Thats Great

No we don't always agree but we do discuss things out and thrash things out building things till we both agree, just like our business for the last 35 years. We both compromise.

2 heads are better that one. Good discussions on ideas are better if you're not by yourself:cool: It's a good thing when you can bounce ideas back and forth. Sometimes a couple of beers at the end of the day can help with ideas also.:cheers

Great job on the Mack!!

Almost ready to roll!!!

Thanks for all the replies and support. We're almost done! :beerbang

We took the Mack out for a test drive today.
It's running really well except that the automatic transmission is shifting a little too high. It has a throttle valve like a 700R4, I think it'll be fine with a bit of adjustment.
We backed it under the trailer to check for clearance and it looks like it's going to be fine.
Here's some pictures...

We also got some pinstriping and lettering done by a friend of ours, Paul Lapp.
He's the same guy that lettered the 55 Chevy.
