I have a 1970 Aristocrat Lo-Liner that I purchased a few months ago with the idea of moving into it to travel the US for a little bit.
I bought it and started working on renovating it (took off the aluminum and windows etc.) and replaced all of the wood that had gone bad or cracked. I was expecting to just use the same aluminum siding, but when I went to put it back on it did not quite fit. I had rebuilt the frame ever so slightly different and now a few of the windows are a couple of inches off.
To my knowledge I can't stretch or move the aluminum at all, so I'm guessing I will need to buy new stuff. I don't know where to go to do this, or what tools I'll need to buy to work with it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I could even travel to Salt Lake City, Utah, or around the South East Idaho location to pick up aluminum. I am hoping to finish soon as we should be getting snow very soon.
Thank you!
