Get your motors running!

So I recently purchase an amazing Edelbrock P600 poly 318 intake.

Now I don't know much about motors (yet) but I know this is pretty cool and is really going to make myrtle purr. Check out the hot picture!

a waxing we will go...

So Jason spent the day waxing ol'Myrtle into a gleaming shine while I vacuumed up the debris inside from the previous wall scraping and sanding. Check out the new photos. (You can see in the one of Myrtle's exterior that all of her chrome is off the front as we are fixing that up too. Poor girl is out with out her make up on!)

Decorative touches

In these photos you will see the following:

#1 the AMAZING vintage jacquard curtains for the living/dining room side windows

#2 a sample of my vintage melmac dish set in turquoise and starburst pattern. also included are the curtains that will adorn the front wind shield area (for privacy when parked), and Armstrong vinyl floor tiles

#3 the bedroom color palette which includes the solid turquoise bedspread, another blanket, and curtains (the ones with the triangles)

#4 the approximate coloring that the wood veneer wall panels will be stained

Exterior photos

You can see some color difference in these photos. The rear view has had cutting compound, polishing compound an buffing, and there is still waxing to go! It has really livened up the color!

More photos

Today we finished up the metal trim between the ceiling panels. I continued on the holy grail of scraping the old varnish off of the existing walls that we are keeping. It is hard work but is quicker and better than sanding.

The first photo is the double bed area in the back, with a storage area underneath. The 2nd is the driver seat/dash area. In this picture, you can see the black interlocking matting we are going to use instead of carpeting under the front seats. The 3rd is a longview from the back to the front of the motor home interior. The last picture shows the new wood veneer panelling, under the double cone light. The wood panel on the wall the kitchen divider is original and is being scraped so the new and old panels can be stained one color. You can also glimpse the super cute kitchen with original fridge, & stove/oven etc
