Well Grinnin..
As a matter of fact I have made a bit of a start..

Firstly, I checked the quantity of fuel in all those tanks..
Not really enough in any of them to warrant a milking!
Next..The fridge...Couple of Apple Ciders in there...Made a nice change for smoko.
Also helped to wash down the 3 Tim Tams I found in the console..

Once that was over with, I thought I would have a bit of a look around the outside..
And under the bonnet...Nice piece of CUMMINS iron under there...
Did I check the chassis number...Arr No...
No orange, blue or purple visible...


I was given a bit of a 'picture' the Big Fella thought may look good painted on the rear of the bunk...
So I needed to make so room..



Quick phone call..Ay Grinnin, whats the go with these aluminium gadgets on the bunk? Can i take them off?
Yeer sure chocs..no worries..go ya hardest..
What are they for..Well they are, I gotta go the other phones ringin....
Hmmmm..

Well this is what im asking about..

[IMG




OH NO!
This wasn't on the plan!


[IMG




Back on the phone....The number you have called is disconnected, if that's you chocs.. :-/


Well.. Spose I better get that sorted out prior to some artwork..

Bit of new sheet, bit of etch primer..



[IMG



Down to the magic wand shop to grab some rattle cans to redo the silver....
Hmmm, this chromebrite is different to what he musta used..
Best slide off onto a different part of the project while we await the Magic Wand Shop to recalibrate the Silver Pearl color chart! :-[



A little bit of bling removal required here..


[IMG



And a bit of bling replacement here..


[IMG



Next, some sign producing equipment was rounded up for a few lines and scrolls



Bit around here


[IMG




Bit of a squiggle under here..


[IMG



Another bit up here.


[IMG




Couldn't let it go without banging one down here..


[IMG



Yep, that's a bit of door lettering up there..
That's not dry yet so ya can't see that..yet..
I can tell you that, I have used Pink, Purple, Black, Grey and White on the lettering though..


If the paint shop is free tomorrow, we might see about getting that rear panel color coded...(this time ::) )

Then throw a couple more 'contrasting' squigglies around here and there.


A bit of artwork midweek, and she will be ready to head north again...Just in time for the next big show.

Arrrrr..I had a feeling those Tim Tams were baited!
No one leaves smoko currency like that laying around..

Had a rest day I mean a real bizzy day today, Banged a bit of work on the air cleaner cans, followed by a trip to Gtown for a few supplies.

Might start a bit of artwork on the bunk tomorrow arvo..

Bit of a cruise day today, a few squigglies etc, in between some regular signage chores..
All starting to come together now...
The end of the week is sneakin up fast!

A big thanks to the Big Fella for sharing the progress of this job with 'us'...
You get to see it as he does...
Won't be many surprises left!

Looking Great Chocs , The Magic wand did work!!
I was showing Bronsan the photos and at six years old you can spell in, at, on, is, and of course your own name, He was stoked when he saw it . It was a big WOW.
Can't wait for the grand finallie on the back of the bunk. See you friday ;)

Chocs
What did you do with the Ally of the back we could recycle that into bling
Better than scrap value ;) ;) ;)
