Hope you like.

I think your shading is excellent. Love….Jill Harry Cleary Member August 20, 2007 at 6:43 pm Nice Job Neil, how long did it take? Neil Davey Member August 20, 2007 at 8:12 pm 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 Lynn Normington Member August 20, 2007 at 11:12 pm Neil thats lovely pity you didn’t get to the Hillsides meet as well it would have been just up your street. Lynn Andy Gorman Member August 20, 2007 at 11:38 pm Nice one. I’d love to be let loose on a vehicle like that. Log In to Reply Log in to reply.
