Popular Post h67st Posted December 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2018 Picked up the cab, fenders, and all exterior cab pieces on Thursday. I love the color, it's a Spectramaster green that took a lot of research to find. When I got home there was a small stone chip on the front, dang it! The trailer fenders are off for loading, I put them back on for the trip. 12 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55066-cab-is-painted/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truck Shop Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 That is really nice, wish I could get the guy I have doing body work moving a little faster. He also is working on a Henry J, a 66 fast back and a 68 GTX at the same time.

Vladislav Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 The look of the cab is very promising. I just try to imagine the whole truck. No doubt would be great. Wish you smooth way to end up the project.

VALS327 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Hello, the cab looks really good. Sorry to hear about the stone chip. I can’t believe how much progress you have made. Kind of makes me feel like I’m moving at a snails pace. Oh well Rome was not built in one day.

Take care, Don I have miles to go on the chassis, the only reason I had the cab done now is that the shop had a one year waiting list so I didn't want to let my chance go by. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55066-cab-is-painted/#findComment-411643 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did my B in a similar color in 2013 and have nothing but complements on it since.

james j neiweem Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Will be well worth the wait. Almost like Eazor colors. I think Eazor was a little more greenish.

I like black or grey for frames, but with the cab color I think I'll like red best. Plus it costs more, so I've got that going for me. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55066-cab-is-painted/#findComment-411793 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or by owner's wife sometimes. For the best you may draw a primitive picture of the truck using MS Paint or another graphic program. Too easy to fill areas with different colors to observe general appearance. You would surprize how many variations go away during just first 10 minutes of experiments. 2 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/55066-cab-is-painted/#findComment-411834 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobert62 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I think a red frame would really pop! The contrasting colors would look good together. My personal preference is always a black frame just for ease of touch up. Like Vlad said its your baby do whatever you want. I just hope it includes polished aluminum.
