Popular Post umodelnut Posted June 23, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2013 Well today and yesterday I worked on wire brushing, paint scraping, cleaning, and priming the leafs, hubs and brake drums. Had to use a different primer because I ran out. Did a little touch up work on the cab. Finished the fifth wheel. Painted the fuel tank caps gold. I did all this while Papa set poles for the new barn. Worked on it printer all day but didn't seem like I got a lot done. Haha. Enjoy....Vinny 7 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31691-worked-on-the-sidewinder-today/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTFormula Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Nice work. I've been cleaning up the rear frame on the General. I should have new paint on it within two weeks too. 1 Quote ~ JT Burkard ~ AKA Sweaty Mack www.jonathanthomasmotorcars.com Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31691-worked-on-the-sidewinder-today/#findComment-190535 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TozziWelding Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 That is how my great great grandfather started his excavation business, digging telephone pole holes by hand. We still have some 15 foot long shovels in the family archives. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31691-worked-on-the-sidewinder-today/#findComment-190570 Share on other sites More sharing options...
