He has a boat and a couple of Sea-Doos of c of course lotsa storage. And both thier everyday drivers and yes his garage is huge very unusual for a regular clean neighborhood with home owners association I don’t think they would pull that in my area because every home here has six cars that don’t run horses, cattle roosters chickens. Everybody has a dog or two or three….. bob and I'm not nosy ==at 72 almost 73 I can get away with being senile / demented LOL 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73700-74-mack-rmodel-project/page/5/#findComment-550609 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JBushneck Posted May 11 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 11 Well I achieved the goal I set out on back in December. Completed the 74 Mack Rmodel for a show today. Towed on of my ABs behind it on the trailer. Still have some bugs to work out and some small details but other than that project complete. Time to look for the next one. 6 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73700-74-mack-rmodel-project/page/5/#findComment-551516 Share on other sites More sharing options...

70mackMB Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Someone had Skippy's contact info and got in touch with her six months or so ago. l think the truck had to be set aside because of other things being more important at the time. Maybe she will make it to the Vermont show this year. .....Hippy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73700-74-mack-rmodel-project/page/5/#findComment-551579 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JBushneck Posted June 9 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 9 The Rmodel did great driving the the National truck show in York pulling one of my AB’s. Have a few things I want to improve but otherwise a great ride.
