Gutting & Renovating a 1973 Vintage Airstream (Ep.1)

[@Meghanandmatt]

Thanks for watching everyone! This part of the project ended up taking a bit longer than we planned but we got it DONE! Let us know what your favorite part was! Mine was when Matt remembered his training 🔨😂

[@slowcarfasthome]

i like the progression of less gentle gutting throughout this video. ending with sledge hammer and sawzaw 🤘🏽

[@Meghanandmatt]

By day 3 I just needed to make quicker progress and that bathroom needed to GO!💪🏼😅

[@slowcarfasthome]

haha we understand 100% and took the less gentle approach ripping out the remainder of what the previous owner left in ours when we bought it 😂@@Meghanandmatt

[@Meghanandmatt]

@@slowcarfasthome tbh smashing was significantly more fun 🤣

[@NoCaping]

Over the moon for this series good start so far guys 😊

[@Meghanandmatt]

Thanks! We’re pumped

Nothing to me beats two young vibrant smart people tackling and saving a vintage Airstream. 1973, the best year. Oh, its also the year I graduated from high school. LOL I subscribed and will keep following. Keep up the great work.

I thought you guys went pretty fast.. that was a lot of demo! I didn’t realize you were totally gutting it, although I totally see why! Great job, guys! ❤

[@Meghanandmatt]

Thanks Linda! Yeah there’s a ton of work we have to do before we can get to the actual building part of it 💪🏼

[@Jim-p4i2z]

I have to say watching you guys demo the airstream is entertaining especially when you make it fun

[@Meghanandmatt]

Thank you Jim!

[@shannonlassiter4072]

OMG, gotta ask, how many curse words came out during this process? LOL. We admire your patients, tanacity and teamwork! Having a blast watching this project! Keep up the good work!

[@Meghanandmatt]

Lol just a healthy amount of swearing but even more on the last project we just wrapped up 😅

[@flowerstone]

Grasshoppers look cool. Until 20 million of them swarm in on the garden. 😊 The good thing is they don’t eat aluminum. 😁

[@Meghanandmatt]

You never know their taste buds could adapt 😳

[@johnsteiger7842]

Hi guys. Enjoying your videos. We’ve had an 1962 Airstream Bambi in the yard for over twenty years waiting to remove the upper shell so we can repair the trailer and replace the floor. Can you spell procrastination? I really think you will motivate us to get going! ( Ok, in our defense we have renovated two houses and built a third, but seriously, no more excuses!!)

[@Meghanandmatt]

Thanks John! Glad to hear you like the videos. And sounds like you’ve got some work to do! You got this!

[@hukshot]

all grasshoppers are not male.

[@tracker5849]

Did you buy that from a young man in florida? Very curious. Best of luck with it

[@Meghanandmatt]

Nope we bought it from a couple in Indiana. And thank you!

[@tracker5849]

@Meghanandmatt my curiosity was because we lived in a OLD UGLY 1973 until 2021. My son towed it away..parked it in the woods. Said he wanted to fix it...but sold it instead....probably for junk..lol. it was awful!!!!! Anyway....THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING. Be safe and good luck
