Vintage RV & Motorhome restorations - "The GMC Coop"

You are here: Home / The Daily Pose / The 🇺🇸 Co-op:: Hey, it could be worse…..could be chilly and raining……

April 24, 2020

The 🇺🇸 Co-op:: Hey, it could be worse…..could be chilly and raining……

……Oh, it IS doing that too.  And of course I have a leakhey, water leaks are a constant thing with a flexible body.  Actually this leak is a seam in the 4 piece early style “break apart” window frame.  Thought I got it…… We’ll try again but until then Tupperware is my friend.

My intention this morning is to show a steering column replacement…….but of course the coach is outsidethat’s it under the green light.  This column comes out of the custom car industry.  Look them up (Flaming River).  They build only the higher end components.  There are cheaper ones but not with all the options….locking ignition key, emergency flashers, turn signals, tilt, shift indicator, correct length and an own GM harness……cost is @ $1000 plus of course the labor to interface it into the coach.

Let me wait a little til the rain lets up for some pics.

It’s a lazy, rainy normal day off even Eleganza turned off the alarm clockshe looks up when I came in……WHAT!  On her custom made bed, next to her diamond plate food box bowls ready to accept any food I’d like to put there……..shes the queen of this castle!  I tell you the perfect shop dog…..excepr she sees any other 4 legged critter as food.  She picked that up long before she walked into our lives so we just have to accommodate……….loves us 2 legged critter though, especially kids, after all the need was nicknamed the “nanny dog” which she sure is.  She likes donuts too………..

Our back office has lights on, this was the body that the front frame clip made “Mutcedes”Knowing we were shutting down, we ordered in a 30 yard dumpster and dropped this body in place to start to clean up the yard.made space to bring another coach onto the property.  At the least it will make a great tool room !  Was it a waste of time doing that…. …….it was fun!  And why not!I can tell todays post is getting too long, my phone is freaking out.  Let me do pics of the Flaming River steering column on another post……..talk to ya then
