I can see why so much was spent, lot of details like curves side glass
which looks special etc.
However it is like giving me a plastic job. I'm still going to be an
"Ornamental" .

best comment on that thread.
Ok, ok, let's talk about the refurbishment. I imagine this started life as a Chevette, the last one built in 97′. Owner decides to upgrade, spends $800k and here's the outcome. Someone needs to purchase and restore to original condition for $1.5m. only then does this make any sense.

Good old Andy Mauck. Nice enough guy.
If you’re ever near him, keep your hand on your wallet.
Word is that he has a deal with Farber Special Vehicles in Columbus for his current creation.
Brother in Law of Jim Petro - Former AG and Auditor of Ohio.
Mauck’s sister spent some time at the helm of Digital Scout. I tried to buy that company once upon a time.

Kinda reminds me of John Delorean a bit. Mix in a bit of snake oil, and
expensive drugs and there you go.

In the last Century, my automotive focus was on performance automotive and
motorcycles, go karts, slingshot dragster, gaskets, competition coupes and
sedans, hot rods. It gravitated towards custom cars and restorations.
As a result, my wife and I attended and participated in car shows like
Hot August Nights in Reno Nevada, and Cadillac Collector's shows in the
Pacific Northwest.
Attending some of the auction shows in connection with these shows
was a real eye opener for this back woods boy.
These collectors, for the most part men, walk around with fancy money
clips chock full of Benjamins. No checkbooks for these guys. If they see
something they like, they buy it on the spot. CASH MONEY. NO RECORDS. They
sell the same way. Tens of thousands of dollars change hands on handshake
deals. Uncle Sam hasn't a clue of it, and gets no cut of it.
Very interesting. Out of my league, for sure. Little short white
haired guys with muff duster moustaches, Tall Texans in cowboy hats, farmer
looking dudes in bib overalls, eastern ivy leaguers with vests and bow
ties, leather patches on the elbows of their sweaters, guys with British
accents. Insert your own names here. BIG MONEY. It don't have the same
meaning to them, as it does to someone like me who had to scratch for every
buck he poured into this hobby. So, 800 k? Could be.

At first I thought the $800K figure was a typo until I looked over the invoices.
Stuff like $7,062.50 in one case to "go-through & document existing electrical system" and "R & D new charging system based on system requirements & future probabilities" plus "R&D new charging system, product selection". No actual work done on the coach here, just looking over things and thinking about what to order is billed at over $7,000.
Based on charging myself for similar work on my GMC I can see where my coach could be up in the $600,000 range for all the thinking I've done about it over the years.

From what I have seen in some of the workmanship of projects on coaches,
procrastination MIGHT HAVE BEEN the most productive part of the work. (Grin)

Let's see? Hmmm. I don't have a T.V. of any kind in our coach. So, they
don't have much value to us.
I do carry a lap top computer, though. It has one of Gary Bovee's
"Idiots guide to a GMC Motorhome" Digital Video Disc in the drive though,
and software programs to allow access to various fuel injection systems
that I encounter on the road. That's got to be worth something, I guess.
I saw a 1955 gull wing Mercedes Benz at a car show, once. Had a for
sale sign in it. A steal at only $900,000.00 U.S. dollars. Was it worth it?
Only to the person who wanted it bad enough to pony up that much cash. Me,
I scratched my head and walked on by.

See - gull wing doors=big bucks 
I agree with you on TV - don't have one in my GMC. Who needs a TV when you got nearly 360 panorama view out of the unit.
