Vintage RV & Motorhome restorations - "The GMC Coop"

You are here: Home / The Daily Pose / (Updated) I hate to report and it took me a day of soul searching but there’s no way to say it than………

October 7, 2022

(Updated) I hate to report and it took me a day of soul searching but there’s no way to say it than………

………..Ralph is moving to South Georgia

Details to follow but let’s just say the red clay back roads of S. Georgia is a great place for him to find pasture…….solong dear friend…..

There was a thread going recently about the “toll booth windows” that we had offered in the past. I may have gotten too far into why the GMC community is Loosing options that we used to have and I really feel this point is important.

Why would any investor bet that a niche market such as ours could generate enough business to make their investment profitable when a vocal few work seemingly hard to derail any chance to attract investment capital?

Simple, no…..they will invest in aerobics sub before investing in a produce that some carne can destroy sales. Look around, what do you think the atmosphere has been since COVID? It’s been a struggle. Not for business……we can’t make any more commitments……its finding people to do a competent job and the money to afford them and the parts to do the project. We have lost so much over the last say 3 years. Think about it if you were here and if you weren’t many great ideas were shot in the foot by the few naysayers that permeate our community. Ok I’m stopping because now we are on the emerging side of things as opposed to being exposed to whims. In time, I hope to win back things but the future will be a different place in this community.

Gone are the days of troubleshooting a problem and fixing things. Today it’s all past its envelope of use…..brother just because it’s still working doesn’t mean it’s not broken!

..emily, the new member of our dream team finally got a clear title to her new pride and joy……as soon as the 6 years of Florida fungus gets blown off

oops, haven’t learned how to dump a pic yet……here it is

A pretty nice machine has a “wrap” interior restoration in the 90’s, there’s alote left…….stay tuned
