork at one time. 99 wanted to keep the original table, but wasn't sure what to do with it....here it is</div>

My trim rails on the outside were a royal pain in the patootie! They were so long, in the way, covered with old paint and tar and had tons of tiny twist nails in them! The tar was softened using a torch and then scraped. When enough of it was removed the remainder was wiped off with gasoline. Paint remover was put over the paint and removed as well, then they were polished up and now they shine!</div>

Scotty is known for having the drop down floor. 99 wanted to find a way to reinforce this. And she did. Using angle iron she put a frame around the box and up each corner. My floor isn't going anywhere for a looooong time!</div>

There are lots of things that were done that I haven't mentioned. If you think this went off without a hitch, it didn't. There were a few times a mad dash had to be made to push me in the garage or cover me with the tarp because of really hard rain. Times when 99's hands hurt so bad she ran them under hot water just for a moment of relief. Times when she just sat down next to me and cried either because she couldn't believe she was able to make something out of nothing or because she didn't know how on earth she was going to do just that. She broke two windows by accident making even more work, her light, good drill is toast because the batteries won't take a charge so she had to use the heavy one, her buffer is a piece of "crap" as she says so a lot of the polishing and shining was done by hand. She broke more jigsaw blades than I care mention and took a lot of slack from helpers who sometimes had an easier way but she would refuse because it was not the best way. She stuck with me though and worked on me diligently, sometimes from early morning and through the night. She learned a lot about friendship because people would cheer her on, provide graphic visuals, offer advice, send over tools she needed and supplies, bring over dinner and basically stick by her side and believe in her. I mean a lot to 99 and I think I came to mean a lot to lots of other people too. Like I said before, a lot of love went into restoring me. I am not yet totally complete, but I am up for sale. 99 will continue to work on me until my new family comes along to take over, but she has made sure the hard work is all done and that I am ready to be cherished and enjoyed for many years to come. This was a long hard road, but one worth traveling. And now it is time for her to let me go. She says someday she will be able to have one she can keep and love for herself. For now, knowing that she saved one more trailer from doom is good enough for her! She kept the faith and so have I!</div>

I think this is how 99 feels about these old trailers she rescues. She made me into a star and now it is time to let go. If you ever find yourself questioning whether or not you can do something, first decide if it is worth doing. If it is, well, then hold on to faith and never ever let go! </div>

When I finally find my permanent home I will come with the curtains, the cushions, the mattress & sheet. 99 decorated me to show you how much potential I have for being a beautiful little home away from home. That and the fact that until someone finally does take me away, she is going to enjoy me just a little bit. 99 told me this happens all the time. She restores a trailer and somewhere along the line she falls madly in love with it. Well, just between you and me, I kind of have a feeling she fell in love with me the moment she saw me! </div>

The first meal in my newly restored dinette. The wine wasn't consumed. After every successful sale 99 opens a bottle to drink to the fact that one more trailer in on the road again, one more family will enjoy the fruits of her labor and one big sense of accomplishment and realizing of the dream. She says it is always a moment of mixed emotions, saying goodbye to one of her beauties is sad, but it is always a happy moment knowing that someone is going to love it the way it should be!</div>

In my next blog I will show you some of the miscellaneous things that were done to me. Every little detail is important you know and there were enough of those to keep 99 very busy, very frustrated and very hard at work. Until then, I will leave you with this...</div>

Getting to this point was a lot of work and required a lot of elbow grease. When I arrived, my skin was painted in two layers in some places. It was banged up. It was covered in tar. All of my skin was removed on the first day here. Here are some photos...</div>

After being carefully removed the skin was laid out. First came the tar removal process, The tin knocker dude helped with that. The tar was heated using a torch and then gently scraped off with a putty knife. The remaining tar was removed using gasoline. </div>

The pieces of skin with paint on them were stripped using airplane stripper. It works pretty good but with old paint it takes a lot of work to get it all off!<br />

