Grasshopper is lookin really sharp!!
Texaco and kenworth are two of my favorite brands ever
You have great taste my friend 😬👍
Man you sure got grasshopper looking good 👍
Man that gold really made it look awesome!!
That paintjob looks great, and all the detail makes it sand out. Great job Mr. DANE !😊
Thanks Bert, and as always I appreciate your watching 😬😊👍
Love the borders. Grasshoppers 🦗 looking nicer yet! Love the dashboard too. It's great you have friends in the business who contribute to your projects and the Truckers Lounge. Safe travels and God bless!
Thanks Chris and yes there’s so many great people I’ve been blessed to meet and work with.
Bluejay looks FANTASTIC Dane! That gold is just what it needed to get the perfect look! Grasshopper is looking fantastic also.
Thank you sir 😬
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE absolutely brother. Are you going to paint that panel next to the grille?? Where the stripes cut off
The gold stripes really did make Blue Jay pop. Grass Hopper is also looking sharp. Now you have to get everything off the donor frame and put it on Grasshopper and she will be ready for the show. It’s gonna be tight but I think you will get it done in time
Love the gold stripe on blue jay
Me and my husband Dan are getting really excited about grasshopper can't wait to see it when it is done blue Jay looks awesome as well with those gold pinstripes they are 8v71 buddies old school cool keep the videos coming 👍
Yes they are Shelly and Dan, thanks for your support! 😬👍
Nice cab over Kenworth. Had a 68 cab over Pete. Years ago. 318 Detroit diesel great show.
Thank you .. AND for watching 😬👍
Jeez ! Thanks for the butt puckering memories Dane. Being the young apprentice at Cummins Ontario in the early 70’s it seemed that I was always
the guy that had to steer the dead iron into the shop truck bays. I think we had about 20 sum odd bays, and all the doors were narrow. You had
very little to spare on either west coast mirror. We used our fork lift to pick up the back of the frame rails, and it was all down to me to muscle
the steering wheel and get it between the goad posts. I recall only once breaking a mirror, but I might as well have broken them all for the ribbing
I took. I drove many trucks with standard steering back in the day, but dead power steering takes all you’ve got. Grasshopper is looking good.
In Canada I don’t think we ever had the cab access whoop style you have in the U.S. Canadian Kenworth had differences in many components,
and models. I recall seeing one with a cab similar to yours in Beloit at a cold storage warehouse while unloading my load of meat. The truck, the
trailer, the driver, and his dog looked like they where on their last mile. The tractor had a long wheelbase not often seen east of the Mississippi.
The engine was a horizontal model mounted across the bottom of the frame rails. It had a chain holding the back of it from falling on the road,
or so it looked. It must have originally had a long drom box in its younger day. I was very curious about it parked in the next dock with my new
82 KW 100 VIT, and my snazzy looking 42’ 6” light weight Trailmobile reefer. It’s all relative now Dane, however I drove that cabover for 26 years.
I sold it about 2 years ago, and the new owners are doing a full restoration on it. No doubt it will outlive me. 😊 lots of memories.
So cool to hear yours and others truckin memories like that! I love being able to give a little old school joy to you guys who made the glory days what it was, even though you didn’t know it at the time.
Dane grasshopper looks great love the pinstripes . cant wait to se it run down the road👌👍
Thanks Dom, me too… I mean I’ll have to watch on video lol.maybe go on a little jawnt with a certain Dodge Cabover cousin 😬👍
I love the gold stripes it gives blue Jay a blue mule look!
I have been a member of ATHS since I saw my first copy of the magazine in a truckstop in 1988!
Yepp, it’s a cool mag for sure.
Love the Gold Pinstriping on Blue Jay too!!
Man that bumper looks good on Grasshopper!!
Lot better than the old beat up one. Lol
The gold pinstripe has always been a favorite of mine on trucks, you chose well, Dane!
Grasshopper is looking great and I love the gold pinstripes on blue jay really tied it all together.
Ps the nice ol freightshaker in the night shift section of WOT is my baby.
Thanks and that’s a sweet “Shaker”. Maybe you can bring him to the Jamboree and “Shake” things up 😂👍
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE I would but I’m clear over in Washington state 😵💫 I’d be shaken up from that drive 🤣
I just picked up that Wheels Of Time at Barnes and Noble a week or 2 ago..Great Article on Heavy Duty Fords!!
