Fired up the paint gun tonight - no more for explantion than these pics.
Also started on filling in with Duraglass the panels welded into the window frame holes.
Here ya go for your viewing pleasure
This one pic I believe was a field hospital in Nam. I had a couple more from Da Nang of the ambulances and one of another the Red Cross just mutilated by gunfire sitting on the side of the road.
I as well let a lot of dents and dings in this one - just sacralidge to remove them. I do not want...
PB and I are still discussing power plants.
It is a little ways off to start even thinking of stuffing an engine in the hole - like Ghostdriver is working on - getting mine up on stands and start tearing down the brakes. I did see last night when pressure washing one of the front knuckle...
Man do I feel embarrased on my speed after watching these pics - what does it feel like to be able to touch and feel an engine [thumbzup]
It may have nothing to do with old age and forgetfulness - I think GD is messing with you and just hiding stuff around the shop just to watch you look for...
Before & after pics of the interior cut out window sections the CD did.
Made plates with the ends angled to slip inside to give a secure weld and stability. I will grind the welds down and get this finished up before painting of course.
Also pressure washed the engine bay - frame rails...
Some days I look in the mirror and say "Dave" - Dave's my name ya know
I say Dave - ya need to give yourself a break - so I take a few minutes break and go right after it again.
Squirt - I really do enjoy the pace I work at believe it or not - its the only speed I know - balls to the wall. I...
Couple better shots of the ambulance section.
Plasma cutting the plates for filling of the window holes now in the inside.
Pressure wash tomorrow night the inside engine compartment frame area and front diff.
Fingers crossed I can get the inside of the ambulance in paint by end of the...
WELL ! This outta just pucker ya up PB
Ambulance section totally blasted and blown out.
Roof was done yesterday.
You outta try driving the 109 hooked to the 43 and moving it by your self - now that was a task.

Yup - that is not a typing error. Now I know the world is messed up.
Now I have to see if I can get the civies to the Rally so you can become the...
Got back from DG and had an absolute great time.
Went back down to the garage as the sound of the M43 was calling my name. When we left for DQ it was 104 on outside temp gauge on the van. I know my little digital thermometer melted where I had it so I can no longer bore you with pics of how...
Now that is funny - I need one of those sissy cool suits.:beer:
Here is what today brought so far - headed to Dairy Queen with the 4 boys and come back and hit some more.
Cowl needs primered
Roof cut down and will get out there early tomorrow morning to cut it down one more time. Sprayed rust converter on it to catch the surface stuff. Should have this into primer by noon.
So my neighbor comes over that some of you met at the roast and is curious as to what I...
Headed into a Holiday weekend with a few days off - Reminds me of going to the Ga Rally - hey speaking of the Ga Rally.
Might have to hunt for some medical stuff for the 43 if anyone is considering in the future to bring some.
I would need a lolipop to suck on while walking around all that - I could blame the drooling on something else.
It would be an honor just to sit around watching the rebuilders working on them to clean them up.
There is just so much stuff there - maybe that idea of loosing one is not far off...