There are lots of details and specifics to add. Bent pieces were pounded out. Butyl rubber putty tape was put on all edges of the skin before putting them up. Weather sealant was put in the seams. Side windows received new weather seals, screens were replaced as were a few window panes. A lot of work and time and most of all love was put into me. Lots of 16 hour days. I think 99 is a bit obsessed with me. She says she wants me last a long time to come. And that is just fine by me. I am looking forward to getting a new family. 99 says I am going to turn some heads going down the road by the time she is done with me. That is a dream come true! There were those who said to 99... "I hope you know what you are doing" and those who said "You CAN do this". This has been a mission of love not only by 99 but by those who followed along on her journey. She has loved these tin cans since she was a kid and would like nothing more than to do this for a living. And so, she is giving it her best shot. She has had people loan tools, donate supplies, bring dinner, share words of encouragement, pitch in some extra hands, offer advice. It's not just me and 99 out here. It is us and a bunch of people believing in this process and watching ME turn into a thing of beauty and return to my old glory. So, whoever ends up getting to enjoy me....they are also getting a lot of love packed inside of me. When all is said and done there is nothing better than love!</div>

<h2>
Faith allows things to happen. It is the power that comes from a
fearless heart. And when a fearless heart believes, miracles happen. (unknown)</h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Never stop believing in miracles and never ever give up on your dreams. When you feel like you can't hold on anymore, sometimes miraculous people come along and refill your faith in yourself. Look at me and what a mess I was when we started this journey. It is because of faith that I am being renewed. So, have faith in yourself and in others and never give up!</span></h2>

Hello Dahlings! Faith, the vintage Serro Scotty Travel Trailer back to fill you in on some more progress that has taken place over the last several weeks. This entry is about rebuilding my walls. Of course you remember that I was demolished right down to the floor. That scared the happy camper right outta me. But I held on faithfully to see what my restorer, 99, had in store for me next. She built some brandy spanking new walls for me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Plywood was laid out. A pattern was drawn using the skin. After this each side was biscuited and glued together and pulled tight with come alongs. 99 was real nervous about this part. She researched and researched the proper way to do this. She was on the phone with a carpenter friend throwing around ideas. That friend stopped in one day when he was in town and brought her the come alongs. He checked up on her work and gave her a few more pointers. He even came back later and helped her out some. 99 sure is lucky to have some very good friends. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, here is the building of the walls in pictures,,,,,</div>

The cut outs from the wheel openings were saved just in case the new owners want to build some wings using the original new pieces. 99 would love to do it but she is just so busy focusing on the rest of me.</div>

A strip of rubber was put all along the edges of the plywood that the luan will lay on top of when they are attached together. Oh, and see those strings hanging down? You will never guess what they are for....99 must have hit her head on those beams about 99 times. They were put there to catch the eye so she would remember to watch her head. She never got mad, but it was a funny thing. Right after she hit she would always say..."watch your head". I was thinking that was kind of backwards and would have saved her some pain if she said it before she hit. Putting the strings up helped.<br />

The center ceiling panel in the photo below was replaced with birch. 99 can be a little picky and she didn't like the way the luan layed there. She wants my ceiling to be strong. Something about snow being heavy. I forgot what that was I have been cooped up in a barn for so long, but I figure she knows best. So it was changed out.</div>

Some of the painting is being completed. The door for the cabinet at the entry door was changed from birch to Oak. 99 did not like the way the birch looked. Told you she was picky. I think she drove the tin knocker dude nuts with all of her nit pickiness!</div>

Here I am...looking better and better all the time. As long as we are here, let me tell you about the upper cabinet. It was really a mess. 99 cleaned it and sanded it and tightened it and painted it. The rubber molding was put around it where the top edges meet the ceiling for protection. Pictures say it best so here they are...</div>

That is pretty much it for the walls. Believe me, it wasn't easy. Everything has to be so precise, level, in line,,,,I am surprised 99 isn't completely gray at this point. Here I am getting wood surgery (as opposed to plastic) and she is just a mess. She keeps saying she can't wait to be clean for a whole day again! Her time will come. She is so busy with this labor of love and putting her heart and soul into me. I have a feeling when I am ready to be given to my next owners, she will have cause to get dressed up and celebrate. She keeps saying...one more from the fields and barns, one more for the road! I can't wait to hit it!</div>

