Added the brown on top of the 3 coats of green. Had some obstacles to cross some were getting more very nervous and I maintained my composure and struggled forward. Weather being against me. A bit cool to paint. Moving on to the black. Great Day.

I guess when I take all facts into consideration the old 1958 air compressor is doing pretty good. I did do the Honda engine upgrade in 2007. The compressor was brand new in the crate till 1995 and I got it from a friend that purchased it from DRMO. The old Briggs and Stratton Moving right along .

Things did not go as planned. I was contemplating the weather as it was pouring down rain most of the day and at 12 noon I pulled the trigger. Trouble was short to come. During the first coat I had a massive drop in air pressure. I was done with the first coat and BAM. Massive air rush and...

That’s All Folks. I am done for the day

This is the final time Little Red will be sporting the original colors. After a long day at work it is time for a coat of sealer. I washed and dried the entire body top to bottom. I will post more later. Time to get spraying.

That was that old hood that I sprayed for a heat shield in the barn. I don’t like the mystery,

I did some testing not sure yet.

That is enough for 1 day. Tomorrow I must tape up the lower threshold and brackets. Even my cat Smokey is tired. Take Care and Stay Safe.

First off, do you have vacuum at the vacuum pump? Pull the hose off and see if it chirps or sucks your fingertip fast while the engine is running. Use a long piece of hose if you are afraid of the running engine. Then if you do have vacuum run a smaller hose with an adapter to the bottom of VRV...

This is the last time I seen the M1009 in Jonestown. Is Sonic still along for the ride? My Son was 5 years old when I bought this M1009 and he wanted that hanging in the truck. Good Luck. My Son is 33 years old now.

WWRD99 the paint I am offering you is the same as the paint I used on this unit.

We think alike. The cowl screen has been painted already and I scuffed it again to include it with the overall paint process because of the camouflage colors that will be on the cowl screen. And painting it separately assures all the slatted holes are evenly coated. During an overall things like...

I did want to mention that I do set the metal cowl screen in place and push the hood back down to paint the vehicle. Just in case you wondered. Have a Great Day.

Tonight I began the masking process. Like I mentioned this is they way I like to paint an entire vehicle. No glass and I am assured that the pinch welds are clean and painted and all the window rubbers will be clean and free of paint. This is as close to factory as I can get in an early 1900’s...

You can pull the inside cable out and use cable lube. It will work itself up into the speedometer head. They make a small tube of speedometer cable lube. Good Luck

A date has been set. Next Saturday will be paint day. I will spend this entire week getting it prepped for paint. That means cleaning, masking and covering everything I don't want painted or overspray. I suspect it will take the 4 days M-T to get it all ready. Friday, I want to spray the sealer...

Not bad for just scuffing washing and painting

I am out working on the Wild Weasel and am going to spray some black paint on the axle frame core support and inner fenders, I think I have enough paint

I used the ball joint/U joint press to get the old pressed bushings out. It was magical. I used heat in the past. That was messy. My new go to after I don’t have many to do anymore

I would say the sway bar bushings are worn out.
