Dukw progress thread

Good job!

 

[Danger Ranger]

It's not going to Zout's???

What is the world coming to...?

 

[doghead]

This is not a "money making" project...it's a project of love for the Veterans that used the DUKWS and I want to get her out there for them before they are all gone.

I like your plan!

 

[Recovry4x4]

Great plans Larry. Did anyone else note a lack of Clinto patricipation in this DUKW thread?

 

[papabear]

I think Clinto may have gotten a little "turned off" when I told him we were gonna paint the DUKW bright pink with purple poka dots and put some "spinner" hubcaps on it!

 

[Ferroequinologist]

I sure wish I lived closer to you guys!

Awesome job PB!

Is 'my' Navy jeep, still parked where I left it after the parade?!?!?!

 

[nattieleather]

Sounds like a solid plan. Keep up the good work!

 

[Ferroequinologist]

Is it back from the blaster yet?

 

[ABN173]

Glad I got to see this in person today! Papabear has a awesome collection of which I'm jealous!

[papabear]

OK...so after over a month of holidays, blaster delays and just down right laziness, the DUKW is sitting patiently on the landoll hooked to the M818 and awaiting transport to the blaster tomorrow.
Not sure how long it will take as the blaster is gonna work on her in between other jobs to keep my cost down.

Anyhoo, I'll take some pics and post them tomorrow night when she is safely nestled in at the blaster's AO.

Way Kewl PB! Laziness from the "Imperial First Sergeant"? Tell us it ain't so, Top! LOL I'm sure there is a plausible and justifiable reason! LOL
God bless,
Tony

Bare metal, or smithereens?

 

[jcappeljr]

I have 10 nos 1100x18 tires for sale.I bought them for my gama goat.They are hard to find.

 

[papabear]

Bare metal, or smithereens?

Oh yea of little faith!!! Bare metal of course. I know she LOOKS terrible but there is actually very little rot and that's confined to the lower hull and easily cut out and repaired as it's flat panel areas.

You won't believe the difference when we get her blasted and primed.

It will be great to see it up and running. If nothing else, just to prove you can stuff a bear inside a duck and drive it around!
