Re: SMB West Factory Visits

Stopped at SMB West Thurs 9/26. Was in a hurry but ran into Jonny and he showed me the New Road Warrior project. Est $250k. I did see the the New Cab Chassis mould. It looks like they used the side if an E Series for a mold, Jonny said they should gain 6 in in with inside . From a distance you would swear it is an E series. Sorry I didn't get photo's but I was in a hurry and it was 4:50 pm and had to roll. I'm sure it will be neet but what about the weight?

Re: SMB West Factory Visits

Promaster the camera killer. Makes sense to me. You might hold the camera close to the Fuso in order to reincarnate it.

Re: SMB West Factory Visits

Okay SheriffDoug, I will see what I can do for you. To be clear, you want photos of YOUR yellow SMB. However, if it is not ready for delivery until April, they may not have much done to it yet. Where are you located? Do you want me to post the photos in MY gallery?

Re: SMB West Factory Visits

Thanks Herb, I got it now.
SheriffDoug, I will look for your yellow SMB and take the photos you requested. Also, If you are going to fly into Los Angeles let me know and I may be able to give you a ride to Fresno as I go there often to visit frends. I will be doing the White Rim Road April 4 to the 10th 2015, and other than those days should be available.
Best, BillPa1
