Dennis,
Shelley and I had a long conversation up at the GMCMI convention in Rapid City SD, I have got lots of pictures of his coach and he has also done a number of upgrades to the Bath area and Kitchen and we have talked a couple of time since. His is a Buskirk Stretch coach shell that the interior was finished by CO Richards and Ken Rose and he bought it from the estate of Ken Rose. It is Chassis #4 out of 7 built and sold by Buskirks, I have chassis #5. He had a lot of issues with the BB Chevy engine including using a qt of oil every 100 miles or so. Had problems with the heads, pistons and rings. It was also a HP block. It has since been rebuilt with a more sensible set of pistons and rings to get the comp ratio down a little bit and new valves and guides. He has also done a number of upgrades to the Bath area and Kitchen area.

Carroll is a regular at GMCMI functions. He was crushed that he couldn't make Dothan, so stayed home working on his other 4 GMCs.
:-)
I'll see Carroll and Gayla today or tomorrow if you have any questions ya want me to relay.
