Vintage RV & Motorhome restorations - "The GMC Coop"

The Co-op: Firsts come in all shapes ans sizes……

and I showed this 1 the other day but it will leave here with NO roof AC or any AC of any kind!  And no generator!  The sky could be falling!In fact, we are pulling both the generator and LP compartment enclosures to make side to side opening outside storage..Being outfitted for its new owners in Europe, AC ….they tell me….is not needed.  Being a native Floridian that’ not within my possibilities hey but we can certainly do all that and it will be awesome!

Stay tuned as we open the railroad line coast-to-coast and get this puppy ready to ship…..

Thought I would stay on this unique project today……the rest of you guys rest easy knowing the more we get done here the closer we get to finishing yours……..

Specified a retro look headliner and outer walls….you know that foam backed perforated vinyl headliner material that held odors and the foam fell apart….yeah, that stuff!

Ah, we can’t do that!  I would “do” perforated vinyl without the foam backing OR the holes going thru the material!  Found some…… That’s really important for longevity.  Wrapping our new construction style “sectioned” headliner construction and our new construction style window closeouts I think we achieved “retro” and still made a reliable finish.and man this way the headliner comes out straight as an arrowand looking again at that last pic, we’re looking into another (from another industry) crossing another refinishing process to the interior walls of this interior.  The goal is to create an early style interior…like thisas you can see we’re converting a late model Palm Beach coach interior into an early model ….Sequoia look retro interior.  Again, never done THAT before so there’s another first with this project!  Kinda like reshaping Abraham Lincoln to look like George Washington.   Hey, an interesting tribute project………We’re thinking about “wrapping” the interior as you would the outside of a car for advertising or whatever.  Out of the box?  Somebody has to try it so we might…….stay tuned…….. NOW… let the nay sayers pick THIS one apart!  Like I said stay tuned.  We have done something similar with good results……..lets see what happens here!

Gotta go….see ya

Jared told they guys they were marrying those compartment covers…..in the guys defense…..by 77′ they figured out that fumes from the generator and road were not good Ang really buggered down those fiberglass 1 piece covers!  I’ll show how it went tomorrow.

So yeah ….I’m late getting a sweat up so I need to pitch in out there……..Haven fun….wish u were here…………I’ d put U to work’s
