JUST LOOK AT ME NOW!
2004 Update
The
743 restoration project is nearly complete! Viewed
from the outside, only the lettering is yet to be added; the complete
body paintwork, and accessory add-ons are complete! |
After months of body preparation work by
Ted
Campbell,
owner of
Coach Maintenance, Inc., and Dave Pagel, the
two committed themselves
to set aside everything else, and paint this coach full time, until it
was completed. They started on a Monday. After five very long days, it was pronounced
complete, the following Saturday morning. |

Three major colors were applied, plus striping. Two gallons of light green, 4 gallons of dark green, and 3 gallons of white paint were used to create the unique California Parlor Car Tours style on this coach. (Original photos of this same coach when used by California Parlor Car tours in San Francisco, are available elsewhere on the Internet.) Silver striping paint was used to add the finishing touches to this excellent work. To continue to the latest 2004 photos, please click here !
