Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

It also had a piece of angle iron across the top of the outside of the gate. I believe these were attempts to make it stronger as the originals did not have these features

Both my original tailgate and the NOS tailgate I got from Red River had the angle iron piece across the top.

I haven't even opened mine up yet, but it came from red river so probably same same, you are making good progress.

It's turning green, after these two pictures I finished the 1st coat on the whole machine. Tomorrow I will get a second coat and work on small items in the blast cabinet. Not a spec of paint to spare, should have ordered another gallon.

 

[m38inmaine]

It's turning green...

 

[Another Ahab]

That's looking great.

 

[Jericho]

nice Job

 

[prodro1]

Man that looks 100% different from the pics of when you first got the goat...GREAT JOB. It looks awesome

 

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

The greening of the goat has begun.

[combat32]

What did you use for the base green color?

Looks good!

 

[m38inmaine]

I'm using Gillespie forest green, field drab, black and tan.

 

[m38inmaine]

Fenders on, passenger fuel tank, both under tank/fender supports, engine cover and a bunch of other brackets etc. That engine cover is a real treat to get on. Oh and my work paid off on the fuel sending unit I made from a M151 sender and my broken goat sender, we have a working fuel gauge.

 

[mkcoen]

The end is near!

 

[Another Ahab]

The end is near!

Yes, indeed, it's really shaping up fast. It looks great!

 

[kubotaman]

What day are you going to be at Weare? Thursday or Friday?

 

[m38inmaine]

I should be arriving Thursday noon time.

 

[BillIdaho]

I am impressed!!!!!

 

[m38inmaine]

I decided not to take the risk of spraying the camo just hours before leaving so for now it will stay forest green. Still painting little items, going to be a long night. Thanks Bill, won't have time to get any commo mounted, have everything but the corner antenna mount.

What comms are you planning to eventually install? RT524, RT246, R442, GRC-106??

 

[m38inmaine]

RT-524 or PRC-25 W/AM-2060 don't recall the numbers for that configuration.
