Beastmaster

This is my 1st RV re-model. I am a Master Carpenter specializing in Victorian restoration.and was a theater stage scenic designer and builder for almost 30yrs. With this project I am using every skill I ever acquired over the years to complete it. Made it a lot easier to deal with when I realized it's just another home re-model, albeit a small one.

Greetings from The Beastmaster. I just joined up and wanted to just say Hi. And introduce you to The Beast. A 1973 GMC 26ft motor coach that I am rebuilding from the ground up. So far the drive train from the radiator cap to the tail pipe has been replaced with new components and the rear suspension has been rebuilt and upgraded. So mileage is less than 3000 miles right now on a new engine, Olds 455 with TBI fuel injection, new transaxle as will as 3" headers and pipes. I stripped out the old rotting interior of 2000lbs of delaminating plywood and other non functioning items like A/C, both vent fans, all the plumbing vent caps, all the clearance lights. Added a new power supply/charger. Now I am re-wiring, installing plumbing and defining the spaces. And chasing little pin hole leaks from old rivets and past remodels. I hope to have The Beast on the road again by May of this year for the summer music festivals of N. Calif.