It's me, Faith! Sorry it seems like I deserted all of you, but 99 and I have been very busy. We have been hanging out pretty much non-stop for the last 5 weeks. I am about 90 percent done! Can you believe it? I knew you could...it just takes a little faith, that's all.<br />
<br />
Oh Dahlings, I just don't even know where to begin showing you all that has been done to me so let me start where we left off and try to put the pieces together for you....just like 99 did for me. I guess we can start with the floor. The Plywood flooring was still in good shape and could be saved. The braces on the other hand were a different story. They were all removed and replaced. Once that was done it really sturdied me up and straightened me right out too.<br />

At my threshold there was a hole in the floor covered by a piece of plywood and then carpeting. It used to look like this...</div>

From underneath a pattern was drawn on new plywood and it was cut and fitted in this hole. Braces were put in place on top of the iron frame underneath. At this point I was thinking someone could carry their new bride over my threshold when we go on our honeymoon vacation. What? I see you smirking. It could happen. I'm just an old romantic, but I have faith!</div>

The curbside cabinet, boxes over the wheel wells, rear bed wall and cabinet door were all rebuilt. The kitchen cabinet received a new face and a new oak countertop that was coated with polyurethane. Original knobs and hinges were put back on and since the icebox was pretty much toast, a cabinet door was built. My new owners can take the door off and fit in an original ice box if they want to. The size of the opening wasn't changed for this reason. </div>

Next came the painting. 99 says she has a hard time visualizing so she sent some pictures of what she said I should look like over to her friend. He is a great musician, but also a fantastic graphic artist. He altered the photos to show varying color combinations and after much consideration 99 chose blue on white for me. Dahlings I'm starting to feel beautiful and young again. Yippee! Sad thing is 99 feels about that old, 99. You should hear her whine all day about how her hands hurt, her knees hurt, her eyeballs hurt. Bet her eyeballs are feeling better now that that overdose of pink is gone, huh?</div>

99 has a friend she calls the tin knocker. He rides a really loud motorcycle and I can hear him coming from a mile away. I like it when he comes to help with all the things that take two hands. He is fun and brings 99 cheesecake and stuff. That puts her in a much better mood. Anyway, 99 had a great idea for a backsplash and she got out all the supplies and explained it to the tin knocker. They set to work and had me a new one built in no time!</div>

I will have to show you the rest later. I should probably tell you about rebuilding the walls next. That was about the coolest thing ever. So check back on my next blog entry, Dahlings. Some big and exciting things coming up!! A real transformation if I do say so myself. Until next time, keep this in mind....</div>

