Popular Post 1961H67 Posted September 20 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 20 I got the fenders ready to paint today, I may get a chance to spray them Saturday morning, I have to do some Trucking tomorrow ( to buy more outrageously priced paint! ) after the fenders all that is left to paint is the inner door panels. My hope is to get the fenders and hood on in the next few weeks, I have to have back surgery in November,so I’m hoping to be able to do some light work on it after Christmas, wiring, door windows etc, we’ll see how it goes. I’ve made pretty good progress on it this summer so far. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/33/#findComment-558799 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb73lt Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 You really have made a lot of progress this year and you're very close to finishing it up. Good luck on your back surgery when it comes and hopefully you'll have a speedy recovery. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/33/#findComment-558800 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Black would work there too but orange are bright!

Popular Post 1961H67 Posted September 22 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 22 Thank yall, they were pretty rough, better than my original ones but still a lot of work, , I thought about black but this is the way they painted it in the 50s so I wanted to keep it like it was . The sun was very bright so it does make it look like a bright color 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/33/#findComment-558923 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 1961H67 Posted September 22 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 22 Sorry I missed my spelling,I had the yellow 55 , thank you . I’ll try to get my chrome on the side of the hood this week , and do some more tweaking on the hood alignment. It’s much easier with the fenders off,,and I’m sure I’ll have to mess with them to get them to line up, part of having something taken apart for 30 years, and using some parts from donor trucks. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/33/#findComment-558940 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1961H67 Posted October 1 Author Share Posted October 1 Just giving y’all an update,, Our County and worst our community was one of the hardest hit from the Hurricane,, My family is safe, ! My son lost his home and 2 pickup trucks , Our shop is pretty much destroyed, But at least 15 neighbors of mine have lost their lives , It’s the worst thing I’ve ever experienced watching the helicopters flying over with bodies in the basket . We got a lot away but it came so fast we could couldn’t get the stuff out of the shop and his carport. The are living in my camper,,and we’re fortunate to have a way for water and a few lights, cell service was gone until yesterday. My service truck, the Charger got flooded, Not important at this time but this is the LJ thread.. it doesn’t seem to bad, a million sticks under the frame, it didn’t get over the transmission. The water blew out the back of the shop and took the newly painted headlights, inside door panels,, lots of small parts,, all gone ,, but could have been worse. I’ll keep everyone updated. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/33/#findComment-559309 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1961H67 Posted October 1 Author Share Posted October 1 Thank y’all so much. It’s wide spread, Only one major interstate to get supplies to the Asheville area. I 26 is Washed out in Erwin TN . I 40 has A landslide on each side of Asheville, I26 to Spartanburg SC is the only way out, last night was the first time since Friday morning I had any cell service, and I looked at some photos of the area and it’s unbelievable, There are some YouTube videos out now. I think the National Guard is here, I’ve talked to people from a lot of states now , it will probably be 2 weeks for my power to be on, I’m just trying to get my good stuff out of the shop and bring up to my smaller shed. There home was behind the fender picture. One fender stayed on the table, the other fell on the welder , not dented but scratched, , I may just leave it that way,,,,Dawson can tell a story about the scar 50 years from now.

skydawg Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Is that a swollen river or flood water where it`s normally dry?Unbelievable pictures coming out of Asheville.Violent weather,floods,wildfires...seems to be a steady increase.I hope you get help from the government... they have no problem giving away money to groups who never paid a dime in taxes.
