You've got that steering wheel right here, so yeah, if you guys want to come see me at uh Cerny Motors next Saturday, August 20th, they'll be there, they'll be square because all the cool trucks will be there, so I've got to turn it on and put it back down. the garage has to get pimping it has some minor things to do this week unbelievably with how nice this truck is after sitting for 17 years it's al

ready

been in a parade hello im going to get her excited bring her back here so she can do it Some paint today, so stay in town, so let's put this show on the road, we'll shoot and hole, okay, stop complaining, you want to go with me, get in the cab, come on, I want you to know I almost fell on my canidal Up here and there's a little blue jay mascot, squeaker, idiot, oh, and look, there's Astro Vader looking at me and Cracker Jack, the cookie box, I like the view from up here, okay, let's take this away, shall we? say?

Look at the air, I've only had this running in about three minutes, so that's driving me crazy, that's how it's done, let's get busy, okay, so what we're doing here is

gettin

g this frame, all black, and I took The Wizard's Tip and instead of shiny black we're going to use satin, which I think is a great choice, it just looks a little better satin, so working back today, I'm going to get all these ugly things looking decent and uh, wire brushed, which they already have been. and I did a little work on the tanks the other day with a green, uh, instead of steel wool, the green seems to be a little bit smarter way to do it, the steel wool probably gives you scratches that attract dirt, so what green is different.

The stuff works just as well if not better in my opinion so that's what we're going to do and you can see I've got a little knot in the contract and of course Dane Scott at the door so yeah towards That's where we're heading today. Let's get busy painting, oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. I started with the interior as well to look a little better. I had to rip out the carpet because it was like the El Nasto carpet, so it came out and I got the seat to work, that bad boy. It runs like the day it did a little lubrication and that's it there's the nasty seat that I had to cut out yeah look the nasty carpet had to be cut out so I'm going to replace it and uh let's show you where we are. come on, this is where we're working right now, we have to make this all look like this, so watch it magically change before your eyes, okay, looking a little better, looking a little better, I'm coming, so Santa came This week, I have to show you. some of the stuff that made it to the trucker room this week is crazy, you guys are amazing, I appreciate you and every time you send me truck memories I read them as soon as I can find a spot and proudly post them in the trucker room truckers. saloon, so check this out, a nice guy in Florida I met sent me that genuine signed mclean truck company going right next to that genuine dolly that came before and some other stuff here that came with it, check this out, I mean , this is crazy.

Aha, yeah, that's what I'm talking about, this is old school cool, from the day record albums are already framed, I mean, it doesn't get any better than that, I'm just, uh, wow, I'm impressed and here is a cup. Limited edition Christmas mug that was evidently released by Allied Systems, I don't know if they were released over a year ago, but that came with it, as did these killer patches that Allied Systems and Mercury Motor Express added to the patches. There's more, but I try to stay up to date and I try to let them know how much I appreciate it because I really appreciate it and things are a little crazy, you know when you have a channel like this and it's growing and I try.

To respond to everyone's comments, I try to make sure I try to return phone calls and it's hard, you know, I mean, I do it when I can do it and I appreciate your phone calls, voicemails, messages on Facebook, etc. so on and I read them all and I appreciate them and I will do my best to acknowledge you and respond to you so I think that's all I have to show you today so let's get back to Blue Jay I've done enough for one. There was enough damage on the day of the day, but except for the fifth wheel, I think we're

gettin

g it to look a little better.

There's still more to go and I see spots that were overlooked, but for the most part it looks better, doesn't look like rust. cube more and that frame is really in good shape, I mean did you see this frame is nice, it's just amazing to be sitting there all those years, 17 years and what good shape that frame is in?
