Nice to see someone taking the time to do things right while keeping drivability as a goal. An inspiration as I start on my deuce. Hope it turns out as well. I have a lot of rust to remove under the bed area............................... Cannot wait for nice weather again next year. I did not buy the deuce untill fall this year, a bit late. Well: winter is for planning and ideas.
I've got an original 50s or 60s vintage US Jerry can, but it's 383 green as far as I can tell. It needs a paint job badly, but I like that brown color you used.
I've been gone for a bit, but thank you again for all the compliments.
The Fuel Can is plastic, made by Scepter Canada, in their Drab Green. Now, they are almost impossible to find! Current USGI & NATO issue.
The paint is Omni Coatings from PPG, and is a polyeurethane flat Military 383 green. It actually is smooth to the touch unlike CARC, which aids in keeping it clean when washing.
