New Guy here Restoring and 1989 RW753

[scottwetzel]

Thanks for the compliments, nice to hear from other who appreciate the hard work that goes into a project like this.

Snowdog, yes I know what you mean. For us it's a matter of pride. When my father and uncle started the business, they started with the blue Mack and the yellow Mack which was also blue and a regular tractor.

A lot of hard work and dedication has gone into maintaining making these trucks what they are today. Our trucks are our flagship. They are a reflection of who we are. As that's my last name on the door.

I couldn't agree more with what you said. My dad and I also use 2 superliners everyday for our business and our trucks are our pride!! People ask all the time why we keep them so nice but like most the trucks are our business cards!! And who doesn't like being noticed in a chromed out shinny superliner!

I like it when people that tear things down are also good at building things up..! Great pack of Dogs..!

Looks good! You're right about keeping your fleet maintained well, the pictures show that!

I had to do a double take, I thought this was the one you were redoing.

Thanks WG!

Haven't done much work in her lately. We pulled the fuel tanks, and the passenger side tank was rusted pretty bad were the straps were. I called a local company and I am having them make me two new fuel tanks to factory specs.

I also picked up these guys.

Hi, I'm Jake.. I love old Mack's. Trucking is in my blood. My great-grandfather drove truck. My grandfather had Mack's, and now my father and uncle have Mack's.. 4 of them to be correct. All superliners. We picked up this 1989 RW753 from a relative who basically let the truck rot in a barn for the last 15yrs. Since tearing into this truck I have learned one thing. I never truly appreciated how out well our trucks were maintained, until I began this. The truck is your basic Michigan special. It has a 3406B, 13spd, 44k lb Mack rear ends, 20k lb front axle, etc..

I"ll update with pics in a bit

[Jake86]

Well it's long overdue that I continue progress on the Superliner. Just picking her up from the paint shop after a brief hiatus due to the busy season with work. Here she is in her Mack Green glory..

going with steel wheels? You decide against the Alcoas?

[Jake86]

No, the alcoas are going on it. Just didn't take them to the paint shop.

Thank you, it's been a very fruitful build. Next up we found a 97 CL that we're going to go through and flip.

The polished stainless steel muffler we had made. She's so pretty that I hate to hide her behind the heat shield.
