This replaces the first version.
I have tinkered with the colour balance
With the first, I was working on the man having his arm behind his back, and cut it a bit short. I haven't restored it.

When I joined, the forum couldn't host photos; we stored elsewhere and posted links. That backfired when photobucket and other storage sites were shut down. I was using my website which came with my email. It overloaded, then was taken over by Telstra and was closed instead of integrated: everything lost. Meanwhile I was using flickr. It now has a quota, so I am pruning my holdings. The ones which I was posting were prints which had been damaged: scratched, torn, colour cast, mildew, and which had sentimental value. I have now improved my skill with the retoning, and can do a better job.
I'm not sure who supplied the original, as I am not finding it again.
Rodger Preston Mack.

There is a video on Youtube ,Classic Resto's Rodger Preston's Mack. Well worth a look. Fletch does a great interview with Rodger and his son and a good story on the restoration of Rodgers R700 Mack.

Watched it last night. Good episode. He’s going well for 81 years old. Mack looks magnificent. I think Outback truckers last week had another R700 as well, ready for a full restoration.

Go to YouTube, type in Classic Restoes. It should be first up. It was new last night.
