    Getting the dash put back together Yesterday was a good day to get some things tied up in the dash. I finally got the Aux. and IR lights hooked up. I used a heater rotary switch out of the M939 to power up the lights. The "Lo" setting on the rotary controls the Aux. lights and the "Hi"...

    Finally!!! The paint is done...kind of... Well, my painting is finally completed on the exterior. I still need to do some touching and stenciling but other than that she's pretty much done. I'm still undecided about the interior or the carrier. I may end up MERDC'ing it. For now, the paining...

    MERDC Paint Day #3 Today seemed like everything was finally taking shape. After all these months of accumulating and searching for parts came to fruition. This was one of those projects that seemed like I could never get things going. I've driven a total of 6,000 miles for this project...
