GMC Motorhome, Cal’s first bath and more…

WOW.. already 294 of you out there at 6am….. there are more early risers out there like me than I figured!  Rock on there early force….

Everyone has to have their first bath and the first washdown on a new paint job gives a first look at the finished product.  Still waiting for the roof pod install , his new tires got trued and balanced Friday

   before install and we still have the bumpers to finish up but hey…. that didn’t stop pulling the coach into the daylight to take the brush to it.  What an honor….  And here are a few pics of that event:

  Boy that “raccoon” blackout window treatment sure pops!  His new LED tail light kit and the 3 only top clearance lights have the look   Today, DOT says you don’t even need to put in top clearance lights so 3 small superbrights give it that unique look.  The gator hide trim on his entry door is done   The body side molding will change the look again after we do a little wet sand and buff out work…    that comes soon but as you can see…… we’re pretty close.    Stay tuned.  Back inside… what a looker… clean and smooth

On another front, Bob G. is getting a new fuel delivery system  The sun was low but you can see how badly crushed his rotted fuel hoses were  hey and what the heck is that on the pipe going into the rear tank?    Looks like the filler elbow really fell apart   Yep, ethanol fuel did that.. and the rest of the rubber under there wasn’t much better   The tanks will be sent out for cleaning and pressure testing but soon Bob’s coach WILL actually run of the fuel system… it runs right now pretty well off a boat tank.  Check out the scuffing the fuel lines were putting on the aluminum underside of the floor   Why you ask… because the body pads are crushed and falling out    nice clean straight frame rails though….. “good bones”   Taking Bob’s place over to the right in the last pic is a new project on an under 50K miles 23′ Birchaven   Watch this unique project as it rolls out.  Not gonna tell ya what will make these mechanicals unique… you’ll just havta watch…. lemme say it’s something that’s never been done….

And in the middle off all this I still had time for a Sunday morning motorbike ride….. it’s hot right now here in Florida but hey, put the wind in your face and it’s all good!  It’s going to be another hot, awesome week here in Florida…. stay tuned hey and drop by if you’re in the area…. first nights free and where can you stay in Orlando for $10 a night AND see and have all of this fun?  See ya tomorrow…..
