    Painting Question

    I'm getting ready to paint the (new) M880. Going the 4 color winter pattern like my M882 / McGuyver's. Do you lay out the pattern on the truck or just 'freehand' the pattern from the pictures / patterns?

    What Up?

    I had thought about clarifying my earlier post, No I do not have a line on a truck, just my hopes. I have an M882 that I am parting out. That's my trucks "retirement" date. minimum length of use for a vehicle is 12 yrs, that would take them to 89. I have {somewhere} a pic of an M886 from...
