A friend of mine has asked me to repaint a rig of his. It will be getting a livery based on a business owned by one of his relation.
Thought I would share the progress pics as it goes through the transformation! :)
Starting with this:
Then after tear down, getting ready for alcohol bath:

Looking good Todd and I'm so glad it was a Pepsi truck, would have hated to see a Coke truck stripped down! LOL

I set the components of the trailer together for a quick shot - as I was itching to see how it is going to look...

Thanks guys!
Doing the re-liveries on these has been a lot of fun!
And if you have access to a HO track, I highly encourage getting one to play with, as with a few minor mods, they are a riot to run! :D
