Popular Post kscarbel2 Posted August 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2017 Watching Paul and his adventure, and it feels as though he's just down the street (BMT Lane), is like stopping by your best friend's or brother-in-law's garage at the end of the day to see how he's coming along. The BMT family, good people.......second to none. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50535-extreme-make-over-time-for-mrs-mack/page/3/#findComment-377202 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmyb Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) So how much do you reckon it is Paul for all the panels? I know it's a bit late but I've seen spot weld cutters on eBay. That might have made your job a bit easier. Next time hey? Nice move on using the cold gal. It makes for a good weldable primer. Keep the videos coming mate.

41chevy Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Nice work! Now we can't stop at your farm, ask you how things are and deduct that part of the trip as a business expense.

Tim I'm not sure how much but I'm sure if I asked the Princess the answer would be to much LOL , at a guess I reckon around $3500.00 for panels Was it worth it, I guess that all depends on which way you measure what things are worth To me it is, but I doubt it is to anyone else Im trying something I have tried before but always been way to ill equipped to even come close to pulling it off, even today Im struggling but its going much better than I thought it would It's a lot more time consuming than what I thought it would be, I would guess even in a proper panel shop this would be a major undertaking and no doubt would be written off rather than fix But Mrs Mack is so much more than a truck to me so I guess it really was never a question of should I ? it was more when will I have the time Paul 1 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50535-extreme-make-over-time-for-mrs-mack/page/3/#findComment-377263 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have done very well so far and it will give a couple of us here the courage to take a plunge too.

kscarbel2 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 There is no website I know of in the world that has such a warm family, such a fine group of people. It is a genuine honor and privilege to be a part of this very special family that extends throughout the world. Barry, you must be so proud. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50535-extreme-make-over-time-for-mrs-mack/page/3/#findComment-377273 Share on other sites More sharing options...

VALS327 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Hello Paul, . Thanks for documenting your project for us. It is quite an undertaking. As 85snowdog has said this beats anything that's on television. I know that as I'm getting ready to go to sleep your hard at work on the next episode. I just have one question. How is it Mal is so relaxed and you seem so stressed. In all seriousness you are making a difficult job look fairly easy. Keep up the good work.
