Vintage RV & Motorhome restorations - "The GMC Coop"

You are here: Home / The Daily Pose / The Co-op: Hey, what’s going on…….

October 6, 2017

The Co-op: Hey, what’s going on…….

Hey so where have I been?  Hey, I’ve had a hole in my day too….. for the past 2 days, I’ve had to renew my Hazmat shipping permits by taking a 2 day refresher class.  This time the class was held @ 4 miles from the shop made things easy… I could go home at night but right up there with loosing my wallet….. taking a federal test always creates a bit of stress so believe me when I tell you I’ve not had fun…. It was nice to get cleaned up for a couple of days though…… the guys thought I cleaned up pretty good  10.6.17 morning 11  I may need to leave more often though… the guys really busted it while I was gone……  Allan R. coach got finished up for delivery plugged in and ready for them to move in 10.6.17 morning 10  they had scheduled to fly in @ 6pm.  Knowing how hectic “delivery day” is, the guys did a great job.  Allen’s dash is complete with a new Mac dash, motorized 7″ LCD/DVD/Blue tooth/cool radio…. 10.6.17 morning 15  New carpet and reupholstered original front seats with an added air lumbar feature  10.6.17 morning 3 in fact all new upholstery throughout the coach  10.6.17 morning 5  Using an original pattern, we reproduced an original flip table to go with the original swivel barrel chairs…. they were going for an original interior feel  10.6.17 morning 2  Allen, travels international .. said this flight in from New Zeland was the 48th international flight this year!  Not bragging but saying his life is so crazy this motorhome is his time away.  Now he will travel having a “holiday” in the US. 

Hey Andy, they remind me of your coach and travelling rig…. He has a scooter rack on the back  10.6.17 morning 9with guess what……… yep and it’s white  10.6.17 morning 7. Andy-happy-1 Coming in just before dark…… they made it and his coach will now be their home  10.6.17 morning 1  The guys also cleaned up the “delivery day trash” …. I mean getting to the end you are just working fast and things get messy.  man look at hos clean they have the place  10.6.17 morning 6

So that’s what’s been going on……… we’ve been busy.  This isn’t all, Steve M. coach is off the lift, the photo boot Airstream hit’s a red letter day and man the beat goes on.  Will be spending more time here on our site trying to get things back up.  Our Patreon.com page “Motorhome Rehab Ranch” format was shook up a bit and with our in house web crawler now gone we have to tighten up our web presence……. we also are reaching out to other projects for down the road.  Things are happening here… good things and I sure appreciate the support  that’s been thrown our way.  It’s about time but after watching and waiting for over 20 years, the GMC platform is truly been rediscovered and reinvented.  Didn’t think it would take this long… I mean I had brown hair when this started but it’s been a fun trip anyway.  Today….. that next generation is all over our machines…. We have really become the “cheapest toy in the box”.  I mean anything worth having in the RV world you’re going to drop $100K….. cheack it out so folks who ARE discriminating on what they put their entertainment money into are flocking to the GMC.  For less than… maybe equal too but still you have a custom road rocket that you will really like…. THAT’S a renovated GMC Motorhome!  And that secret is now out!  Allen lives primarily in New Zeland and his idea of a fun holiday is taking off in his baddass GMC…. There ya go…. I have many out there doing the same thing….. Hey Justin H., are ya listening?  Justin and his new wife are on honeymoon in their now mechanically sound “survivor” Justin out 7  Having a good time… caling and working through some issues but hey, it’s part of life but his coach too is the major focus of their life together……. there ya are again…and again…..  there’s where the GMC Motorhome will go next.  “Back to the Future”  they are still as valid a great way of life as they were when they first came out and that new generation is seeing what all of us Ole fogies saw in the beginning….. So there it is…. it’s way past a club all huddled together quibbling on the internet on how cheap they can buy a part of who is more knowledgeable.  Brother it’s way past that now……… that’s where we here at the Co-op are going…. follow if you like…..it’s certainly going to be a blast!

Sorry for irritating you not posting for 2 day… hey, it effected me too.  So all is good… lets all go back to sleep and have a great weekend……. see ya later.
