Well, after Curly Sue II had sat wrapped up all winter, we just couldn't wait to get started on some project to bring her back to her former life. So on one unseasonably warm day in April, Summer and I loaded up the tools, the kids, and some cups of coffee and headed over to grandma and grandpa's house (AKA - Airstream central/storage: temporary storage while renovations are in progress). Fortunately, grandma was ready to play with our three and less than one year old munchkins, which gave mom and dad a few hours to get some work done. We wielded sanders and brushes and a fierce determination to eradicate rust: tongue rust. We figured that sanding and painting the tongue was something we could do in a few hours. Moreover we needed to do it to feel as if we were making progress on our dream of trailering once again. So off we went, sanding, brushing with a wire wheel, and then repeating. One and a half cans of special rust sealing paint later, Curly was already looking better! But don't take our word for it, we have pictures...
