Looks awesome! What my "Falcor" looked like in it's first set of clothes. Nice interior mods and looks livable!

Beautiful coach.  Inside and out.  Your parents would be very proud.  Definitely one of the best looking Remods I have seen.
What did you do concerning the shower frame?

Yes, would like to know how you modified the gold trim in the bath to what appears to be antique brass or bronze?

I replaced the Moen trims on the shower valve leaving the existing valve in place. Added the slide rod and a new shower wand.  The door...well I took it all apart and took it to the powder coater....while it was there Harvey hit and the place I took it was under water. Eventually I got it back and started to put it together and realized that all of the parts were not there.  They did a great job but not all of the parts came back...I punted and had a new door installed. They did do all of the lights, towel rings and bars and they came back intact ....You wins some...you lose some. I consider my self very fortunate to  have only lost a shower door in Harvey I know many would trade places!

Very impressed with your restoration work and the love you put into your Mom and Dad's coach.  You will get many memories and wonderful trips with your vision to bring the girl back better than new!

Sweet coach Karl ..... 
it's all been said already but I can tell you that I jacked several of the picks.  I realy like some of your choices and ours is a sister coach to yours only 95 vintage. Especially the kit area.

  It's like bringing back a 57 Chevy only way better, you can LIVE in it.
