GMC Motorhome: It’s a BOY… “Corvey is his name….

Calling this time of any restoration the “delivery” is sooo right on.  JD told me it’s the same way with the military flight simulators he oversees …. doesn’t make that time any less traumatic!  There have been so many upgrades…. so much was taken apart and put back together… I mean HOW do you doublecheck all of that stuff to be sure all is good…. just such a crazy time…. Hey… and calling that before time before the grand event “Labor”…. need I say more?  We all feel it at the shop and when that adrenalin gets going in the team mannnnnnn, that’s agreat thing to be a part of.  It’s no “when is lunch break?” crap…. it’s get-r-done time, it’s a part of everyones life and it needs to go well.

“Go Well” .. most do not birth easily, can you imagine natural child birth of a kid the size of 2 elephants?  No, you usually don’t want to be there for what it takes to pop one if THESE out the door!   So for the last say 5 days sorry but it’s all been about Corvey.  BTW, it was named in tribute to the classic of all pace cars (arguably but stated by Wikipedia) the 2007 Indianapolis 500 Corvette  JD finals 10  I’d like to introduce to you 

Corvey

From it’s “red line” rims to the Corvette “torch red” striping Corvey says I’m all in.  20170901_173159

20170901_173146Even as the delivery was happening we knew this one was “bad to the bone” as George T. once wrote a song about   20170901_172454 “The head nurse looked up….  … said leave this one alone.. she knew right away ….he was bad to the bone…..”  20170831_202035  20170901_172506

So JD was telling me there was a pool going at the waterjug WHEN or even WAS there a motorhome?  OK boys, shell it out……. the one who persists gets the prize

GMC Motorhome: It’s a boy… “Corvey” is his name

Sorry for not posting the last day or so, you will see why.  Naming this time of a restoration “Delivery Day” is soooo appropriate!  Most do not come naturally… can you imagine birthing a kid the size of 2 elephants?  Most are induced and the time before the newborn hits the streets there will be some LABOR!  Well I have the proud news that “Carvey” is on the streets of America today… last night was the first night out of our “big house”.  Last minute stuff, just so many things have been renewed all at the same time…. so much to make sure about.  So let me give you a few pics of Carvey named after the colors and lineout are tributes to the 50th Anniversary Corvette.  JD finals 10Boys and girls… let me introduce you to
