Red Rover Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I stopped by the Gainesville Truck Center today and had a chance to check out the progress on Mick's B. I was drawn to the details of this every nut and bolt restoration, building a brand new truck.

Red Rover Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 This truck is being restored at the Gainesville Truck Center in Gainesville, Ga, which is a Mack Truck dealership. Mick owns the dealership and the truck. Mick is a fool for mack trucks, obviously, but also has a few cars restored or in the process. He takes them to a level that most of us can't afford, but can most certainly appreciate. Gerald, who is the dedicated painter and restoration tech,and I, have become friends in the process of finishing the interiors and cosmetic details on these vehicles, which is the fun part at the end. A point where the vehicle begins to take shape, and you can see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Not where I'm at now, but someday hope to be. But the only antique trucks I see here belong to Mick. This is a Mack Truck dealership, and I get the impression that parts and service departments here are not geared toward restoration work, or hobby trucks.

Freightrain Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I always drool at projects like that. Just done to a "T" and perfect. Wish I owned something like that, but I use my stuff too much and would never stay that nice. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
