CHUCKY'S TREE HOUSE !

[chucky]

Just put 5 gallons of 383 on my 1083 camper ! Mixed 4 part 383 1 part laquer thinner and it came out great .There was some concern with the Rapco being to glossy so i used 4 to 1 paint and laquer thinner shot it outside in 80 degree sunshine i shot 5 gallons and not 1 run and thats not because im a good painter it went on so easy the truck was like a sponge ! I sanded the cab and box with a da and 220 and a scuffpad and it came out flat no sheen . If i had known it would go so easy i would have done this a year ago.

Rapco is great paint!

I've used Rapco paint for about 20 years, and will continue to do so. It has held up very well over time.
It does have something of a sheen when first applied, but that fades to flat in a week or two after application.

Cheers

You did sorta what was thinking with the air cleaner if I was to push my ambulance box up to the cab (but that would mean rebuild walls and move wheel wells.. but I digress) Got a question about the added on chamber shown in the first pic.. what is the purpose of that?

I made that intake box when i first started playing with the idea of a big generator set was that i didnt think the intake hose would go around the back of the gen windings but i was able to use factory intake pipe through the bend around the tail so i did away with that box

Nice. I'm glad I saw your pictures. We are planning on doing a container on ours also. Ours is a high cube so we may cut it at the bottom and have the sides hang over.

Well come on in the water is fine !

I just caught that icon in your post that said m1090 are you going to mount a box to your dump bed?

That's the plan. Going to cut the dump sides and mount similar to what you have by cutting the container floor out.

It's a 45' high cube, so may do a sleeper above the cab since we have the dump to raise it and clear cab tilt for service.

Got 5 to fit in there so every bit counts.

And on top of that, if you have a sleepy-head who won't get out of bed you have the opportunity to stand them up and slide them out the back door! This might be really fun

Man thats a hell of a good idea . Go get you a new automatic welding hood and new gloves and atleast 50 lbs of rods your gona need em!!! And a good respirator for when your grinding any of that green paint before welding that carc paint in the lungs is bad bad juju dont push your luck . Keep us up to date when you get started and one day at a time theres no rush .
