Ok... so where have I been? Busy!

Since my last post, I've painted the pioneer tools to match, the interior has been painted to match and the floor and bed have been rhino-lined. I've got one mirror on and will be adding the second when I get home.

I am having the seats recovered and when I get in and mounth them and the second mirror, I think I can place a check mark in the "Done" column...

Here are some pics I have on my PC, I'll be adding more soon from my phone:

Most recently...

The main thing I've done is start the preparation to register her as a "Historic Military Vehicle", so "Dirty Gerty" needed to come off the hood and be replaced with her VIN, Military style...

Does anyone know the correct font for the numbers?


For that vintage truck, bridge plates were flat chrome yellow.

They added a little pizazz...
Would this be correct for the bridge plate?

I've got to find some semi-transparent tape so I can outline the numbers. All of the stencils I found are too large or small.
Search Delta Team Decals on FB. I have heard good things about them.
