Vintage RV & Motorhome restorations - "The GMC Coop"

The Co-op: )updating the update?…….Update #3

Geah, spilled over into the first day of fall.  Looks like 1 of the Florida blast furnace doors is shutting, we’re no into the 80′ s……. Pretty soon the snowbirds will be filling the sky…………

So #3 …….I dare say most of us don’t see ourselves full timing in a GMC, although both of my sons have taken up housekeeping one in a Nissan minivan the other in a Mercedes delivery van parked on a partially fenced property out in the California desert……they are truly living it and putting out a very small carbon footprint I can’t say I could do it but think about it this way:  when most folks go on a vacation they spend money, drive rental cars fast and basically play their part as a wasteful vacationing consumer…..if you do those times in a vintage RV, your wastefulness drops when you vacation…….more better and in fact you ARE taking less from the planet to enjoy yourself!

So put away that notion we are being wasteful having fun in a GMC Motorhome.

So today, not last weekend, we are doing the second hit at scanning the molds tat were used to produce our coach, Brian will have his camera again so stay tuned for that report.

My son left back to Palmdale and test flying IAN’s, was great seeing him and meeting his girlfriend………he’s got it going on!

The end of this week is the Monster Transmissions show which should be a hoot and a couple of coaches trying to leave this week so our work is cut out for us.  Its been quite of late on all the social platforms, lets see if we can crank things up a notch.   No, I’m not going to stir the soup on the 1 wire alternator….I think that point was murdered enough but we have other thing was do I hope will be as annoying as some of the other new things we’re doing……hope springs eternal!

Thanks for coming by, this week should be a thing…..we’ll see ya later

(Updating the update):. We’re here and set up…..JayGee will be our headquarters for this session

So we’re here and set up, JayGee will be our headquarters for this sessionweighing is at 35,000 pounds one of the rear hatch molds need a crane to be movednext it gets pressure washed and on this flat bed it will get moved into place for the scanning processhere is the scanning gear and operator setting upso we’re all here on duty…..stay tuned
