    Belt line trim

    It looks like I have the better belt design with a 76 Elly 2. The beltline is in decent shape except for the end conditions around the side marker lights. So I’m thinking I need the whole trim replaced then??

    Belt line trim

    My bad, I have a 76 Eleganza 2 for the trim type.

    Belt line trim

    Is the beltline trim glued on or are there clips?

    So what did you do to your GMC today?

    I took advantage of a rare cloudy day in Tucson, and polished the silver stripe just above the beltline (I'll do the rest today). I used a new to me product; Griot's Garage Ceramic All in One polish. It is the first product I have found that actually evens up the color on the metallic silver...

    The original GMC Motorhome interiors

    My grandfather loved his VW and would put those badges everywhere. From his golftcarts to his GMC motorhome. He had a box of them ready to go as soon as he got a new toy or project! I definitely want to put a bigger couch where the buddy seat is. I think the buddy seat is only big enough for...

    The original GMC Motorhome interiors

    ...job. I do see some trim modifications from stock like your grill and headlight covers are all silver instead of silver and black and your beltline trim is blue instead of black. And what's up with the VW nose badge??? If you still have original paint, it might be worthwhile touching it up in...

    Door does not latch, loose

    I disagree.. sort of. I DO agree that middle aged spread is a problem. But I disagree that is causes any latching problems. what it does do is prevent the top and bottom of the door from sealing. The latch striker is the real problem. I think it was an issue from the factory, prove me wrong...

    Door does not latch, loose

    ...Jim Bounds may have a video on it as well. I'm pretty sure that the root cause for most situations is that the coach has 'bulged' at the beltline. In that case, for the door/latch dimension to be correct, the door has to be bent out at the center to match the coach. My coach definetly...

    From the inside. Chipmonk cheeks

    It must have been a different year, mine has no frame behind the beltline, you can see the screws for the beltline 3 inches above the floor in the pictures above

    From the inside. Chipmonk cheeks

    When the floor is out is the best time to fix the cheeks. since my 75 has no frame behind the beltline driving screws in wont work, its not the best solution anyway. So I cleaned and sanded the frame and the body, applied a generous amount of 3m 08115 panel bond, then clamped it. This is how...

    Converting to LiFePO4 batteries and Sailor Man's LiFePO4 Build

    I thought that you might want to see how the Zip Dee Slide Bar functions. I raises the lower connection point for the Zip Dee awning support arm. This reduces the possible collision for someone walking out from under the awning when near the coach. In the case of the GMC Motorhome, I think that...

    Exposed aluminum ok?

    ...on that side until I get it refinished. I believe this off-season may be the time to pull the trigger on my original plan of an above-the-beltline 3M/vinyl wrap instead of new paint, although that Airstream idea is SO very interesting. If I changed the 1/2 wrap every 5-8 years, it may cost...

    Fire extinguisher location

    ...out of the coach. There are more GMC'S. John Richardson's Avion was a total loss in less than 5 minutes. He exhausted 2 fire extinguishers and a fire truck responding to another fire 1/2 miles away was unable to stop the fire. It burned to the beltline. -- 2012 Phoenix Cruiser model 2552 KA4CSG

    Chipmonk Cheeks

    ...one of our members, a professional Corvette restoration expert, demonstrated his method for that project: He removed the rubber from the beltline rub strip and concealed beneath it some screws/bolts into the interior frame. That allowed him to pull the cheeks back into alignment. Then, with...

    Considering a '73 model

    ...- Cockpit HVAC system barely functional (the second era was a little better and the third era was decent but not great). - Side joints at beltline more prone to leaking. - House window casings more prone to leaking. - Lower-capacity house electrical system. Note: In mid-77 the engine changed...
