    Here’s one I enjoyed, but didn’t have a beer until I’d finished. 😀

    1958ish truck lettered and coachlined in John Smith’s livery, all paint.

    Hope you like. Neil

    very nice looking job,

    one question if you don’t mind, was the cab hand coach painted before your sign writing?

    either way top job

    The cab was sprayed by the owner in his barn/workshop. He had a photograph of a similar truck that ‘John Smiths’ sent him.

    The whole job took about 11 hours spread over 2 days as I had to allow for paint drying.

    thanks guys and gal, Neil

    Nice one. I’d love to be let loose on a vehicle like that.
