To windy to do any painting today after all these storms. I just love the farm. If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely be a farmer. And yes, I do know of the hazards and risks.
Lloyd, I guess I'm just going to have to make that two hour drive to buy my vegetables. That truck is looking fantastic, and words from Storm51 come to mind. Take it down and do it right the first time. Unfortunately, I don't have the space, tools, or money to do it all right now. My truck is looking fine right now and coming along very good, but I could not hold a candle to you. Just getting it ready for preservation for the next time. Removing rust and paint does wonders.
Congratulations. I look forward to seeing the finished product. Also, keep in mind, you have the choice between the Superlugs and the 9X16 NDTs now days. You can get either by buying a M101A1 trailer or two and removing the wheels.
My M-37 ended up with some like new wheels and tires (Superlugs) from my trailers, and still have a period correct trailer to put on the back of the M-37, but moved the 9X16 NDTs to the trailer. The paint job on my wheels, while looking fairly good, will not compare with a complete stripping, priming and painting like yours. Just fantastic!
