stev Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I agree with RowdyRebel, I think it might have ended up looking ok if they had just finished with the MH grill and trim, rather than trying to graft on that pathetic piece of volvo plastic onto the front. I do wonder what happened to the doors from the donor MH that they were using different ones . . . . Although they seemed to line up ok . . . . .

rsb502 Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 I agree. At night. With no moon. Standing about 100 yards away. In a driving snowstorm.with bad eyesight and broken glasses. I have attatched a pic of the supposed long hood Volvo, I saw a few in Iraq I had to get a pic they were just weird its the cabover cab and parts of the side skirt with a short little 2 foot long hood.

HeavyGunner Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 That Volvo nose is friggin hideous. Why use a cab over cab and then add a conventional nose on it?

Doug Maney Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 When this came up on a post before, I explained. Mike owns a shop and likes to make good usable stuff out of nothing. One of his customers wrecked their motor home and he thought he could make something out of it for his family to use. The MH cab was a shell he had laying around and it matched up pretty well. The Volvo hood came off of a wreck that was complete with lights and a grille. He now has a cheap motor home that is odd looking but very functional. Sometimes you have to overlook the appearance to get to the good stuff.It would be like hooking up with an ugly millionaire nymphomaniac. Sure it may not look good but the benefits are worth it.

HeavyGunner Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 again cool until he put that nose on it. I am not hacking on it because it is not all Mack it just looks really dorky and out of place to hang a conventional nose off of a cab over. Like tits on a boar, they're useless and and look outa place.

57 bcr Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Looks great except for that hood (UGGGHH) .There are plenty of good used CH and Vision hoods available.WHY VOLVO? (TOO MANY COLD ONES!)

M818 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I have to agree that the hood looks wrong. It also seems strange because when one opens the hood, what is there? The engine is under the floor. The finish on the vehicle is very nice, I just don't like the shape.
