XenaCommanders Place

Well it has been some time...  I haven't updated recently as there hasn't been loads of pics coming from Marty..  He has been busy and the progress hasn't been overly photogenic...   Little fiddly bits like hatch covers etc... He has kept me updated...  Here are some pics he has sent...

Some bits hanging in the spray room...  This is the new "cream" chosen for the top of the truck....  A lot less yellowy cream than the original and will go well with the new colours...  (So I am told.....!!)

The rear is finally panelled again...  looking good..  Note the holes for the lights...  He has mounted them higher than they were and are new lights with the weird round reversing ones removed...   Very nice.

A shot of the right hand side..  all skinned... The cupboard for air tanks is off because Marty found it was pretty rusty and decided to make a whole new one..!!   That man has skills...   Note the guttering up tophas now been simplified...  It will now have to drain down the sides away from the windows but not necessarily run to the front or back...  It looks cleaner...

Finally some paint on the sides...  The cream going on..   Note the masking line for the stripes in other contrasting colours...    It is going to look "HOT"!!!

The other side...  Very good.  It is so good to see finished surfaces...   and no more RUST..!!!!!

Martys latest email tells me he has the truck going back in the paint booth again tomorrow to have the other colours go on... 

Will update when I can...    Stay tuned.
