The first truck is at the entrance gates to the KENTUCKY Fair and Exposition Center.

The second truck is in front of the horse barns, at the same facility.

The under-carriages of his trucks look like the one in the picture.

Everything, and I mean everything, has been sanded, then painted, then polished, and buffed to perfection.

I have never seen such meticulous attention to detail on anything else, anywhere.
