Repainting the Aussie Value Liner

[mackdaddy]

I am repainting the Value Liner back to it's original colors. Gordon McCracken from Australia is going to do the scroll work back to the original for me as well. He is coming over to the ATHS show in Salem and we are going to have a few days set aside for him to give us all a show of his handy work. He will do the work on site at the show. And since I get confused over who all is on both the ATHS site and this one I will post over on it as well.

Dan,

I thought the truck had original paint on it when you got it? Are the original colors White and Red? It is a tough looking truck already, It will be Awesomely Tough when you are done!! Hope you are keeping the Dog-n-Lightning on top.

That is what I thought too on the colors. I noticed the frame is like the old RW, What year is it, I don't recall?

 

I was just working on the Superliner today, installing a new chain locker. It will just have a big chain locker on it for a year or so, no custom sleeper yet but planed. I'll have it at Salem with an empty trailer and run up to the border after the show. I just purchased two MH's just north of the border and pick them up then. The sleeper will be on hold and I what to get one of these MH's back on the road. This way I will have something to pull the trailer and other trucks when I pull the Superliner down for a reframe (20"longer and double frame) and add the sleeper then. It needed the extra length to look right with an 80" sleeper and I didn't like the spliced current frame, even though it was done right. About a year project for me. 

 

You get that Red LT done?   Any photos?
