One more weekend of paint work and mine will be ready :driver:

Looks like I lucked out, minor runs that were easily concealed. Hopefully they stay hidden, time will tell. Prepped most of my loose parts today. Also painted the wheels and sideboards.

So a 10% chance of a light passing shower ended up being 4 hours of steady rainfall, just after I finished my last coat of green. Call me crazy, but I think the forecast was altered for the fourth as not to deter people from spending money on the holiday. I can't see how you get that wrong, I...

First two coats went very well. Gun is working much better than expected, no runs whatsoever and I am really loving the texture. Now I need to figure out how best to do my camo pattern, I don't want sharp lines but I also don't want everything to look blurry.

Well gentlemen, topcoat weekend is here! We're looking at 3 days of sunshine, low humidity and temps in the low 80's. Progress will resume tomorrow morning at 0900. 8) -GM

Matt (Vintage iron) says the big truck trail rides will be Friday and Saturday at noon. If you are planning on going on the rides have your truck ready for some moderately harsh terrain.

I'll try to contact him on Facebook, he's not on SS much anymore.

Finished the prep today, first topcoat next weekend! Got the exhaust back on but I will need to modify that rear mounting tab. Many layers of paint on the front bumper, I would say at least six. Truck looks like it was originally painted all OD with white stars on the hood and doors. I found two...

Can you tell which ones the new ones are? I am starting to think I'll need to cut the rear mounting tab for exhaust clearance.

Prepped the wheels and some more of the frame / bed frame.

Here are some shots from last year for those of you who have never been.

I'll be bringing my Deuce, should look better in a couple weeks after she's painted.

Question, the picture of the right fenders (old and new) can anyone tell me why they are different? Particularly the exhaust clearance cut, the rear mounting tab ant the oval vs circular hole. I'm assuming it's just a different vintage but just curious.

Made lots of progress today! Started early by taking apart the left fender and everything attached to it, I decided to do the left side first because the hardware looked cleaner and it looked like it would come apart easier. I also wanted to have a good handle on the job before I had to wrestle...

There is a new one advertised on NH CL, believe it's in MA

If anyone wants to rendezvous for a convoy coming up from the south let me know, I'm either going Friday night or Saturday early.

Yup, she's up and running. In the process of painting her now, may or may not have the M66 installed.

I'll be there!!

Thanks! Hope I have the patience, I can only work on her on weekends so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for sunny dry weather.

Made a lot of progress this weekend. Prepped the bed, sides and tailgate. Primer is on, eight cans later. Also replaced my fuel pump today, hopefully will change out the fenders next week.
