The restoration is coming out stunning. It is going to be awesome when complete. The painter just laid down the graphics on it.

Was going to ask the same thing about your sign painter.  How did you find him?  Looks like he does a fantastic job.

It is Carl Coates's sign painter. He is handling the restoration I believe.

Yes he did the sides also. The decals we found were not correct for the machine so Carl had his painter do them instead.
