Cheap Diesel too!

So how many of you find a sign like this at your vehicles watering hole?  Yeah, $1.99 for regular but diesel $2.28… Wow, we need to get these Turbo Diesel projects on the road!  Go back to the front page and look at the opening pic I took yesterday morning.  An update on that…. Manny has 2 of his “lab rats” at the Western States rally this week.  After that he comes here and 2 Hum V 6.5 turbo diesel motors are slated to come to us for labor documentation.  To now, the motor company actually purchased a GMC and did the modifications themselves along with Manny’s help so now that 3 are on the road it’s time to figure out what it takes in labor to do this project.  Here are the front clips ready to build up frame-build-13 descales, pressure washed and coated with POR-15 these are really good condition front clips that will built completely new  frame-build-2  Like I said, we are in the front nd of an awesome upgrade for the GMC… with this we will be able to go “reliable diesel”.  Reliable in that there is o computer and a motor that’s made to work during an EM blast.  That’s a nuclear fallout!  All that’s needed is to interface this (literally) bulletproof motor to our classic motorhome… that can be done and we’re the folks that can do that.  This is a big deal so stay tuned…

That’s not all of course arounf here, David G.’s “Chauncey is getting it’s ZipDee armless electric awning today,, stay tuned for that plus more interiori shot of the coach.  Ron K. “MoHo” is still in Kevin’s cocoon but there is progress, stay tuned for that and well… just stay tuned for all of it.. man it’s wild arounf here.

Got 1 pic processes, here Kevin is doing the finish sanding on his new bumpers Ron-bumpers-7  Man those things are smooth!

Thanks for the visit, see ya later today I hope…