Awesome work on both of those trucks! Looking forward to the first drive with grasshopper!
Me too 😬👍
Enjoyed the show, The gold stripes on the Astro really look awesome!
Thanks …. And for watching
Bluejay looks like a charm nice Mr Scotts I like the display on the back of grasshopper very nice work great graphic nice video buddy 10-4👍👏🚚
Thanks Melvin and as always for watching 😊👍
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE anytime buddy 👍🙂
Lookin’ good!
Grasshopper and blue jay both looking good Dane.
gold stripe looks great best wishes from north east of england.
Oh man my regards to you and your part of the world Gordon. Thanks for watching Bud😬👍
Gold looks great 😊
I think that is just what old Bluejay needed. Grasshopper is coming along👍👍
Awesome memorabilia!!.
Looking forward to the tandem swap :-)
Hey Dane enjoy the stuff. Stay safe and hammer down. My kid got a kick out of being on mail call.
Awesome I enjoyed the goodies … thanks again.
WOW grasshopper looks awesome in the daylight! Nice touch with the gold pinstripes on bluejay too!
Thanks Frank 😬👍
The gold separation stripes on Blue Jay does look good.
Grasshopper is looking sharp! The gold air cleaner can provides even more flair for an already great looking paint scheme.
Yep, careful with Xacto blades. One slip with a fresh blade can result in a deep, surgical incision. Sure, ask me how I know.
Thanks Stan, Yepp I think we all have our Xacto horror story lol.
Man you are one lucky dog wish people would send me stuff like that 😅
Tim I hear ya in that lol…. I deeply appreciate and respect the giving spirit of so many awesome people that are connected to this”hobby” of old school glory days in trucking. And thank you for watching too 😬👍
The gold pinstriping looks amazing on Bluejay. It's amazing how a little change can make a drastic difference. And Grasshopper is looking great. It really shows what's possible with a vision and a can of spray paint. So inspiring.
Thankyou DFN, ya gots to work with what ya gots lol.
A lot of things make that truck, but that gold air filter really pops in a good way!!!! Grasshopper is looking magnificent!
Another truck like the H series Two Story Falcon, but in medium duty format, is that Dodge which used the front of their old '60s flat face A100 van as the cab, perched atop of a riser platform, like the big Ford. The White 5000 rivals or exceeds the Two Story Falcon in terms of goofiness. 5000s had a fiberglass cab.
Thanks Dan, and yes all those models are cool and so iconic 😬👍
I was very excited about the new wheels through time magazine my Ford N1000 is in the ford article grasshopper is looking great
Well it’s a beautiful N1000! And thank you.
The stripes just make Blue Jay POP! Just more of why it's my favorite. Can't wait to see Mr. Grasshopper moving under its own Detroit power.
Great choice on the pinstripe. As always absolutely excellent. Can't wait for sunday you made my day big smile and sunday willbe even better thank you
Thanks Mark
Hello driver! Glad to see you, thought you might be on vacation. Grasshoppa looking good! The toys reminded me of my childhood. Continue to keep up the good work that you always do!! 10-4 driver im gone
I haven’t been on vacation in decades lol. I don’t know who would keep all the plates spinning if I did 😂🤷🏼♂️
I’d be tempted to try gold on both sides of Jays black stripes. Looks good tho👍🏻
Looks pretty Dam good Roger 😊
10-4 10-4 back door 😬👍
What a great transformation from sitting, looking fantastic. Loving the exhaust work too!
Yes Mister Wizard gets all the credit for that. I’m blessed to have him helping me.
Grasshopper looks great in the sunlight.
U absalutly scored today😊😅
Wow it time Will the new rear end this time for the new rear end? Oh, man, I like to see Chrome on all the front in the back on that truck. You're a new rims and tires everything. The works l e ds and the back all new stuff
You have a good eye for simple low cost "lipstick" that accentuates the rest of the colors, makes them pop ! I'm waiting to hear Grasshopper's exhaust, now. We've all heard enough of straight pipe noise .
Thanks Dan and so am I… I’m thinking next week we’ll fire it up. Problem is the cab must be down with this kind of exhaust and we need to have the cables and wiring done so we can shut er down if need be.
Old School......Baby.
Oh ya! 😜
Love those night light pics in Wheels Of Time too!!
