I just love old vintage ANYTHING and cringe when I see those things destroyed or left to rot or ruat away. It's like throwing history away be it a car, house or TC. The old Shadow Cruiser we bought isn't as old nor did it need total reconstruction as yours but still....... After the repairs and refurbishing it now functions the same as a much more expensive newer camper. I believe that it will last us now until we can no longer climb in to use it. But then we're on the shorter side of life already. We were fortunate enough to have it inside for storage and work and got it done thru the summer. Our big barn isn't heated, but heat was the issue rather than cold, lots of sweaty days. LOL Good luck and happy winter project.
