ya know something knighty....to line, scroll and picture (cartoon) a truck like that now, would cost you near to 2000 dollars...all hand done .. and that work is exactly that

this was a standard procedure in the late eighties/early ninety's but i guess,...who realistically wants to afford that now ??

well tective, didnt think it would cost that much, wonder if chocs would do a discount rate on the next project. When i saw it i had to get a shot of the bulldog and the V8. Wish the mud flaps had (knights coonabarabran). ;D ;D

knighty... that old cruiseliner is the work of old school melbourne sign writer- stewy warren...his scrollwork is a dead giveaway...never mind the heaps of bulldogs he pictured for mack trucks on all kinds of mack jiggers! :)
