umodelnut Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 What a surprise I had. Mom took me to Nana and Papas a little bit ago, and we pull up and Im almost blinded by this giant shiny red thing. I realize the cabs painted. Papa kept it quiet to me, so it would be a surprise. Its beautiful!!! I had to run in the house and pee I was so excited. Then I also see stuff hanging from the birch trees, and see that he painted the mirror brackets up and stuff. Then he told me the mirrors were over on the fuel tank, they look great. Yes, there is a few flaws in the cab that are noticeable. Theres one run on the bottom. And a few dimple lines. But, its alright, its not a world class restoration, and its not a trailer queen. So I hope no one gives me any crap. I just gave Papa a big hug. I love it. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27007-the-cabs-painted/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
