Meadow Green today! Pics!

I am moving at sloth like speed! But I had a helping hand get me over a speed bump! His name is TJ, Nicolle use to babysit him when he was in diapers. Yeah we are getting old...He owns his own Cycle shop and does some wicked artwork.
Yet still willing to spray an old truck cab! He straightened out some battle scars and turned this around in one week! Faster than I could find my paint gun!
I will get some better pics when it is on the trailer at home.

I wanted to get the cab painted and mounted permanently, so I can start building from the cab outward. The cab is the command center, everything starts there. Steering, brakes, acceleration

wiring, etc.
time to get busy again! I would like to drive this truck before I am in a nursing home!

I must admit, I have thought about spraying it other colors, but my original thought was to paint it the original color, and I am glad I stuck to that. This green what was put on it at the Chicago factory. I wanted SOMETHING original to the truck. This is a start!

It looks beautiful. I am envious.

I wish mine had paint. Slowly doing body work. Will continue on once I get back from Italy.

Keep up the good work.
