Vintage RV & Motorhome restorations - "The GMC Coop"

I’m first for once

Now it’s true the sun IS coming up later but pulling in to a closed gate even though it was dark is for me unusual 10.9.15-lot  That’s not the sun coming up it’s a street light… gate close and no one home no wait…. there’s Ralph in the pic taking a morning walk!  See that, we’re never alone.  Ralph has the penthouse suite as many of you have spent the night on the lift.  Ralph, a 2 month old owner, came in to say help me out here guys.  Was kinda like a B-52 coming in from a bombing run shot up but the Capt. was eager to get back out there in the fight.

His problem is on his 74 coach… where to start!  Many issues but basically a solid survivor.  The “B’s & B’s” will always come first.  Front knuckles were loose so you know where that leads, the rear bearings were pitted and blue which means this war horse is close to it’s last measure.  Some rear wheel brake work and a new brake master cylinder this morning & we thing he can fly again. 

Please allow me to brag a little on another child of mine.  Here is the new full color brochure just received for Fire Fight Products:

Brochure-2015-1     Brochure-2015-2

Most of you probably know but some may not, the original engineer of these auto deploy automotice fire suppression systems bought a GMC motorhome and felt there were fire measures our coaches needed to be safe. Ralph-&-JIm--seminar That’s Ralph with me doing a seminar at the Last Sunshine Statesmen rally before his death.  Thanks to some finanical help from a GMC owner, were were able to keep the business going and it’s been growing.  Syill, Fire Fight Produces is the only company targeting the automotive market with supplimental auto deploy fire measures.  I gotta tell you guys, if you travel in a car, truck, bus, motorhome or whatever you need to think about what you would do if a fire comes up.  “Insurance” will not save your life when something bad happens.  Anyway, print out and pass on our prochure if you know someone interested.  Thanks agin for the support :

Chuck, your fuel doors are done, Kevin is hanging them today
