Re: My dozer I have been wanting for a while.
 

Nice! The thought of buying a ready to run or sort of ready to run machine gets pretty tempting sometimes ... but somehow I resist.

Are you going to make any big changes to it, style wise or keep it a Liebherr / Deere?

Re: My dozer I have been wanting for a while.
 

Thanks Rod and yes I bought it from Jammer. I thought I had better buy my own since your dad has so much fun with his.:D

Repeat after me BLACK MACK.:D

Not much just some CAT yellow paint.


Thanks to all for looking.
Travis

Re: My dozer I have been wanting for a while.
 

With the way that dozer is styled, not much more work to make it a new Cat D7E!

Re: My dozer I have been wanting for a while.
 

looks good cant wait for assembly and decals:cool:

Re: My dozer I have been wanting for a while.
 

Travis, Paint job is coming along nicely and it going to be a nice machine. I see on your bench a mixing container so you must buy your paint by the quart. Have you ever tried the Cat rattle cans and if so, how well do they work? One other question if you don't mind is, do you make your own decals or have a custom supplier?
Thanks Rob

Re: My dozer I have been wanting for a while.
 

Hey Rob, I like the rattle can's, I can get it to stick, when krylon just blow's away. The wind is alway blowing when I paint stuff, LOL!

Re: My dozer I have been wanting for a while.
 

i am working on painting the D7 with rattle cans you can see pics on my terex thread

Re: My dozer I have been wanting for a while.
 

you ain't got this built yet???? :D can't wait for a video .....

Re: My dozer I have been wanting for a while.
 

As for the dozer it is a rattle can job the mixing container is for the paint used on the trucks. The CAT paint you buy that has to be mixed is way to expensive even with my discount, the rattle cans cost me $6 a piece.

I have not had any decals made yet but there is a place that is right across the street from my hobby shop that wraps cars and they said they would make me some, so I will have to take them some pics and see what they can do.

The CAT rattle cans are really nice for what they are.

I will be done before the D7.:p:D
