Vintage RV & Motorhome restorations - "The GMC Coop"

Best Dressed Man

The goal of this project was not to build up the most outrageous machine on the road, to outdo our last creation but to simply bring together a list of options wrapped up into a clean looking package.  Conservative, if you will but how do you call a GMC with everything in this baby “conservative.  That’s why I feel the name fits.

   

This coach came to us from Virginia dropped from a flat bed, in well rough shape.  What can you say, years of waiting for the day to make it into something had taken it’s toll.    But hey, thats why they bring them to us.  I mean if this were easy, they would do it at Jiffy Lube!

As we dug into the coach we found more pearls of joy, rotted floors and all       Mechanically, it was a mess but again it’s what we do best.  The dash fell away in our hands but again thats our challenge  

The exterior was no less a challenge– from this sort of damage repair to this before a block sand, colors picked and then applied and cleared   From there it went into trim where the interior was stripped before the rebuild began and kept on and on .  Alls well that ends well and the interior came out nice.

Thanks to Jim for hanging with us through the project, thanks for his working through the issues and for his friendship.