This channel should be called rattle can rebuilds.
Lol
Justin of Just Truckin' has recently bought an old early 90's model Kenworth K100E cabover that was stretched by the previous owner,it runs and drives under it's own power and is now in the process of slowly restoring the truck to do local LTL work & as an RV truck pulling an RV fith wheel trailer,and taking the cabover to truck shows.
Paul of Big Paul's Trucking is also currently working on restoring an early 80's Mack Cruiseliner cabover has already replaced the old rusted spring ride chassis with fresh new C-channel frame rails & crossmembers;and is currently in the process of replacing the underpowered Maxidyne 6 cylinder diesel engine with a Mack E7 turbocharged air to air diesel engine,which is going to take some custom fabrication work to make the air to air conversion to work.
I've told Justin a few times to check out The Truckers Lounge. Only 4 Trucks has a few Mack's being restored and a 1969 Peterbilt, along with a Ford L9000
What Justin from just truckin has is a 1986 Kenworth CABOVER 100
I bet you'll have Grasshopper up and driving again before too long!!
Hay buddy good luck grass hopper looks good buddy
I believe I have seen one before 😊
I agree you need to be careful with exacto knives .. don't ask me how I know..lol😅!!
Blue Jay looks a lot better and my favorite it would be cool if you can get a picture with the crackerbox that was painted to match one day.
Oh I agree, Not sure who has it
Love it Dane that made him POP
I think it's looking really good bud
Thanks Vaughn
How much are they pal I don't know if I will be able to make it to the show this time 😞 because the wife is not great health right now all most lost her about 3mth ago heart
Such a shame the mounts for the torsion bars are US and unobtainium, but I am looking forward to seeing the other parts being fitted.
👍👍👍
Thanks as always for watching 😬👍
Cadillac-ac-ac-ac-ac-ac!!
That wouldn't happen to have anything to do with Elderly Iron's video from yesterday or the day before, would it?😁
No, I have always said it that way lol.
I do know how that's like, Diane. I used to ride a '98 Suzuki Muarader VZ800 motorcycle and people would pull out in front of me or cut me off. Anyways still enjoying your content off my main channel.
Yepp they’re definitely out there. Thank you for watching 😬👍
@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE Of course buddy. Stay safe out there
The way you have things re-arranged, I’d imagine they also have something to do with some posts on FB….and I’m sure you have reasons for those as well to be revealed in due course.
Now, starting with “Blue Jay”: that gold pinstriping is what that truck has been missing….good call! Definitely provides contrast and gives it a more “finished” look.
“Grasshopper”…..for some reason, I thought you were simply replacing rear clips altogether. Are you just stripping everything and re-installing the Pete components on your frame instead?
Yes sir we decided to keep the KW original frame and change out the suspension and fifth wheel.
It’s too bad you can’t rebuild the KW torsion bar suspension on “Grasshopper. The suspension you are replacing it with appears to be a Rayco. I’ve ridden on both, and as far as I’m concerned, the torsion bar rides a lot smoother than the Rayco. When I first started Long haul trucking I had a 1977 K100 cab over KW with the torsion bar suspension. Later I was move to a conventional KW with the Rayco suspension. Both were co trucks.
Replacement is Peterbilt air leaf.
Dana just a few words to you I really enjoy the show I still have the fever extrucker of 25 years I live in Maine and there is only 2 states that I have not been Al. Alaska and Hawaii so what do I have to do to get me a hat or something for the trucker loung I will buy it or whatever just let me know please pal😊
Thanks for watching Vaughn, and my hat tipped to your service to 48 states …. Wow!
I bet you have some stories 😮👏
Right now I have Mugs and shirts but only mediums and smalls left. I will try and have some hats at the show.
What wheel simulator do you have on the front wheels of grasshopper?
I ordered them from Raneys
How long did it take to restore that KW
So far 6 months 🫤
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE is that 8hrs a day 7days a week
Never drove one with that suspension say it was not that good 😅
I’m not sure as KW used it for quite a while but most have said that if you kept them greased properly they worked really well. 🤷🏼♂️
Trucks Look Awesome .If u get a chance check out youtuber Backyard Barn Finds they just saved a 1970 Mack M100sx from Queens NY.1 of 3 trucks made and was the 3rd and only survivor
Definitely will thanks Bob.
