So it begins but never ends???

OK
Getting ready to button up my makeshift spray booth and prime this afternoon...I'm really starting to wish that I liked jeeps more then deuces

Dang, I wish I had that much ambition. Nice set-up.

Thats the incoming fresh air right? (the second pic)

It looks like it is the filtering system for air being pulled out of the paint booth. We have a set up like that when we do asbestos.
I am thinking of that same sat up with one of my carports on our other farm. Enclose it with plastic and make it into a paint booth. You can catch the 21x18 foot carpoarts on sell some times for around $600 and up. We have about 6 of them now.....I think.
One of the few, Frank USMC RET

 

[Bill W]

Yes its for filtering the air/overspray out of the booth, (makes less of a mess outside)
I bought a roll of 20' X 100' 6mil plastic from Lowes ($94.00) and about $30.00 worth of 2"x4" x16' that I cut down the center half to make the the frame work

 

[hndrsonj]

I like it. It works and is affordable to the average person.

I was working outside and got rained out yesterday and today! Should have moved the project inside.

Your truck is looking great!

I would make you filter box bigger , ( more filters ) so that the filters are less restrictive . It will pull alot more air and you will have less of a fog when you do large jobs . Also a fiberglass less restrictive filter would help . Here is a pic of my homade paintbooth . It is 42 ' L x 21 ' W x 14 ' H . On the floor below the fans you can see the filter I use it is 48" wide about 3" thick roll you cut to lenght needed . It is not restrictive as a furnace fillter and will let large amounts of air pass through it .

 

[jwaller]

thats a lot of plastic

 

[Bill W]

Thanks for the input flyx
I believe the paper filters will catch more paint then the fiberglass matting will ( at the cost of being more restrictive ), yes bigger filter elements would be nice but this setup worked fine when I primed her yesterday ( no fog in the booth) though I did need change them out today before doing top coating ( $6.00 for a 3 filter pack )

 

[Bill W]

Ok
So far I've used 3 gals of WWII semi-gloss, still have a gallon left and just orderd 2 mores gals today., I think I'ts gonna take about 5gals total but I orderd extra gallon
Picture(s) look like theres red primer bleeding through but its just my ( old floppy) camera ( heck I have 4 coats on the drivers door )

 

[DieselBob]

Damm your at it again! Your m37 work made me a 3 year project on mine. Now your at it again with the deuce. Can I at least finish my jeep project before I have to start on the dump?

 

[Bill W]

OK larry I'll try and slow down a bit even though I was suppose to have this done by July 4, 200"9"
Thanks for the compliments guys

 

[clinto]

Bill, you can not slow down for zak.

We need to see this truck in person at the Ga. Rally in October!

 

[Recovry4x4]

Bill, are you re-doing the old purification truck or is this a new project? Either way, its looking sharp.

 

[CGarbee]

Bill, you get tired of playing with the small stuff, come on up to NC and I'll let you work on my five tons... I am sooo far behind on painting stuff it is unreal...

It looks really nice...

I still hate that you sold your M37 just before I was able to get mine on the road. Think how much nicer yours would have looked with mine parked next to it... (not that yours needed the help...).

 

[tigger]

Thats just purdy!!!!!!!!!!! Cant wait till i can get started on mine.

Bill, you can not slow down for zak.

GREAT! a Rally...Now I defintely have to reshoot the pass side fender

Kenny: I sold my old (ex- purification) deuce to Fred before I moved to Ga being I was getting out of the hobby .. I bought this 1969 model up here about 2 years ago.

Cabell...HECK NO!!!...I'm throwing away my paint gun after this is done
