Hi Everyone,
My wife and I bought our 1976 Monaco Class C for $500 from the original owner's widow. He kept immaculate care of the rig and made sure to seal the roof every two years....never had a leak. The 360 is currently being rebuilt and upgraded with a beefier cam and 4BBL. The engine shop has a dyno, so the engine will be broken in and dyno'd, so it will be ready to go, when I install it.
The LoadFlite 727 has been rebuilt, as have the driveshafts that were severely out of balance. I got rid of the 16.5" wheels in favor of 16" and 225/75/16 BFGoodrich Commercial All Season TA 2 tires.
The Monaco is currently at an RV furniture shop getting the interior completely redone...new vinyl floor, new carpet, new cushions, new cab-over mattress, day/night pleated shades, valances, and the cab has been reupholstered as well.
I took pics of the progress so far, but they're not that great. It doesn't matter, though, because apparently I'm not able to upload pics here.
WOW! Sounds like it'll be better than new when you're done. The engine shop you're using sound like they know what they're doing.
RE Photos, I've been using a paid subscription from these guys for the last 18 years with no problems what so ever. I think I pay $23.95 per year, and all my photos have safe all these years.
www.fototime.com They also have a free service so you can try them out, but your photos will get purged every so often.
