The rebuilt military Detroits I have seen were done in the early '80's in Forest Green. I haven't seen a later rebuilt 3-53.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
CRS is one of the many side affects of MS so you'll need to remind me to remind you in 30 days. Likely I'll still be working on that bolt.Good advice! But I got CRS, remind me again in 30 days.![]()
What's currently on there is lighter than that. More like really faded 383. I'm going to concentrate more on getting it back together and less on how it looks. I prefer driving it more than staring at it.When you run into a green that is "almost 383 green, but not quite" on equipment, it is likely 34079 Forest Green. It is the normal factory green for antenna bases, gun mounts, and other equipment (post-OD period).
It is the dark green used in the MERDC camo (also USAF aircraft, and airfield support gear in 24079 guise), available from Rapco and others.

They left most of those bolts out of mine, guess the last mechanic who worked on it decided they were too hard to get to and not real necessary.CRS is one of the many side affects of MS so you'll need to remind me to remind you in 30 days. Likely I'll still be working on that bolt.

If you need me tomorrow, the wife is working so I have a kitchen pass.
I'm not rebuilding this one. It's going to be carved up and sent to 2 other Goats in progress. I'll let my misfortune be to someone else's benefit. Of course if any extra soft top hardware is floating around I wouldn't be against using these as collateral.You can see those little steel tubes I was telling you about, in the water holes. They are designed to lesson the possibility of erosion to the block top by the water flow. When you order the gasket set be sure to tell them it's the aluminum block. They will say, HUH? The right gasket set will have new steel
tubes and silicone tubes to put them in.
That's an amazing amount of work you've put in there. Thanks!Check out the aluminum cooling system from the Ol' Goat website
