Oh man my stomach's starting to hurt for someone out there...WOW. I know there's a SS in here from Oregon who won a couple of those trucks.

Today I began putting the cab back together. Ahh, there's just something about a newly painted dash and fresh looking dataplates. It's quite contrasting. To add more contrast I added stainless steel dataplate mounting screws...well originally it was to combat the hard to remove old ones because...

I get my paint for $22/ gallon with the 10% military discount they offer.

You know Rob it must be all those trips north of the border. It's starting to rub on me, eh. I love it Rob. I have the other colors but this all green color is starting to grow on me....hmm what to do

Sure!! We can have a paint party at the next mini rally;-)

Didn't use any primer. Just washed the CARC down using a hard bristled floor brush, primed the questionable areas w/rusty metal primer, wiped down potential oily spots with rubbing alcohol, then shot the paint (total run on sentence;-) )

Hi Ed, no I picked up the ring mount legs a couple years ago and just picked up the MOD 2 (M240/249) mount last week. I would much rather have something that'll hold the ma deuce. Since I don't have the full ring, I was afraid the weight of an M2 on the one leg would cause it to sway way too...

I had Home Depot color match a brand new HEMTT metal stave last year for the 383 Green. Then I took in a patch of 383 Brown on Saturday and they matched that as well. Yesterday I had them mix up the blackest black they had. Once I shoot those colors I'll post the recipe. They greatest thing...

Thanks, I can't wait either.im getting a little impatient....ha ha

Total for this paint j job thus far is $44. Hey scott there its hardly any overspray when using that wagner sprayer. You can probably just paint her in your parking lot a3 your apt.

uh...WOW!! Outstanding job!

it vents the engine

Oh and here are a couple little toys to add to her. Not sure where I'm going to put them but they are way up there on the cool factor.

Haha just had an idea. On the passenger door it read "CARC 9/01" Does this mean I'll have to stencil on "BEHR 7/11"?:shock:

OK here we go. I just shot 2 gallons of 383 Behr CARC substitute. I love it!!!! Here's the thread to see what she looks like: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/73018-1968-jk-m35a2-restoration-project.html

Before pics Pics of what she LOOKED like back when I first got her about 3 years ago. The CARC doesn't look all that bad in the pics. Then again wet CARC looks outstanding. Once she dries out it has the typical white washed looking 383 green CARC. haha looking at the mileage back then, I've...

More restore pics Some pics of the painted cab. Arrgh in looking at the pics I wished I had done some more prep work on the gauge panel. May need to strip and redo that job. I put some pics of the AM-1780 mount if others were interested to see how it's mounted. The two mounting bars are metal...

More restoration pics I took the first couple pics with the sun shining down on part of the hood. As you can see, it's pretty flat compared to the shaded area. The paint texture really adds to the flatness of the paint. Others are just random before/after pics of the cab. Thus far for a soft...

AKA BEHR PAINT TRUCK..haha Well it was a matter of time before this week would come. I've been pondering how I would restore my 1968 JK M35A2 I recovered 3 years ago. Vietnam era truck, desert storm truck, 3 color CARC truck, and MERDC truck were all the ideas I had on her. Recently I...

Haha, this is becoming an all too familiar question. There are a ton of threads started one this. I would just read the first couple posts on each thread. Seems the A3 guys and A2 guys read way into the question and the arguements get flowing about which one is better and why...haha. We all know...
