Vintage RV & Motorhome restorations - "The GMC Coop"

Oops, lost time this morning…….. Lets call this a luncheon

……..This morning I got carried away with all of the coaches an new GMC converts on Facebook.  I’ve been criticized for no longer having a presence on a few of the other forums.  Actually I do see all that Crap but only comment here or on a few of the forums that are targeting those that want to objectively discuss issues.

3 of the forums I monitor are being invaded by new owners and wannabes.  That’s awesome and those are the folks looking for many of the things we offer.  There’s no need to banter theory and see who can blow themselves big enough to dominate a thread.  All that is so superficial.

So all you new guys…..welcome.  Don’t micromanage what it will take to make one of these for your own.  The big picture is there is no other vehicle new or used that can be made to be what you want for less investment.  If you understand this wether you spend $5000 or $10000 for a core is less important than what you have to work with.

But even finding more thing than you had anticipated…..the total investment will STILL be less than doing it any other way.

And if you understand THIS then you’ve been selected to get involved.  And…..when you make THAT decision well then there’s only one decision to make.

Can you justify the work going into this coach?  A total restoration, the paint is stunningyes, the exterior isn’t finished yet.  The paint has cured enough for the guys to work it……how far do YOU go to achieve quality?

This coach will be a $100-200,000 investment……and the finished product will have more appeal, comfort and easy of maintenance for less money than again having a quality vehicle for this purpose.

Now you don’t have to do that ….but you can and in any way you find makes you happy still, you will end up spending less money.  You don’t buy much new for $100,000.

Here it is almost lunch.. .rats, I’ll be here again tomorrow…….have a great day
