I got to tour Bob's creation this week when I stopped up for a visit. Anyone wanting to know what a modern take on a GMC would be should talk to Bob!
The rear bath he created is amazing, and every where you turn there is something impressive. Of course, I'm partial to the one piece headliner, which
I got to help install this spring. Would like that in my coach!

The exterior has simple updates to its appearance, such as a new rub strip, mirrors, and LED lights from JimK.

All I can say is wow.

Congrats on completion!
I'm jealous.
Do you have a good set of complete photos posted anywhere? I'd love to see it.

I saw the last one, looking forward to seeing this one. You youngsters can spend some time buzzing around the country. Please let me know when
you're headed for Road Atlanta!
