The Co-op, Rock the Alps hits the pavement

Was so involved with everything I didn’t get any pics on my phone, I did have Hans roam around with the GoPro so as soon I we figure out how to transport the pics I’ll post them but we did kind of a ‘reveal” like thing you see on the fake news restoration shows on TV.  I mean there was so much put in on both sides that to recognize and make the delivery something special… I think that’s nice.  You remember Bill D. when you picked up Fandango Bill glamour 6

That was a special time too, I drove with Bill back to Georgia to break him in easy on how to drive these things……. today, I’ll be driving around Orlando with Andy, filling LP…. gas, use the maserator and just get them used to the machine.  I’ll also have some of the “101 classes” on different thing for new owners…. we’ll have 2 other “newbees” sitting in on those…. should be fun.

Phillip and Katlin are getting that early Revcon back together…. the front end is together now the discovery on the rear wheels begins  5.19.17 morning 2  Check out these huge wheel studs and lug nuts 5.19.17 morning 3  Check out the reversed leaf spring suspension… not really much movement on theat set up…. betcha it rides on the rough sine…. hey but we’re all spoiled. I’m sure it works well.  The shocks were discontinued…. but of course so my parts supplier did some digging be we found shocks.

Hey and you guys who have been faithful followers with me on our ole carbs….. see, I’m still fitting out babies to coaches…… after @ 2 years, the other one messed up it’s choke spring circuit…… this one though works great now 5.19.17 morning 1  Here I was tuning the carb to the motor and motor with 2 vacuum gauges.  I think I did a Patreon video on that… if not I will soon….. pretty carb isn’t it?  Our carb folks are real wizards keeping these things on spec and working.  Hey though, I have to say now the REAL fix is to install FiTech fuel injection but these still do the job  FiTech 26OK, time for breakfast… gotta go.  I’ll be working all weekend so be sure to stop by …. see ya then.
