Vintage RV & Motorhome restorations - "The GMC Coop"

Translucent solid surface countertops

A big launch yesterday, in the upcoming weeks I’d ask to give me your comments and suggestions on our “molds” project, it all happens with you.

So yesterday hours worth of working with very expensive materials…..no mistakes….. in building Texas Tux countertops and if we can pull off everyone’s plans you will see this coach at the upcoming GMCMI convention.  We are in those final stages now.  Jared got jiggy in the cabinet shop to pull this off.   with the old maroon laminate galley countertop I made when I restored Texas Tux 19 years ago now…..we move on up in finish.  this is the new translucent solid surface material by Avonite.  Made of bowling ball material, you get deep 3d paternal but the real fun is it passes color thru it.  Here is a flashlight sitting in a drawer under another one of these new countertops .  we’re planning to have 256 color led light under these countertops to actually change the countertop color…..why?  Because we can…..   and check out the color matched floor and cabinet doors……  I’m works on something special on the new systems monitor panel….stay tuned.

Ok, it’s hot down here in the sunny south….sweated 2 shirts past saturation yesterday.  When you get superhot like that fans only spread out the humidity more evenly!  I’m gonna get out there while it’s dark……cooler work.

Phillip is still with his family up north as it should be.  Kaitlyn And Nicis keeping mechanical output going……we miss ya buddy……. Hey, the heat is on and were fighting back…..see ya tomorrow .
