                          Mack 700 that I did..I got an old tanker and it needed work..so I did the best I could to make it look like it had been patched and used hard..I did some touch up painting and tried to get the color as close to match the Mack but it turned out darker..I also added a few things to it and now this is what it looks like done.  Pete
