Pawel Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hello Vinny, vary nice work! And also very inetersting pictures of the gutted cab. Any chance of you photographing it from the underside? How does the panel look like, that covers that big opening in the floor? Good luck with your project, have a nice dayPaweł 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26767-u-model-progress/#findComment-133307 Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Thank you guys! And Pawel, we have the floor pan that covers the big opening. I can get a picture of the underside of it for you. I still kept you in mind, when Papa gets his backhoe back from the shop, we will be picking the cab up for paint and I will get you a picture.

Maddog13407 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 always wanted to paint a B model Mack orange with a tan interior but tan steering wheels for B models are like hens teeth and if you paint one it only wears off unless you put 25 coats of clear on it.
