Show your 24087 deuces!!!

[palskidoo]

here's my girl ("EV") and my pulling tractor. EV will be painted up to look as though she were an Experimental Vehicle (hence the EV), just a little personal touch I want to give her.

 

[DUKWjeep]

Me too!

Updates????? Anyone join the 24087 club this year???

What percentage of your deuce has to be painted to count? I got some pieces done so far.....

 

[kcollum]

Here is my work in progress still things to do, And toys to buy!

 

[SteveKuhn]

KCollum: Very nicely done. I'm guessing that you painted the cargo cover. If so, what did you use? I'm guessing it's a green vinyl with black (???) and tan touchovers.

I hope you're planning on bringing it to the MTA show in Sussex NJ in April. It would be a very nice addition to the display area.

Awesome Deuce! Looks like you've done a lot already.

I live in Phillipsburg N.J. Would a bobbed Deuce be welcome at the MTA show? Mine looks stock other than being an axle short.

 

[JCKnife]

Mine is in the garage for the winter in various states of disassembly / stripping / painting. Will finish it up in the spring.

 

[SteveKuhn]

I can't see why a bobbed truck wouldn't be welcome. Just don't expect to win the concours award.

If you're real self conscious about it, watch for the show announcement thread to pop up and ask there. Tell them to blame me.

Steve the cover has not been painted yet that is the way it came, I did try a spot on the cab cover and it is holding up well. Funny thing is the paint is Benjamin Moore Super- Spec Alkyd P-24 semi-gloss and the color is the one in your post number 80 in the Latex house paint thread! The color is spot on to the old 24087 thanks for that info.

 

[SteveKuhn]

Your endorsement of my formula pleases me no end. Thanks.

Have you noticed it changing hue from brownish <-> greenish depending on the light?

Steve

 

[kcollum]

Not really although it is keep inside out of the weather.

 

[SteveKuhn]

Ah --- inside. I only wish. I'd be curious if you notice it outside with different angles of the sun. In the morning my truck looks brown. By noon, it's distinctly green.

I really hope you'll make it to Sussex. I think your truck would be a big hit.

Steve

 

[kcollum]

It may be a touch brown in some low light. The NOS top winch plate I just put on has a hair more green to it but you really have to look close.

Mini deuce lol

Thanks Steve. I may show up regardless. It would be fun to meet other MVOs. Sussex is about 40 miles North of me I think.

I wish we had painted out 1970 Duece its original color when we re-painted it. We went back with the 3 color camo which is how it was painted when it left the service. Next one will be all green.

 

[Docuscg]

Here is mine. Yes, I do have it for sale. Everything is for sale--everything but the wife! I do enjoy my truck and still working on the little things. Can't go anywhere without someone stopping me to look and ask questions. Summer coming and THE BEACH !!!!!!

 

[319]

Geez.....I thought there was only one shade of 24087!

 

[Danger Ranger]

Yeah, me too. There is a separate thread for showing off your deuce. And they look great, but I thought this was for the Vietnam era color?
