The Co-op: (UPDATED) Man have i got a pile to catch up on!

Ah ha! The flippen phone posted a pic…..well good morning twinkletoes!  Its 7:30P bloody M!  Now let’s try and throw it at the web….Ha, I think it worked…Oh how we miss things we used to take for granted.  Before little LG here was servicing me well….guys its time to spend more money and upgrade something….

So tonight, while Janie is with her Mom……hey Mary!  Janie reads this mess too.  So tonight I want to catch up several folks that have project here with us where we are.  One thing about this is I’ve been forced because of the scope of our projects we have to say there’s no time for sure when things will be finished so it’s understanble that they want to see their babies.  Some of the projects are deep in their cocoonw.hole others are closing in like this Airstream.We’re etching off the original clear coating on the aluminum the goal is to not polish but to get a “mill” finish……..stay tuned on what they guys dothe interior is the big deal on this project…..down to the floor supports, the floor and all the walls and cabinets were built then the entire interior was epoxy texture coatedSaid it before but….stay tuned

So the first pic today…..go look…. is bringing back a “Survivor” back to the road…… Next project is getting the Ole Troll On an generator fired up making power.We have points throwing a ground…..needed 3 quarts of oil…. The carb gaskets cracked taking it outwe rebuild the critter with a Welbro rebuild gasket set.  We have fuel….we have fire….we have ignition.and we have oil spitting out of the air exhaust.  That’s a dried out and leaking main output seal…..that’s behind the flywheel.Man that Ole Troll woke up, adjusted to 120vac and heals a load….Wiper…it works, today.  Its an old machine, work up like Rumplstilkskin….lets see what happensCleaned and painted valve covers on….a.c. Bracket outa here.  Electrolevel air ride system, quad bag system cycled down….up …..and travel.  Check that off the punch list.  The adjustable air ride rear suspension is a huge aid in dialing in you STEERABILITY.  If yours doesn’t  work…..work on itThe Argosy is getting closer to the door.  Orange accents, should stand out in a crowdYep, the rear storage bumper is Orange too...Here Jason is repairing the front side panels of Chris M. Coach before they get the epoxy retexture finish.  For you guys who have worked with these panels, note the back edge slot where the first living area panels locks in is cut off.  To make it possible to remove this plastic panel, the first panel will be connected with an “H mold” or divider bar trimAnd yes, plastic trash cans make great work tables!

Jeff M., I’ve already relinquished the use of Mutcades to run up your motor and transmission first…..stay tuned..Hey, its a big sacrifice not having this thing to tool around in!  Hurry Phillip, get these drive trains tested so I can have my car back!  Yep, can’t wait to break that new roller cam, Monster transmission matchup……Giddiup there Mutsades………….

Ok, gotta get to work, big things are always just around the corner…..keep watching for them…..thanks for dropping by.
