Repainted truck and sealed the roof.

Well...what started out as just seal a couple spots turned into re-sealing the entire roof...that lead to retouching a couple spots....that lead to well.....repainting the entire truck. After everything was said and done, I rethought what I did. I really should have waited until next spring to have repainted her. Oh well, what's done is done. Now it's time to re-stencil everything.

Any updates? This is an AWESOME thread for a soon to be new M109A3 owner.

 

[wsucougarx]

Sorry, no updates just yet. I still have big plans for her. Darn 5 tons have taken up all my time. Unfortunately, I've got a M35A2C w/w that will need new paint this summer. Looks like that'll take up my time this year.

I found a handy way to avoid kinking copper lines when bending, just fill with fine sand (clean very carefully afterwards of course). I did this when I re-arranged my RV's propane lines and was able to do some really tight bends. I just taped up one end then used a small funnel to get the sand in, tapped a lot to get it completely full, then tape the other end. You can get pretty violent without worrying about a kink.

Just like they did in the original Flight of the Phoenix movie

Done Anything to it this summer?

Never saw the paint posts before. It does really look great. I noticed he never said which paint he used though. I'm just curious because the shades of each color came out perfect.

wsucougarx and I both use the Behr exterior flat paint and have Home Depot mix it with the FS codes that are in their computer.

 

[Jeepsinker]

Gotcha. Like I said, it looks great. I'm happy with mine, though the colors are just a hair darker than they should have been. It is tough paint though, and hasn't faded at all yet.

Hes going to paint mine when its running and exterior is done

Just beautiful. Makes me wish I could keep my 109.

I hope whoever buys it looks after it as well as you are yours.

Sorry guys, no progress on this truck. I still have plans for her but I caught the Gama Goat bug.
