Anyone know why the sides, just below the big windows, get waves in them?? Is there a way to make them go away?? They make the sides look like crap no matter how nice the rest of the coach may look.

The wavy sides and the exposed rivets are part of the "charm" of owning a 73-74 coach.
The easiest way to eliminate them is to buy a later model -- 76 - 78 -- when the fabricating skills had improved.
Certain paint colors show less wavy.

I've noticed dimples in the late models sometimes. With that amount of surface area riveted down, I assume that it varies due to expansion, too.

Tom, watch 'em change and get more wavy when the sun shines on them. All
expanded and no place to go.

Take your "glamour shot" photos on cold, overcast mornings?
