Dude, between the weather and school and work I'm going through withdrawal not being able to work on her. I'm already planning on the parts purchases for spring, and I haven't had the time to install all of the stuff I already have. I have to get out there this week.

You aren't kidding! I know it's just the base coat... I have one more layer to put on top of this in the spring, and then the camo pattern layers, but it sure felt good to get it done. We have a good chance of snow on Wed. and October in Michigan is already Monsoon season. I got lucky the...

Ok... here is the base coat(s).

Got a base coat on... beat. More to do tomorrow. Pics to follow.

Thanks guys! I've been trying to get as much done in what little time I have left to work in as possible. I need to re-stitch the soft top to the plastic at the windshield mount. It started to separate a little when I was trying to get the top back on last night. Seeing as the truck isn't...

Well... she's out of the booth.

I'm seriously considering building a **** tire breaker. For $100 I should be able to knock something together.

I have the first round of parts, one more big round of pick-ups to go and sandblasting next week. I now have the stuff, but I'm running out of time.

Still waiting on calls to pick up parts... I have gotten jack squat done on the truck. But, I did rebuild the front end of my GFs mother's car, cleaned my mothers gutters, mowed for my aunts, ran a ton of errands, and have been called into work on my "vacation." ARRGGHHHHHHHH! I now have a...

Primer purchased. Rustoleum Professional Rusty Metal Primer. Grabbed a gallon and a quart, as well as a gallon of Acetone for cleaning and thinning. Picked up a cheap HVLP sprayer at HF with a damaged box for $9.60, air line filters, moon suits for painting, (Forgot to pick up a respirator...

This week, then next week... then a week off to work on the truck. I have a lot done already,75% of the paint is off. 4 gallons of paint acquired, need to pick up my primer. Parts found, it's going to be a big day to drive about 350 miles to pick up stuff from Copemish and Holland some time...

As was said by others, Uncle Sam didn't do the best paint work. This truck was a private purchase but unchanged from when it left GL. I have counted at least 5 distinct paint jobs. Going back in time desert tan (Modern), pinkish-desert tan(Gulf War I?), at least two different 3 color jobs... one...

That's about what I'm thinking as well. The paint stripping tests are done... Pressure washer first.. then needle scaler... then wet sandblaster. Polycarbide discs for the big flats the needle scaler fails at cutting. I think that is the most cost effective method to get the job done without...

That's how bowed the front of the bed is. Not pretty, but then again, nothing that really bothers me either. I'm thinking a couple of holes with large eye-bolts and run a strap back to a good sized tree out the back of the bed. See if that can yank it back to square. While I'm fixing...
