I love the steering wheel, with GMC on the hub/button.

[@GSC727]

Nice job wrapping that wheel! It's exactly what I want.

[@IndustriousPursuits]

Thanks! 👍

[@DavidGuilbaultSongs]

Hey. I'm the guy that bought the furniture from Danny, because, ya know ("You shouldn't be throwing this stuff away." Cheers. David.

I just found this series and I've really been enjoying it, but I was over the moon when I noticed the FlexPlay episode of Technology Connections in your suggested video list!

[@dudeofrare]

That same steering wheel also came in a Factory Leather Wrap. My 1989 GMC Jimmy 4WD had the leather wrapped version. Most 84-1994 non air bag Chevy/GMC truck, Buick, Oldsmobile & Cadillac wheels have a leather wrap version.

Next time soak the leather in water and then work with it. When the leather dries, it'll shrink and look nice and tight.

[@sherry-ml7zw]

and it costs less todo it your self n you get the joy of knowing u did it to your liking kool.......

[@Nick_the_Troubadour]

A lot of these old motorhomes had flexsteel brand captains chairs and seeding and they are just amazing

[@branchsnapper2228]

Agreed wet the leather in warm water, sew it and as it dries it will tighten right up

[@GMCPB]

Nice Video. Just FYI, the refrigerator vent you have seen on earlier coaches is a add on when the owners converted the fridge from compressor type to gas absorption.

[@IndustriousPursuits]

Good to know. Thank you.

[@josephheston9238]

GM has been building fiberglass and aluminum vehicles for a long time (the Corvette and Fishbowl come to mind).

[@johnpiegzik298]

Great channel and great project I hope you do more videos you’re really good with the camera keep up the good work

[@svalenti94]

great video. loving every sec of this build. Be sure to check the chain drive on the trans axle. Also id consider a holly efi system to help get more reliable power out of that engine...or consider an engine swap for more efficiency. Just beware of a diesel swap and the supporting modifications needed

[@JohnDStrand]

Love your videos! Informative and easy to follow. I really love your OCD! And it shows in your designs and products. Hope the Bag company is working out.

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

I should probably be working on the bag company instead of making videos about rebuilding a 40 year old Motorhome. The bag is for sale on Amazon. I sell a couple per month. I need to create a marketing drive for it.

[@JohnDStrand]

I bought one last month after seeing your videos about the process. Thoroughly enjoying it, I will be using it on my trip to Barbados this month. Wish there was something I could do besides the Amazon review. Let me know if there is, I’d be happy to help.

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

@@JohnDStrand Thank you! I'll let you know. :)

[@TananBaboo]

More of these videos please.

[@IndustriousPursuits]

More are coming I'm filming at the moment. :)

[@Nick_the_Troubadour]

I absolutely agree with your comments about the quality of the build of old motorhomes, however nearly all motor homes are made of fiberglass and aluminum.

[@Joans20thCentury]

Thank God for Dan

[@irongoatrocky2343]

What do you mean you can't find good duct tape? Nashaua 357 or 398 are the standard in the commercial sheet metal industry....not cheap to buy but well worth it....find it at Lowe's!

[@optiskeptic4746]

I got the front beds and dinette out, and all the cabinets... but how did you get the back bed out? Do you show that in a video somewhere? Thanks!

[@7878lonewolf]

Next time if it's real leather soak it first it'll loosen the leather up and that way you can stretch it once it dries it'll shrink back to its original size. Also there's a leather tool It looks like a scratch awl but it's used for sewing shoes like a sewing machine but it's hand-driven. And thicker leather thread may help you.

[@Shwalker07]

18:25 What a mess. Nice job on your restoration.

[@janlovig3371]

Do you plan to do something to tighten the steering? I find the steering so lose I’m afraid to drive it in any wind. I’m told I’ll get used to it but no, I don’t drive it that frequently and when the wind hits I automatically react as I would normally and the next thing I know I’m swaying dangerously.

[@detroitboy65]

Gorilla tape is the best of all time!

[@tonydaniels3093]

I know this is a little late but if you’d use artificial sinew and use a baseball stitch

[@TheDro]

Love your videos! If you ever want to collab hmu! Ive been restoring a 77rv and work w arduino, adafruit products and more. never had my own 3d printer but i love the lights u made in the other vid!

[@billymasoner3735]

Paper wasps, not hornets. Mice, not rats. LOL, otherwise this is AMAZING and I definitely want to find one of these and do something similar now!

[@bluenorm]

smart shopper.

[@johnsweda2999]

You could use a motorbike catalytic converter for your generator

[@Nick_the_Troubadour]

Was there an actual c-clip was that a snap ring

[@IndustriousPursuits]

I guess it's called a retainer clip: www.classicparts.com/1988-94-Steering-Wheel-Retainer-Clip/productinfo/32-4863/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA9dDwBRC9ARIsABbedBMHVGML1isvWxEcriW9RV8wCiuDvRA-HqULOEVUqhFD32PWV8eoq2gaAn6dEALw_wcB

[@bobbyjonson6325]

If you ever need to jack up the front, do not do it from the side. Jack from front center!!!!! From the side, you will pop out the windshield. Then you will get to replace those fogged before you choose to.

[@sherry-ml7zw]

be great if they made retro car n truck radios of the 1970s in hd stero

[@mattmoore9812]

Hey does that donor have a spare tire rack?

[@spazoq]

You really should learn how to make Silicon molds of parts and cast plastic. There is s ton of information on how to make parts from silicone molds.

[@tallgiese1]

Yeah that step is like $250 for a new one.

[@vmoore5356]

I feel new rv's are somewhat cool compared to 70s motorhomes with all of their features and I don't think Tesla will ever get into rv's because how unprofitable rv's are

[@MidnightAmratha]

Looks like artificial leather, if it is real leather you should be able to make it more pliable by soaking it in water for 24 hours or so, it will also make the leather more stretchy. Just be careful not to pull too hard as the leather will be easier to cut through with the threads.
