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.

This truck will be looking good

Smokey is looking killer, can't wait to hear that thing running & driving..

THAT IS SMOKEY

Mike don't worry about twin sticks he has his channel and you have yours he had his content and you have yours he has his way of doing things and you have yours and that's the end of the story.

You and your Dad are making progress on Stubby too!!

GREAT LOOK. I can not wait till you start my FAVORITE truck K 2

Smokey is looking great Mike

I like the rave strobe light going on the whole time.

I think Smokey looks fantastic Mike and for what little my opinion makes I think you have the perfect plan for the direction you're headed with this project. Looking forward to see the Interior put in. Thanks.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! Smokey is looking sooooo good Mike

Smokey's visor looks sharp!!

Hey Mr. Mike and Dad, getting my Smokey looking good! I think this is my most liked truck! 😉

Mike, I think you are a little older than me. But you quoted Short Circuit, Johnny #5!

You just are making real progress. Good for you Mike. Two excellent trucks there.

Both Smokey and Stubby are looking good, would be great to see a bit of what your dad is doing to Stubby😎👍

Would look so cool to have the lights on top too, more chicken lights the better

I'm liking this renewed interest in working on Smokey. It'll be great. Can't wait to see it go.

new alternator ,belts & a chainsaw ? hummm Mike what about water penetration on that center cab light ? funny thing about Smokey ... every time I look at her the paint job screams out Fire Truck 😁

Looking good Mike.

I can't wait to see the new interior Mike!! My 83 had the grey splendor interior and it was gorgeous!! I miss her!!

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 .

Maybe you could get TwinSticks to paint Smokey for you and you could help him out on 1 of his projects .

You got another light out Mike.💡

Mike smokey is looking good can't wait to hear it run your doing a awesome job keep it up

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...

Visor looks great Mike.

Smokey is coming along nicely, Mike. Good choice in cab lights and visor.

Looks d**n good Mike, you have done a great job. You should be proud.

Great video Mike Smokeys coming along nicely. Next get it running more to come after that. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Mike and Dad.

I enjoy your dad and all of his know how.

❤looking 👌 good Mike, it's takes time, but there's light at the end of the tunnel,😅😊

Smoke look really good ❤

Man Mike smokey is looking great that visor just made it. Can't wait for you to get it running and pull it out.

Man Smokey is lookin good Mike!!!

great video mike ya looking good your just a guy with big tonka trucks

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

Coming along nicely Mike, looks great!

I know the excitement your feeling, as you get closer and closer to the finish, take your time Mike, ok now get busy.😁

Smokey is definitely coming along nicely!!

Looking good Mike, can’t wait to hear it fire up😁

Keep pressing on and pushing forward and be steady. Its happening before your eyes and ours.😊

Mike... Smokey is starting to move forward.... Great to see you making progress 👍 On another note... what's up with the flashing light behind you?

Looks awesome from the front Mike.

Coming along nicely 👍

Another one of my favor lines from that movie, "I'm standing here besides myself" LOL

Can't wait to see the other channel

That’s coming up nice. 😊

Looks awesome. Love that visor.

Hey Mike all those lights are going to leak but the rubber grommet is to keep the wires from chaffing

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

Looking like a nice truck now Mike, good motivation 👌

Looking good. Maybe next video you can show us what your thinking on paint scheme 😊

Survivability in case of a frontal collision and rollover situation in these fiberglass and riveted aluminum sheet cabs is slim to none!

It’s motor time😊😊😊

Mikey, love the job you’re doing on Smokey, he’s sure come a long way!

Can’t wait for yall to get these two done so you can start on the other One you have like Smokey and the 359! Your dad is awesome! I miss mine dearly we used to do carpentry work together remodeling homes and flipping them! Enjoy every moment and cherish them!!

that damn flickering fluro tube is driving me insane......lol

Yes.

Good old frog tape.

Good job micke is loveli

Nice work Mike 😂

It needs clearance lights on top of the aerodyne as well Mike.

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.

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.

Looks sharp.

Nice job Mike

Looking good!

Well I'm going to start tearing into it...

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.

She’s looking good, I can’t wait for more

Where is Dad today? When we don't see him we become concerned

He's there, just doing his own thing. 🙂

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.

Mike unplug the flashing light !!!!!!!!!!!

Need mirror windows up top.

James pretty uses a shovel to put the wheel and tire on

Keep it white the paint is cheap and it hides a lot of imperfections and is easy to touch up, My friend owns a fleet of white KW's and he buys white ones for that reason.

Mike think i would be speaking some one in your company to see if they could do a paint job

That's what I want to do.

That light is irritating

Wrap it,

Just please put an original bumper on. Texas bumpers on a cab over just don’t look right.

Mike, throw the sili$}{!t in the trash. Use a marine sealant, either 3M 4200, or Sika brand marine, or RV sealants. Silicone sealant is pure crap. Best wishes to all.

Not a fan of that visor.

Paint it BJ and the Bear theme it would be great!!!

Yeah I want it to be similar to the bj and the bear truck. Maybe not exactly the same since the cab is smaller that the BJ truck
