Vintage RV & Motorhome restorations - "The GMC Coop"

You are here: Home / The Daily Pose / Better late than never I guess, it all has to do with all the changes around here………

December 14, 2021

Better late than never I guess, it all has to do with all the changes around here………

……….  And then a flurry of call……good hearing it all but it makes me behind…..hey, I’m in no hurry!

An update on the aluminum fuel tank cratingTig is now fitting the crate top with sides.  We REALLY want it to get there undamagedBoom….yeah we’ve done as much as WE can do!  The next bath of a pair of tanks will be here in another week…….stand by guys.

So on “video shoot” day, we took this coach in today for the final touch of a complete new front suspension, 4 bogy pins, quad bag system and all new brakes.  What’s next?  An alignment…….a decommissioned 23′ ambulance will go to its next duty.  The video talks about the specification we go by and why…..watch for the why part, so many folks have specs they feel works…for them.  Alignments do not need to be a black hole….it just takes staying on a narrow trail…… It WILL drive well, lemme help ya……watch the video…oh yeah and I gotta tell ya if put 30 years of fretting about alignments.

So a 34 mile drive “like I stole it” and this puppy is going home.  One again the Q spins……  Another coach comes in….stay tuned

The 1975 “Rock the Alps” is on the road.  After how long?  Andy and friend could not simple fly in from Switzerland to have fun with their baby……. I’ll do more pics when the come off their holiday… I caught them at Ray’s Deli loading up on food heading to west Florida.  We have another coach waiting for their owners to come from Europe to play again…….  Hey, nice coach……..

so one out and a new project in…..theres hope!  The motor should fire in the Mutcedes tomorrow…..oh boy….talk to ya then

and “Snowflake” did his first parts run…..hey, it’s got a great ac!  Welcome to the family…….
