It's a dang field out in BFE.....for crying out...
I did get the floorboard fabricated in the 715. Couple more things to do at the hooch and then get back onto this thing. Rear of cab wall needs fabricating next...unit is about 1/4th sanded.
Everything masked off. Brush guard removed. Drivers side floorpans cut out and tomorrow will be fitting in the new replacement. Passenger side just needs a minimal patch.
Still have to get a passenger side cab corner.
Got the second wash finished up while the owner lounges around watching the transformation. He never did open me a beer the rascal.

Thank ya Mr. Kenny.

I just love bringing them back to life for owners selectively if ya know what I mean. Mike is an outstanding trooper and a great representation of Steelsoldiers. It...
We know that if it's not well taken care of the Georgia Mafia boys including Vinny will be headed westerly bound.....it was an honor to be within driving range to ride on many Veterans Day Parades....MOH Ceremonies plus other small events Papabear represented it at.
Watched the fellas load...
I just sent Mike an interior picture with it cleaned up.....I think he is going to have some incentive now.
CUCV is finished and Mike still has a couple pictures to post up of the BLACK painted.
He plans on picking it up June 1st....so some blubbering from Mike should be getting posted I...
I believe that was a Canadian that owned that rig. See the difference in the brush guard. Somewhere in our thread I THINK we showed this....heck even JEEPERS CREEPERS got shown. But that was NOT a K18C.
