Can I ask what sander you are using ?

 

[zout]

Their not Hutchins - But its german Hauslaband or something like that. I have 3 of them along with the in line sander - top notch tool. Got wet sanding with the 3m hookit stuff I can submerge the da orbital into the water pale and keep on attacking - does not hut a thing and keep them lubed

 

[Rmtaunton]

Thank you , your the man I'll have to find one

 

[zout]

Well - if your not doing much sanding like I do - why not just PM me and ask if ya can borrow one for a few weeks ???? All you need is the sandpaper then.

 

[Rmtaunton]

Thank you thankyou , but I have 5 jeeps ( yes I have a problem) 4 are older than me plus a 47 ford tractor for a long time friend to redo, my goal is to get 53 cj3b done for rally , my orbitals work for the big stuff but then I have always just used a wood block , which I am sure you know will wear you out . So I think it's time to get a couple quality sanders.

Jeep left last night after getting a STAR on the hood painted - I would do no more to it.

We have a run off election here tonight so we're going to do what needs to be done - disgusting on response of others who do not give a chit what happens - that is a whole nother site to carry that on in I guess - But WE"RE going to go do what AMERICANS should do - VOTE.

Now that my rant is over and I feel much better - after voting heading to Northern Equip and get some supplies so I can finally get started like I should be on Adam's 37 - and I am sure being on his end I should have been a little farther as well and not a total slacker. I love Northern Equip and ONLY if I had more $$$$$$$mo la I might be happy (na).

Get some blasting media - get some Da sandpaper and see what tomorrow night brings.
Got the front of the garage all cleaned up and pressure washed - got a couple things to move in the garage once I can stick it in - then ya all hold onto your breath - do not blink - do not twitch - we'll see what this idiot can do with a Navy M37.

Went to Northern Tool in San Antonio today and they said the Atlanta store called and wanted to know where Zout is. I am sure they will be pleased when you visit.

Removed the doors lower running boards rusted out seals - cleaned up the gauge bezels before duct taping them off - on the backside of the cab there were rivets protruding through and annoying and sure hope Ferro was not fond of them. Got all the lenses/lights/reflectors/gauges all duct taped off and ready to start spot blasting hopefully tomorrow night.

Played a bit on the drivers side interior door - spots not sanded get spot blasted.
Got done with what I could time allowing.

God bless,

I got to visit the Northern Tool down by you Z when I came to the cookout. I had to pick up some more Anti-Monkey Butt.

Wow... Adam is a lucky man. I don't see the usual rot along the door bottoms, bottom corner on the rear of the cab, or under the grill on the front fender/lights.
Looks like you can whip this one out without much magic required by the "Commander"!

 

[zout]

There is no way around it unless you just throw in the towel and just not do it - meaning the front of the box & rear of cab area's that have had gobs of paint thrown on them through the couple inch space available - and then you sure cannot get a coat of paint on hardly any of it the correct way.

SO - after some talking with myself which I do a lot - box is coming off & most likely this weekend. I already have the box hold down bolt kit ordered to put it back together correctly w/right hardware - besides the front of the box is dented in towards the cab and this needs to be straighted as well. Just makes more sence to seperate them and do the box by itself with the chassis and remainder in the garage. I can always tarp over the box while working in between items.

 

[papabear]

I agree with removing the bed/box. When we did my M37 we didn't. You can't see any unpainted areas...but I know they are there!!

 

[T. Highway]

I agree, the box comes off so easily you might as well remove it. Looks good so far.

sorry wrong post lol

Navy Grey?

Have you made any decisions about color yet?

 

[Ferroequinologist]

Looking outstanding commander!

The seats are just sitting in there, you can just pull them out.

Navy Grey- FS16081

Battleship grey- FS36118

I was thinking battleship grey would be awesome for the underside/frame and wheels.

Yep. Going to go for grey.

I think he was leaning towards Air Force blue.
