Truck photos

[JJs 1948]

These are my first photos here. The truck is in a dusty body work shop and get worked on in spare time. As for the color, it's a paint formula for Marathon Fuel Company to match the blue colors used at Marathon branded stations. I own a Marathon gas and convenience store in Onsted, Michigan which is in the lower S.E. area about 45 miles above the Ohio border line. The color can be found at most auto paint stores. I'll put a magnetic logo sign for Marathon and for Subway on the doors occasionally. Added Subway in 2004 which has helped very much.

All parts are painted now and waiting for assembly. Finished the wood this week and will start on the bed next. Cherry wood stained and blue metal strips are ready and will be the look. I'd like to get the doors on and keep some dust out but the bed will be first. A friend of mine is doing the work (paid of course) who is a body man and mechanic full time. His passion is restoring old farm tractors and custom show cars so he has the know how and I mostly get parts and the grunt work, but I am learning.

The truck is really dusty, hence the plastic cover, so I havn't taken photos until now but were close to taking it outside for a wash. Back to work.

Hey JJ,

if you'd like to post bigger pictures, try photobucket.

This is how I do it.

download your photos to the internet site Photobucket.

Put it in a file/album you're happy with, cuz if you move it after posting it, it will break the link.

Open photobucket and the forum window in seperate windows.

cover the picture you want to post in photobucket

right click the "direct link" code and copy it

go to the Forum/"reply to thread" window

click the yellow box with the mountain and sun in it

you might have to "allow" if your computer blocks it

a small long window will show in the left corner...paste the code in

it will show the code in your "reply to thread" window

click on "preview post" to check the photo before posting

That's what I do.

Good looking truck JJ.

Thanks guys. One of my goals was getting to the point of posting some photos. Getting things done eventually, little by little.
