Great job on the Mack bulldog and congrats for your first sale. My uncle was a truck mechanic and ran his own shop when I was a kid. He had a Mack ashtray with the bulldog mounted in the center of it. I remember thinking how cool it was... I was just a kid.

Cheers!

Its always nice to create something with your own hands that pleases you. When someone likes it enough to open up their wallet and pay you for it, it adds to that satisfaction for sure!

Hope its the first of many more for you.

Jim
