Hi all,We got more paint on the Cruiseliner after a damp day or two.It is really starting to look how we want it to.We hope to shoot clear coat tomorrow and then get her back together.We would like your thoughts.Happy thanksgiving day... Paul

Happy Thanksgiveing day to you all from Ireland.. Paul

Yeah im with you on the Western Star trucks.Just about the best looking new truck at the moment.The old cabover Western Star were beautiful too.... Paul

Of course you had to save it...it deserves to be saved.Who in their right mind wouldnt save a classic Mack? Paul

Very interesting artical Paul....Maybe Aussie operators prefered the steel hoods thinkin the fiberglass hoods wouldnt stand up to being hit by a Roo or Wombat....just a thought. Paul

Never too early🤣 Paul

Very true Vlad but it is the prep work that eats so much time......If you fail to prepare then prepare yourself to fail is my motto... Paul

Looking top class....well done. Paul

Hi all,well we finally we got a break in the weather...ye gods it hasnt rained in 2 days!!!! After spending our time doing small jobs like bolting up air/fuel pipes and electrical cables with new P clamps and a hundred other things we got some paint on the cab.We are happy with it so far.....heres a look at our progress. Paul

Even though Im in Ireland I just have to agree with everything he said....simply because its the same over here..... Paul

They look fab even in the condition they are in... Paul

Oh just beautiful...Im drooling over it....Now Im wondering how one would look parked beside our Cruiseliner.....I know there was one over here in Ireland but I havent seen it in about 12 years and I cant find out where it went... Paul

Thats a sweet sweet Superliner.Look forward to hearing more about her.... Paul

I feell your pain...more 5 minute jobs that take 5 hours.Old iron is full of those type of jobs.... Paul

Yeah Im with you there.When I started driving in '82 there was still a lot of hand loading/unloading.....hand balling it was called over here.....no need for a gym after emptying a 40ft trailer🤣 Paul

Love old pictures...of anything and anywhere...... Paul

Enjoyed this thread no end.You have done a great job on the truck and researching its history.Your granson looks like he approves for sure..... Paul

Looks real good,great job.Gold wedges look the part....we knew you could do it.... Paul

Im really sorry to hear this Geoff.It is tough to lose a pet after such a long time,they become a family member.Focus on the good times you spent with Rory.It should help get over the loss. Paul

Come on Bob,theres a DM waiting for you.... Paul

I know all about LHD in an RHD country.......Not as bad as people think but there are times you need to be that bit more careful.... Paul

Yeah known as a cleat here in Ireland by the very few who know anything about Dayton wheels... Paul

Sounds like a cool place.Picture is class...... Paul

I dont know much about politics because over here all politicans are scam masters so I dont vote for any of them anymore.Its one scandal after another.There are 4 main partys but no matter which of them get elected nothing changes.However I was born in 1964 and grew up loving everything about the 70/80s.The 80s were the best time of my life.The music, the girls and although we worked hard and played hard everything was affordable and most people were on the same level.I dont know where it all went wrong but I pity kids growing up now.Theres too much rules and regulations and you cant say boo but someone is offended.How did we get here???? My rant for today..... Paul

Cool place,is it close to where you live??? Paul
