Re: SMB West Factory Visits

I am heading down to SMB West on Feb 20th. Would be happy to take photos of your rigs while I am there with my DSLR.

Excited to go and sort out the build specs and cost. Ok, not excited about the cost part.

*** I edited the date to the 20th from 21st. I will be there Friday the 20th all day! ***

Re: SMB West Factory Visits

prally,

Can you get me a picture,

a. close, from the back looking through to the front of my Yellow SMB,

b. a close up of the dash with Kenwood radio,

c. and how many panels for the bed in the penthouse bed, two or three, please?

Is it a good paint job, around doors, hinges etc?

And any other pictures you care to take, it's May before I get there from Western Australia.

Tried to delete, got dates wrong, Doug

Re: SMB West Factory Visits

Doug, Jonny told me he sent you most of the pics you were after. I did take some of the paint job and there are only a few spots where white is shinning through and they are in spots you normally will not see unless a door is open. A little touch up paint will solve the problem. Your vehicle looks like a brand new van.

Re: SMB West Factory Visits

Last gremlin...going to the Rear End Shop in Riverbank to have a leaking front seal replaced. Stopping by the Fruit Yard for little breakfast Herb.
Yesterday I checked out a shop that does high end diesel work in the Fresno area. If it works out OK the guy is coming up with a under mounted oil cooler that looks promising. He does a lot of bullet proofing 6.0's and being so close to SMB is a nice feature for those wanting to upgrade. Supposed to be a week turn around and it's right by the airport.

I was actually joking about you test driving Doug's rig.

Sorry to hear about another gremlin in your SMB. I think you need to perform an exorcism on your rig and get rid of the last of those pesky critters.
