    Mike your Father and you have done some really hard work on Smokey, can not wait to see it running down the road. I have watched your channel from day one , I even mailed you two sets of New York plates for the wall, and you hung them very cool.

  • @1911MikeinOregon

    Every time I see that side of the truck it reminds me of when you sprayed the spring on the little door where the dipstick is
    with WD-40, and it magically started springing open like it is supposed to.
    I've had moments like that before. It's funny how a little win like that can be such a big thing...

    Coming along nicely ! A bit white aerosol around the windows if they are smooth and ready for paint an you could refit glass or replace . Good choice on cab extenders to . They finish off the cab depth . It looks really good tho well done .

    @Paul-ov6kd Před 11 dny

    Mike, if it was my truck, next job would be get it running and driving, next remove the cab completely and get the body giys at the workshop to paint it inside and outside, matt black inside then put the cab back on and then do the interior. Cannot see the point in doing the interior and then moving it plus with the remove you can get the frame rail painted too.
    Cheers Paul

  • @pauleaton6419
    @pauleaton6419 Před 11 dny

    Doing well there Mike , I think I would of finished sanding the roof cap then tried home spraying it , if it comes out nice then fit lights windows and it’s a job you don’t have to do twice but if it’s still a 10feet paint job it’s something that could be done at a later date of which you could decide then to do your self or pay to be painted

  • @1911MikeinOregon
    @1911MikeinOregon Před 13 dny +1

    I really like the visor. It's the perfect size in my opinion. I can't stand big drop visors. I think they look tacky,
    and they block a lot of your vision. The worst part is not being able to see the traffic lights, if you are stopped
    at an intersection. You have to bend over the steering wheel and look around the visor to see the lights...
    Now that you have the cab lights mounted, I think it looks better not having the cab lights on top of the sleeper.
    If we lived closer to each other, I would offer to do the paint work for you free of charge. Of course you would have
    to buy the paint. I've painted show cars and multi-million dollar motorhomes before. Painting the cabover would
    be easy.

    • @mikethetrucknut
      @mikethetrucknut  Před 13 dny

      I wish you were closer too... Yeah big drop visors are not practical at all. I want it to look good but not be gaudy.

    Stubby is coming along, but I didn't see any blocks or some other support device other than the front jack. That seems a little dangerous to trust the jack alone for an extended period of time. JMHO.

  • @ScottArmas107
    @ScottArmas107 Před 13 dny

    A strip in front of that weather stripping for doors would probably go good on that cab light where it’s shortened and butts up to the cab.
