Popular Post mowerman Posted November 3 Popular Post Share Posted November 3 Yeah same here trying to beat the weather and get mine out of the garage just so I can put my car back in there main reason is I can’t really move the Mack around once the snow starts my yard is mostly dirt and it gets really sloppy and tires sink right in and leaves deep tire tracks after snowing and melting numerous times … and as mentioned everything is taking so long … you have made some amazing achievements in a short time … good luck on the paint and thanks for all your updates.. bob 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75888-cruiseliner-transformation/page/4/#findComment-585035 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmackpaul Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 I dunno, you blokes in the northern hemisphere have crook weather at the moment Days are slowly getting better in Australia, actually they are getting a tad warm at times 36°C (thats about 97°f in the old money) the other day and it's only spring Lucky summer is pretty mild with only a week or so at a time 115°f on a good year and can last like this for a fortnight at a time in a drought year Truck is looking fantastic, what a huge effort Paul 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75888-cruiseliner-transformation/page/4/#findComment-585146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post cruiseliner64 Posted November 6 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 6 Thanks Paul,it has been a a bit of a marathon for us and its not over yet!!!! Yeah we are very happy with the results so far.If we could just get a dry week to finnish the painting then the end would be in sight.We have really enjoyed the work.The weather in Ireland can be very wet at times even in the summer...25 degrees C,mid 70s FH is a scorching day here and we dont get many of those.Most vehicles here dont have air con...dont need it....

Vladislav Posted Sunday at 06:15 PM Share Posted Sunday at 06:15 PM She's getting looking sexy. That white area - is that plain white color? Or with addition of pearl?

Thanks for your nice comment Vlad.The white paint is DuPont Imron white code 28072U...no pearl.Interestingly the guys in the paint shop told me it was used by Fiat in Europe.
