cruiseliner64

Wow dont know how I missed this thread but thats a very rare truck you have.Thanks for the info on NZ MHs. Keep us up to date on your progress.Love the tail light set up too.... Paul

Its a type of plastic.... Paul

Well guys,Work continues on the Cruiseliner but slower than we'd like.The good news is the guy who owns the farm we are on has told us he will NOT be putting us out of the shed untill shes finnished as he wants to see her done....Apart from some re assembly all mechanical work is done.When we removed the roof trim we discovered a 3in hole that was cut in the roof and then patched.Why it was cut we dont know but the centre rib was cut right through.We rebuilt the rib and patched the hole with fiberglass but it caused a big delay in the work.....Shes back on her wheels and starting to look good...we think so anyway....... Paul

Great pictures thanks for shareing them.The Cabover Freightliner is the one for me and doing it for a great cause too.Well done to all who took part... Paul

Sorry to hear your not feeling the best terry.Hopefully better days are ahead... Paul

Very true Geoff and I woukd!!!! Paul

Had a look at their promo video.Its a hell of a collection of tractors pick ups and trucks.Theres a few Macks Whites and a Crackerbox......If only I lived in the US.... Paul

Na not Irish Bob...Scotland is the place for kilts.....Only the Planters wore them in Ireland....most being of Scottish origin....Todays history lesson🤣🤣🤣.Not that I know much history. Paul

Fair dinkim Paul...I'd never be brave enough to wear an outfit like that....Its funny how we couldnt save ourselves from marrage then spend our luves trying to save others...and failing in that too.......Iv aways said the most powerful thing in the world is a womans body.Men killed and were killed over it...kings left the throne over it,wars were fought over it and still we go after one with recklessness loseing our mates and freedom.....I dont get it......just my thoughts for the day🤣 Paul Sorry Bob ...back to your DM...

True Paul but its hard on the brain cell at times.....Yeah Bob good job...now get it together.We want to see her roll before Christmas...No pressure!!! Paul

Looks super Joey...Im not showing my other half because it'll give her ideas I can do without at the moment!!! Class job Joey.... Paul

Beautiful truck.....if only I lived in the US...... Paul

Hi guys,I have come across a 1980 GMC Astro and Im wondering if its worth what the guy is asking for it.So im asking you guys what you would expect to pay for it.Its a 1980 big grill model 6V92 Detroit,7 speed fuller and eaton axles.Day cab with 3600miles on the clock.It was stationed in a US army base in the UK in the reserve fleet for around 25 years before being sold of as surplus.It is in fantastic condition with the plastic still on the seats and door cards.Anyone give me any idea of its value???.I know it depends on weather you like them or not as to how much someone would pay for it but any guide to a price would be great.Thanks Paul

Great you got them sold.They are safe to be enjoyed in the future... Paul

Thanks for the replies guys.I got the wiper arms off by soaking them in WD40 then pulling the clip sideways like Joey said.Took a bit of prying and a little foul language but they came off at last.We hadnt seen this set up before so I thought it best to ask before breaking something..... Paul

Thought there might be so iv marked them already....thanks Paul

Thanks Joey,i'll try that tomorrow.I sprayed WD40 on them to help release them off the splines.I just dont want to break them given how hard parts are to find. .. Paul

Hi all, work has been progressing on the Cruiseliner but much slower than we hoped.I dont think Iv ever done so much sanding filling sanding and more sanding....sanding around the rivet heads is a real pain!!!! Still hope to have the cab in primer by Friday/Saturday.Now is the time for me to commit a crime as Iv no fingerprints left🤣🤣🤣 Its amazing to put in so many hours then stand back and see little or no change.....A quick question,how are the Trico wiper arms removed? Might seem a dumb question but Im told parts for them are hard to come by so I dont want to break them so Id rather ask.So far they have refused to budge ni matter what Iv tried.Heres a picture of them......

That timber work looks great Joey.See your not just great with the spanners... Paul

Looks to have been quite the show.Thanks for the pictures.wish we had something like that over here... Paul

Well for you with no bosses....Iv one who scares the hell outta me🤣...Yeah I found working with the fiberglass fairly easy.Its just that 'iv never done this before/is this going right feeling when you do something for the first time.... Paul

Yeah what did happen to "lets getRdone??? I did fiberglass work this week,never done it before but just got on with it...... Paul

Now Bob you have loads to do.....but yeah you can choose when to do it!!! Paul

Yeah love seeing the results of a good polishing session.It is good for the soul.. Paul

Happybirth day...you cant beat polished metal...Your freinds Mack is pure class... Paul
