This project is really coming together. I wonder how many gallons of Old Cat Yellow have gone into it already and will when it is finished. That is a lot of shiny real estate to cover, not to mention the engineering, creativity and thought which has gone into creating what is under that paint!

This is very exciting. I can't wait to see it making some smoke and noise and getting all dirty!

Pete.


As others before me have said, what a great project! I'm very impressed.

Pete raises a good question. What paint are they using? They are in California so us "left coast" folks would really like to know. Are they painting with Old Cat Yellow or Highway Yellow or?

Hey Gang,

I spotted this vehicle with some pretty cool Cat Parts loaded up... :D:D:D... Ed Akin was headed to Peterson to drop off parts for our Siamese Project and called me to meet him for lunch. Most guys call a Cat Dealer for Parts... Hahaha... Our project means we deliver Parts...

That is going to be one hell of a Cat Glen. That and Mary Ann side by side will be really special.

Hey Team,

Rumor has it that the dozer blade will be at the shop this week sometime. Things are moving along nicely...

Hey Rome K/G,

I didn't decide on the stack, but I kind of like it. As far as the OEM goes for this project... It's a design build. It's designed and built by Peterson. How can anybody argue it not right, as it's all their doing!!! Each was unique and differed from the other. None were the same. One thing though... It is OEM, as it's their doing... Hahaha.
