Hey Dave, well if you ever need a cover let us know! michigans not too far but for a cover i guess it wouldnt be worth the drive lol.

As for the airstream, its currently on hold do to the shop be SWAMPED with work. My dad leases out industrial buildings, and on of his tenants is the only person to sell this "granite" and sandstone. It came out to be too expensive for us so were going a different route. I can get you a phone number if your interested, its super thin material, lightweight but yet its real and looks good.

Heres the finished product of the Tige.

Nice job on Tige. And that Caddy is really sweet. I may drive to Cleveland to visit friends then on to Steubenville for other friend. How long would it take and how much for a basic 14.5 footer? I'll send pic. I need a long term storage cover and maybe a separate road cover.

Too bad about the stone options for the Airstream. I'm curious about the sandstone.
Cheers!
Dave

burb- they can be,.depends on how well you either restore or modify them. Ive seen older ones go past 30gs. It all depends on what you can do to it..

My father in law does killer upholstery and all his business is from word of mouth!! If you keep doing killer work like you already are, you will be swamped with work all the time!! Keep up the great work Adam, and keep the airstream and other transformation pics coming!!