Never be afraid to take the first step, my friends. It could lead to the most wonderful of things. Just keep the faith and never let go of the dream. I didn't, and look at me! I'm turning back into a real beauty if I do say so myself. ;)</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello again, folks! You remember me, right? It's Faith, the vintage 1962 Scotty. Throughout the course of the last week I found out a very important detail. I am a test. I guess with me it's all or nothing. You see, my new owner has had some struggles. You know what <i>they</i> are. Everyone has them. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Old Glory Vintage Travel Trailer Restorations almost traveled down the highway of lost souls.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, the last year has been a bit of a conundrum. 99 wants nothing more than to do what she loves for a living. That's restore old trailers and put them back on the road where they belong. I guess it's a big dream that was going good for a while and then circumstances changed. So....long story short, this is one last ditch effort to make this dream a reality. Apparently, that means 99 has a deadline to finish me. On top of that the work has to be quality. I have to turn out good and strong and able to last another 50 years or more. Needless to say, the pressure is on, but absolutely no short cuts or shoddy work will be allowed. I have to turn out to be something that someone will fall in love with, not only because I am going to be cute as all get out, but because I am going to be worth having. Something someone can be proud of. That's cool with me! So come on along and let's watch this dream unfold. 99 and I have faith, do you?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">And here is my little cubby. Still needs a door, but that will come. You will see. And yes, that is a hole in my floor. Wish I could talk cause I would tell 99 exactly why it is there. I came here with carpeting over this spot and a board securely fastened over the hole. 99 removed it and said "Oh, shoot, go figure". No worries though. She will figure out a way to repair this eyesore and make it better. I've got faith. Besides, a master carpenter stopped by to see me the other day and he took a look at it and said it was no big deal. I felt better after he explained how to fix this without ruining my integrity. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello vintage travel trailer lovers! I'm Faith, the vintage 1962 Serro Scotty Sportsman Sr. Travel Trailer, here to tell you a little bit about my exciting new future that I have to look forward to! Are you excited, dahlings? Well I am and rightly so! Do you know what faith is? Faith is defined as a strong or unshakeable belief in something, especially without proof or evidence and also the confident belief in the truth, value, or trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing. I am Faith and I believe that I will once again be a beautiful piece of history that someone out there is going to love and cherish. I mean, just look at me....I'm one hot mess. I've got faith though. I believe without question that this new human in my life, the one they call 99 and who can be a little bit of a hot mess herself, is going to restore me back to my old glory and then some! Ready to go for a ride, dahlings? Okay, just follow along on my wonderful journey. It's going to be lovely!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me start by showing you what I looked like when 99 came to check me out. I was being stored in a barn in Gasport, New York. My old owner took me out to take pictures of me and 99 saw them and decided I was worth a shot. She checked me out all over, She climbed underneath me, peeled away some of my skin to get a look at my bones, checked every nook and cranny. She said things that hurt my feelings a little and then she said the most horrifying thing of all. She told my old owner that if she took me she was going to have to take off my skin and replace my bones. At first I wanted to say..hey, wait a minute here, I didn't sign up for this and then something stopped me. It must have been faith. Besides, I figured anything was better than sitting in this dark old barn for another 15 years. Last thing she said was that she would let my old owner know in a few days and they both disappeared out those heavy barn doors and the last thing I heard was the clinking of the lock. Back to my lonely old prison hidden away in the dark. Come on...I don't look that bad do I? Someone feed me some sunshine, PLEASE!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then it happened. The most amazing thing in I can't tell you how long!! About a week later my old owner is hooking me up and taking me on an hour and a half ride to my new home. Glory, glory hallelujah it felt awful good to be on the road again. Sites to see and a places to go. That trip only increased my faith that someday I was going to be hitting the road on a regular basis! You'll see!</div>

Here I am sitting in my new driveway. Aren't I just a vision of loveliness.This 99 person introduced herself to me and we had a nice chat. She laid down the rules telling me I better not give her too many problems because I was part of her dream to restore trailers for a living. Cool, I'm part of a dream! </div>

99 said I looked like bottle of Pepto Bismol exploded on the inside. I think she needed some Pepto when she got done with the initial inspection. </div>

My previous owner's girls used to play in me when they were little. They had some good times in here. After that I just sat around collecting dust and slowly falling apart, 99 said she could almost visualize the fun they must have had because when she was a kid she used to play in an old tug boat and a camper her dad built for hunting trips. Somehow I think that made this pink issue a little more bearable. </div>

So, that's the old me! But wait, it get's worse. This is where the major surgery comes in. I wasn't in my driveway for more than fifteen minutes and the horror you are about to witness in the photos below started happening. I didn't feel a thing though...I was in too deep a state of major shock...</div>

So I made friends with some mice over the years. I was lonely. You can't hate a girl for being a little lonely can ya? Besides, chances are if you have restored one of my relatives, this isn't the first time you have seen this type of a trailer/mouse relationship. <br />

This was the end of day 1. 99 finished here and just leaned back against the hot tub and kept repeating "Oh, Lordy, Lordy what did I get myself into?" I couldn't quite figure that out. I knew she was talking to me because she was looking right at me, but she wasn't even in the hot tub. Oh well, humans are a strange breed. I think I like this one though. She was real patient and she was smiling just about the whole time she was breaking my back....but in a soothing way. I've got faith that this is all going to turn out just fine! How about you? Are you with me on this one? Yes? Good, because I have lots more to show you. It's been about a week now since my arrival and this 99 chick must be wearing an invisible cape or something because she hasn't stopped. We are spending lots of quality time together.<br />

“Sometimes beautiful things come into our lives out of nowhere. We can't
always understand them, but we have to trust in them. I know you want
to question everything, but sometimes it pays to just have a little
faith.”
