    Actually, just this one corner is the worst part the nose rest of the repairs that will not take anywhere near as long And duck I have not heard that tune in years I remember what it came out I was driving a 62 impala I only paid 135 bucks for good luck finding one for that price now… bob

    Yes, thanks I’m sure I’ll wind up reworking the same area at least twice. I was just out there looking at all that needs to be done. Next… first layer didn’t freeze up as straight as I would’ve hoped but I had a start somewhere. My goal is to do as much fiberglass as humanly possible without using a whole Lotta bondo

    I had to put a clutch in mine when I first bought it. I don’t remember having to do anything from inside talk about roughing it out. I was doing it in the dirt. I had a sheet of plywood and a pallet jack I borrowed on the plywood and I was by myself Next time I pull my transmission out I’ll have better facilities ha ha

    I almost forgot I got wrapping with one of those drivers when I was around 15. The guy was really nice. He . Let me get up inside and look around. It was just like that one set up the same way, but it was black and it had this gorgeous red tuck in roll interior package This was around 1971 and I can’t quite remember, but it seems to me the interior was painted black, and not green Oh, good old days …… bob

    Thanks for that. I remember back in the day when I was a young teenager. I used to see quite a few of those long nose Mack sleepers..excellent… bob

    Yes, same here, bud. Thank you so much for taking your time to update us on all of that. It’s the same thing here I have to drive quite ways to see an old. Mack They’re hard to find my area. The closest Beam model that I know of is around 75 miles from here. I’m sure there is here right in Reno. That’s the closest one I know of thanks again for everything. Looks like you’re having quite a time over there.
