Big John This is the latest paint job for Big John.
[leo cecil, 01/19/2010]Currently Big John is being painted. Since he does not appear to be metal the primer and touch-up paint is grey and red. Big John stands in a truck parking lot and whether north or south bound you can access the parking lot to get up to see him. Have fun everybody.
