Doug Maney Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 If you knew the whole story you wouldn't be so critical. The MH daycab shells were sitting around his shop for years. What can you do with an MH daycab shell? The friend owned the RV that got banged up and the OEM camper parts were no longer available and made the RV a useless piece of junk. Mike took what he had laying around and was able to put the thing back together. All of the work was done with wreck parts that he had laying around. The Vulva hood is hard to look at but he didn't have any Mack hoods complete with lighting and grille that he wanted to cut apart to make work on this thing (Mack parts sell, Vulva parts don't). If you get past the looks and think about the fabrication and work done to make this thing a useable piece for very little money. Mike is the kind of guy that builds what he needs rather than going to the bank. It shows with all of his equipment, trucks, grader, race cars, etc. Grim's is a very good shop that does very nice work. No return trips for corrections, done right the first time.

Doug Maney Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I looked around on his site and found the photos of the B-81 that Mike restored for his customer to use for specialized heavy hauling. He also restored a DM-600 and an RM for the same company.B-81DM-600 & RM Quote Interested in Old Trucks?

The MH day cab being fitted to the camper is an awesome idea but the Volvo hood? that looks absolutely awful. Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!
