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.

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

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.

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.
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.

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!!

That is really looking good Clint and Fran. 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! Tell Tommy Key to get the bays ready to receive, because there will be more excited owners ready for a spring sprucing up.
