    Hello Clinton, Beautiful is an odd word to use describing a D7F dozer but it fits this one perfectly! Kevin is a master painter and the quality of his work and the attention to detail shows in C7C equipment projects and people should realize this machine could be 54 years old as Cat started the D7F series machines in 1969. ----Beautiful----

Chris got himself about a week or so ahead with the week in Kentucky/Indiana… plus.. the pics Clint posted Thursday cleary show he’s at the current jobsite.. so if that was what happened.. why have we not seen it at least on the site.. unless the vids we’ve seen from Chris all pre-date the delivery…
