Hello

Have been searching your site for sometime now and finally I have a reason to post. I just purchased a Streamline and I am trying to understand where to start on the refurbishing of it. First off I was wondering what is the best way to polish it. Am I ever going to be able to produce a "mirror" finish on it? If so what is the best way to go about doing that. Any tricks I should know about?

Also there is some rot on the flooring. It is the standard twin bed floor plan. Where the couch should set at the front on the right side the floor is soft all the way following the wall under the window to the door. Would I have to pull the whole body shell off to repair or can it be fixed in sections?

I am also looking for any info on vintage appliances or remanufactured appliances. I want to restore my Streamline to have the look and feel of a 50's diner inside. Any suggestions or recomendations would be appreciated.

Thank You
Brett Wilson
