other dog Posted August 2 Author Share Posted August 2 4 hours ago, Vladislav said: I like the way she looks! (and the same comment to the 1st lot of pictures) It would be cool to add a few small items to the cab or even rear portion of the chassis painted that same light color as fenders are. New door lettering of that color or multiple colors with that green as the main one would suite the scene perfectly too on my mind. Ok, wheel hubs?... I was actually pondering painting the top of the cab with the light green, then I thought the hunter green like the doors would look better, but I still don't know if I'll paint the top of the cab or not. I've been waxing and polishing on it every morning, while it's in the shade and it's looking better and better. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

That route ? you'd need a couple sidemount turnouts with the big glasspack inserts (same thing as a Purple Hornie) trick is glasspack part close to exit. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74392-pictures-of-the-week/page/2/#findComment-556330 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may spend much less efforts painting just the visor for about the same visual effect. Or even better. On the other hand light roof eleminates heat of the sun so makes sence in painting it but there's not a big difference in darkness for that matter on my mind. Waxing efforts are well seen on the pics, the way to go! 2 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74392-pictures-of-the-week/page/2/#findComment-556331 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post other dog Posted August 6 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 6 I just painted the corners over the rear windows at first, but I didn't like it. It had a square corner at the top rear, and it just didn't look right because there's not a square corner on this truck, everything is rounded off. So the I decided I needed to go all the way around with it. I started the light green at the bottom of the drip rails and went all the way across the back of the cab. I didn't like that either, I said "it should be below the windows in the sleeper". So I taped and masked it up again and went down to the top of the black stripe this time. Zina said she loves it, but I'm not sure. I overthink things sometimes but maybe I should have just painted the visor and fenders and left everything else alone, I don't know. 4 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Freightrain Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 In the 80s, I ran stacks on my f100, 302/4 spd. Used thrush glass packs(with the bird on the side). Holee Hell that thing made a racket. It was cool when I was 18 yrs old. Wind it up, let off, and let it bark for 1/2 a block. Everyone knew I was coming!! With the rear slider window open it was deafening in the cab! 😲 Truck is looking great Tom! Under roof is even better. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
