    Thanks Paul,it has been a a bit of a marathon for us and its not over yet!!!! Yeah we are very happy with the results so far.If we could just get a dry week to finnish the painting then the end would be in sight.We have really enjoyed the work.The weather in Ireland can be very wet at times even in the summer...25 degrees C,mid 70s FH is a scorching day here and we dont get many of those.Most vehicles here dont have air con...dont need it.... Paul

    Well guys its just too wet over here to do any more painting so we fitted the 5th wheel and carrier back on to the chassis.We also rebuilt the 5th wheel,new jaws, springs ect ect..we also done a few other small jobs while waiting for the rain to stop.... Paul

    Yeah importing anything from outside the EU is expensive The price of the truck is added to cost of shipping then 45% tax is applied to the total.It would make that Mack 14500 to 15000 usd to import here🥶 Paul

    Seams a fair price.It would be 14500usd for me to buy ship and import it into Ireland but would love one.... Paul

    Over this side of the world they are kown as Bug Eye Macks because of the shape of the windscreens.None here in Ireland but there are a few in Europe,mostly drilling rigs or cement pumps.... Paul

    Great to see more progress Bob...keep at it...I know the clean up is not a nice job.It took my brother and me over 3 weeks to clean and prep the Cruiseliner chassis for paint and then another 2 weeks to put 6 coats of paint on it.......and that was doing around 6 hours a day 7 days a week.Still Id do another one in a heartbeat.... Paul

    Have to agree 1000%.When we got our Cruiseliner it was all I thougjt about but as my son began to uncover its history it was just amazing.The people we have talked to about the truck including all the folk on BMT has made owning the truck even more worthwhile that we ever imagined.... Paul

    Welcome to the group.Good luck getting your truck running.Unfortunely Iv no experence with those engines but someone in the group should ne able to put you right... Paul
  22. cruiseliner64
    Growing up with them will do that to you for sure.I first saw a Cruiseliner in the film Convoy,I was 14 years old and swore there and then That somehow,someway some day Id own one.That day came 48 years later when I got mine last year.Funny how the dream never left me.... Paul
