85snowdog Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Wow!! Your truck looked good before Paul, now it looks amazing ! It looks really good . And to be hand done is a huge bonus . Its very difficult to find people that still do that . Well done .

Vladislav Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Paul, thanks for the story and for sharing that new spectacular look of Mrs Mack. It looks amazing now no doubt and really cool you found it needed to do all the job and spend money for. Too sorry to hear about your old friend passed away. And seems like your motivation was also to keep memories of the person who could do such type of works but it never happened. Also a big point for us to remember it's not a right way to put every thing on a back burner. I suppose it was not a two penny job to make up Mrs Mack but once it's done you will never sorry or dissappointed for the money spent. Love the lady dog. That boy dog maskot is a really commonly used image and what you made it into is almost pretty and I belive nobody have done before. Or am I wrong? Sorry for the late comment. I saw new pictures of the truck about a week ago and already checked out the thread. But the week turned out very busy so not much time was spent by the keybord. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50535-extreme-make-over-time-for-mrs-mack/page/10/#findComment-478477 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmackpaul Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 Thanks very much, Mrs Mack was slowly going backwards so I collected parts for a fare few years and slowly put money away towards the future job at hand Anyway push came to shove so I just got out the grinder and started cutting off more than I thought I could chew and just kept on chewing LOL Paul 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50535-extreme-make-over-time-for-mrs-mack/page/10/#findComment-488222 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmackpaul Posted May 7, 2023 Author Share Posted May 7, 2023 Thats a red gum, must be at a guess a few hundred years old Very dence and very heavy hardwood, and hard is a under statement Iron bark or box iron bark is even harder and grows even slower Red gum grows were it floods every year or two and box were it floods every 10 years The green movement have just about shut all the saw mills down which makes this a very rare find today Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50535-extreme-make-over-time-for-mrs-mack/page/10/#findComment-531058 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly put their trucks to work and did not worry too much about presentation. Most of Lou Arthur's trucks were bought second hand and maybe some were ex - fuel tankers, Paul do you know the original owner and what it used for?
