Guy's....Just finished the Mack 300 engine....

OK, I know it's not the big bad "CAT" but this will be alright.

This is the 300 engine that is going into the Mack DM600 Triaxle mixer that I am currently working on. Not alot of detail, due to most of it being hidden under the cab "off-set". Decals are all custom made by me, a "little" weathering rust on the manifolds..and the kicker is...ALCLAD pale gold used (airbrush) along with some stainless steel.

Now back to the main build. I'll keep everyone posted. Hope you like..and yes, there is an oil dipstick.....Sorry for the blurness..eyesight is going....

Very nice.....so what is the deal with the tire it is sitting on??? Jim

Jim...

The "tire" is a redneck version of an engine stand....

Jerry...And if it was purple..I would believe it would get better fuel mileage...

Engine looks much better in person..I think the "gold" had a reflection/effect when taking the picture...??
