Vintage RV & Motorhome restorations - "The GMC Coop"

January 19, 2022

(Update below) Before noon….. I made it!……

……… 41 degrees this morning effects my fingers…….  It’s food I feel cold now and maybe you too……it helps us enjoy and appreciate what Florida give us the rest of the year.  I used to tell my scouts on a campout in the winter…….one would yell out from their tent ” I’m cold”.  I told them to get out of the tent and walk around the tent 5 times without your coat on……..you will feel warm when you go back into your sleeping bag………

The guys have the motor checked out on Mutcedes last week.this motor will be the backup motor for a GMC featured in an upcoming movie.  They have several chase scenes with LT1 prepared chase cars……cant wait to see the movie!Janie and I will be delivering the motor to the set on our way to a short vacation…….should be a blast!

Butt on the ground, Mutcedes is ready for the next drive train road test and the motor and trans team are both ready for their closeup

…….. This set up IS our roller motor, with the profiled “Kryptonice” cam……..FiTech fuel injection, built tranny with 4:10 limited slip gears……..oh boy, I can’t wait……..i appreciate all of the support lately with the interest in the CVF Serpantine belt system.

….. I know you’ve heard me talk about this and yes, it’s a pretty bling addition…this clear finished polish is their lowest priced finish…….. It’s the belt system that make ALL new cars perform.  Ok so why call us?  Why not buy it yourself?  It’s cheaper to buy direct……….NO, it’s not!  Being factory dealers you will not pay more AND we know of and have the addition parts and expertise to help you put this system in your coach.“I don’t wanna spend all that money on bling”…….”if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”…..what else have you listened to on this?  Ask any ASC certified or anyone in the automotive business and they will back me up.  You solve the alternator burning up issue, the power robbing boat anchor A-6 dash AC compressor, a power steering pump with a remote sump AND a big fat belt that never gets out of adjustment.  What % of issues does all that update in you coach mechanically?

And then while all that bracket and belt Crap is out of the way, pitch that pitiful fan shroud “air bugle” , get scrap weight for that copper radiator and replace that hot mess….with an all aluminum “off shelf” 4 row radiator, GM dual thermal, variable speed,  different blade fan box.  Cost is a little more but your future will be much more enjoyable…… Progress has advanced in this areaActually the single fan you see here is for the new dash AC condenser which is the integral system of the new evaporator/heat blower systemyeah, the electrical system has some mods too including the Semlax ACR-160.

Lincoln, your seating is going in and the dash is taking on its look

(Update)

Sorry bout that guys,  I was trapped!

…….note the new steering column.

Ok, I’m late and this is enough……..check out the latest video…..another should show up tomorrow………see ya later
