I bought 3 weeks transit inshurance I could get as I have transit plates now.

It cost $20 so no troubles to continue it for the same worth for 3 weeks more.

At least I don't need to licence the truck and pay about $800 taxes.

Took the truck on the road today and made the trip to the person I planned to buy some Mercedes stuff from.

About 60 km one way. There are holidays here now due to the 1st of May Labour day so traffic was not so hard as usual.

Had to cross above 10 rail road crossings, a half of them was jammed with cars and trucks. So improved my shifting skills.

There was a post by the title of "Double clutching" on days so I got fresh ideas on it. I had no luck on double clutching because the gearbox was being grinding untill I synchronize speed/revs regardless declatched or not. Although I got too important note for me about a clutch brake wich Other Dog described there. I used half clutching when had to slow down by brakes with a gear on. In those circumstances when I couldn't brake with just a gear on and the cluch pedal released. The man I went to lived in a small willage, the road to it was through the forest so it was looked like I was go for woods. By the back way I picked up the girl. Not a hitchkiker but she just lost the hope to get on a bus.

So I ran her to the rail road station wich was by my way. She looked sitting too comfortable in the arm chair (there's the arm chair for so-driver from Chevy Van or something like that). No love story though and no photos. I had to make my shifts so had no time for :)

Well, I would have picked her up too, only because she didn't have any shoes. Even I wouldn't want to see her get sore feets from walking.

Wow, if I saw her right in that forest, I could put he in the bunk with no talks.

Just kidding, I'm a good boy :)

Tom, she looks very nice to the environment, just has no shoes and carried some strange blue stuff in her left elbow.

Glad to see your art, thanks.

By the way, don't you want to work out a good picture of a Mack air filter decal?

You should use Photoshop for, you are the great master of.

I'm going to reproduce it as a sticker and need to make it up from what I have.

Doesn't look exactly original, hope it's helpful in some way.

Thanks, i'm not used to doing a serious project, mostly foolishness. I couldn't duplicate the lettering exactly, and I couldn't find an image of the bulldog where "Mack" was in block letters.

I hoped you don't work hard on that matter because I was shure you had enough your own business.

Although you gave me the idea to not restore all the photo and stretch it out from the spheric projection but make it up new.

I might be cleaning up the original logo or just use the one you attached to.

Anyway I'm not so far yet to repaint the air cleaner.

I just plan how to do over R and sadly come into conclusion I should work it out completely, from the rear end to the engine.
