Vintage RV & Motorhome restorations - "The GMC Coop"

The Co-op: Baby Blues dash is in………..

Bb had a nice dash before but now improved it’s down to business nowthe steering column dropped driving position is much nicer.  A minimum of switches and very clean…

It’s been a dash frenzy for me here lately, not only BB’s dash but here’s Marco’s custom dash build.see the FiTech readout panel also with a black sytled bezel.

Then there’s Tail Gator and its 18 year old ….restored dash with its new DVD, CD, blue tooth, 7″ screen motorized DIN radioin carbon fiber black.

TAli Gator is getting its final touches before hitting the road for a year long family trip.cHeck out that outside storage space!…..Check out the under sofa infrastructure cabinet in Tail Gator…..everything had to come out of the back for the trunkaor ride system, electrals, a living area battery, etc….

There ‘ s Ruby’s buff MacDaddy superdashand Ruby’s interior including her super clean galley.

There’s the “Tin Soldier” low rider.Ywe, that’s epoxy bed liner on the body and his dash is on the out of the box side…..

BAnd don’t forget our coach “JayGee” , brought him in this past weekend to finish out the “IKEA kitchen” I had been working on.

An unconventional coach, I wanted to see what it would be to modify and build in a knock down “mini kitchen” as Ikea calls it.  Its certainly not what most think of as a proper galley cabinet….. the end project proved out yes, it can be done….$206 in hardware, $79 for the toaster oven/coffee maker/grill and $50 in misc hardware, slides and storage trays.  25 hours in labor to build the platform, back wall, plumbing and power…..style is of a restaurant, efficient cooking and cleaning center.and with storage out on their full slides.we’ll probably install a pull our faucet head upgrade later and we’ll add a flip out side table that doubles as a sofa end panel when down.  Like I said not your normal motorhome galley but it works and has its own look.  Labor made the kitchen not a cheap refit but what is that’s worth it?  I should have JayGee at the upcoming GMCMI convention in Tallahassee.

His dash came from Gatorland

Tuesday….hump day for a 4 day work week….should be a good one.  Finishing out a coach while bringing another mechanical update coming in…….and the beat goes on………

Ill try and talk more tomorrow…..Heck they’ve got me out there working!   Push that rock……feed your head…..send layers, gun and money…….. ……. see ya later
