Thanks to this community for lot's of great resources. I have been trolling the forum for a few months. Just found a 78
Beachcomber that needs quite a bit of work. I'm comfortable with the cosmetic,
electrical and woodworking issues, but there appears to be frame and
fiberglass issues that I need some advise on before committing to this restoration.
The frame looks like it has been repaired due to cracks, etc. The body will have to be removed and frame repaired. I am concerned about the
fiberglass body. From the hitch, the right side of the wheel well has rolled outward, causing the tire to rub on the wheel well. The underside support behind the wheel is pushed up into the mount and the outside edge of
fiberglass has bulged out. Not sure if this is just because the outside wall has flexed.
Has anyone experienced this before? Will the wheel well straighten up once the roof and walls are re-supported properly? Any feedback would be appreciated.
