Hi folks,
We just got in to Miami, OK this morning for our make over. Have some before pics posted in the gallery 1992 album #12. Will post some more before and after in the near future. The pics in album now are from when we first got coach and include the modifications we have made so far.

[NEWELLWIZARD]

Clint and Fran exciting news!! We look forward to seeing the after photos.

[Neweller]

Exciting to here! Bling Bling coming our Way Newell Style! Tell them that since you are such an advocate of their services and this great site, that we want to see something extra special for more bragging rights! Get some pics of the boys in action, that will pay them even more dividends while showing folks what the factory does. Show n Tell and then Show n Shine!:thumbsup:


Mike and Amy, that's a pretty cool avatar you are sporting!:thumbup:

[speedingsport]

Clint I look forward to seeing the upgrades when it's done. :thumbup:

[ccjohnson]

We had to leave coach in Miami during make over due to some prior commitments. Here are some pics of 1st day before we left. includes some pics of Drapery/Upholstery shop pics where Donna is working on our new headboard. Tommy said he would try to get me some pics to post as well. Saw 2 Newell's among the NASCAR trucks yesterday heading east on I-40 in OK. Several high line coaches & trailers after dark as well. Got up at 4:30 am our old time in Miami to take some stuff out of the coach to go home. (losing 2 hrs in one weekend is hard on an old man!) Got home about 3:30 am this morning.

[NewellCrazy]

Wow Clint, It appears you're having a major remodel done while at Newell ?

[ccjohnson]

New washer/dryer, new drapes, new blinds, new flooring & new bed stuff.

[ccjohnson]

And dinette reupholstery

[GRIFFIN JR.]

Wow that is a lot of updating. Are those the window boxes they are making?

[ccjohnson]

Window boxes are not ours.

[Neweller]

Right On! This is going to be very nice. Thanks for all the great photo's, looking forward to everything that is getting the luxury make-over. :thumbsup:

[jWolfe]

WOW! Awesome stuff! When you go back to the Newell Coach Factory you'll be stepping into a whole new coach! ;) Cool pictures of the Newell folks at work, I look forward to the finished pictures.

[1993Newell]

New washer/dryer, new drapes, new blinds, new flooring & new bed stuff.

Talk about a makeover! :thumbsup: Lots of new goodies, you love your coach now, wait until the the makeover. You'll never want to leave it. :D

[JustDustin]

I can't wait to see what the Newell Factory does for you folks. :(y):

[ccjohnson]

Well folks, hello from east of St Louis tonite! We got to Miami wednesday while Newell was still doing the final touches on our make over. We spent the night in the coach but everything was still covered up. When we got back from breakfast, we stepped into our"brand new" Newell!!! Pictures of work in progress taken by Tommy Key are attached. I'll try to upload some pics of finished product in a while.

[ccjohnson]

Ok, here are finished remodel pics of our "new" Newell! We decided to stay with drapes vs window boxes. We felt that the drapes added a bit more "quiet" elegance. Besides, all the other newer coaches seem to have window boxes. Drapes sets our apart from the pack & gives a truly "personal" touch to our coach. i would highly recommend a Newell remodel to anyone wanting to upgrade an older Newell to "new" status. Even with an old 8V92!!

[Neweller]

That is really looking good Clint and Fran. :thumbsup:Now did Fran go out and buy some bedding and frills or did Newell Coach throw that in? I bet that sweet running 8v will running even smoother now. Don't get any speeding tickets being all stoked about your new Newell!:thumbup: Tell Tommy Key to get the bays ready to receive, because there will be more excited owners ready for a spring sprucing up.

[ccjohnson]

We had the Newell upholstery shop do the bedspread & pillows. Although Fran did pick up a couple of pillows at Kohl's & Pier One.

[Neweller]

Well, you folks are surely "stylin' and profilin'"!

[Jack Fouts]

Just one word - Exceptional! I like the curtains as well and the gray straps are a nice compliment.

[lbrachfe]

Really looks fantastic and do like the curtain look alot. ENJOY your new Newell

[Randy J]

The upgrades are beautiful! :thumbsup: I think we need to consider a remodel soon!

[NewellCrazy]

Clint,

Wow! what a difference your remodel made. It looks like a whole new coach. I'm liking it!!!!

Sean

[MiracleJ]

Looks great there's night and day difference.

[NEWELLWIZARD]

The tile and blinds make it look sleek and new. The new bedding is nice too. Very cool updates! :thumbsup: Enjoy your NEW Newell coach! ;)

[1993Newell]

Clint and Fran the coach looks wonderful! :thumbsup: What kind of tile is it? I like the design it looks great. Did you have new flooring done in the bathroom as well?

[CAPTWatson]

Looks awesome! I give it five stars!

[ccjohnson]

The tile is Travertine. It is in bathroom also. We got it heated as well. The dinette was recovered in black glove leather * fran had them replace the old laminate in dinette with black to match the desk.

[SharkRacing]

The travertine is a great choice and looks super nice with the black glove leather. A friend of mine went a little overkill on the black glove leather in his Outlaw Coach. Don't get me wrong he still has a super nice coach as well, I just like what you guys did better. By the way, nice desk!

[GringoPhil]

Clint & Fran I'm jealous! :thumbsup: When your ready to sell let me know I'm still trying to get over how your Newell doesn't even appear to be the same coach anymore. Amazing job done by an amazing manufacturer. What was the cost for your total remodel. My wife is trying to talk me into remodeling our Newell and I'm trying to decide what makes more sense. Remodel or step up to a newer Newell Coach.

Phil

[ccjohnson]

We budgeted 40-50K for it in Oct last year but had to delay until this year due to family emergency. We decided to not spare any expense on materials. It is supposed to be a luxury coach after all. Newell's craftsmanship is second to none. And still a bargain at $110 per hr. we thought about getting a newer coach also, but decided it would still be a used coach. This way we have a brand new Newell interior customized for us.

[speedingsport]

The upgrades to the interior look really good! :thumbsup:

[Nara Queen]

The tavertine is beautiful and you went with having it heated too? Luxury!!!

[NewellCrazy]

Did you go over your budget Clint or did Newell come in under what you budgeted? Very nice by the way! Can't put a price on luxury.

[ccjohnson]

We were a tad over. But that was due to some last minute add ons on our part.

[stewart33]

Congratulations! the new changes look sharp! Fran you picked some eye pleasing colors. Your coach is a shining star! :thumbsup:

[jWolfe]

We had the Newell upholstery shop do the bedspread & pillows. Although Fran did pick up a couple of pillows at Kohl's & Pier One.

Having the fitted quilt bedspread makes it fast and easy to make the bed up doesn't it?

Did you get the Vista cordless window shades?

[Cheri Smith]

Clint and Fran breathtaking updates. I like it a lot. :love:

[ccjohnson]

Blinds are manual have to pull the string. But they are a honeycomb black out. We just got home from shake-down trip to DC. Had a blast & really enjoyed our "new" coach.

[speedingsport]

Good for you guys. If we didn't enjoy our Newell Coaches it wouldn't be any fun.

[David Carrol]

Clint, what all was included in your make over? Was it all interior or was it both interior and exterior upgrades?

David

[ccjohnson]

This time was all interior. New carpet in salon & bedroom, new heated travetine tile in toilet, lavy & kitchen. New washer & dryer. All new blinds & drapes. New bedspread & pillows. Re-glue some loose trim and make covers for skylight & fans. Almost forgot, new leather reupholster on dinette as well as new laminate in dinette area. Ran out of time for exterior. That will be next trip!!
