I sprayed my M1009 5 days ago...Noticed today it still seems "soft" and can be scratched with my fingernail. This normal? Its in a garage kept at 65 degrees. I need to put another coat and wondering if its still to early to do so...Thoughts?

First coat of Sherwin Williams 383 CARC......One more coat to go, tough to cover black camo spots, even when sanded. After that, have Als beige spray in liner, then finish up with my new Softtopper...Should be good to go!

Ahhh.....Wonder what the regs were for hauling former communists? I have a 1977 Hungarian blond model I married....Hopefully it doesnt cause any problems ;)

It was stenciled in 3 places, the hood on both sides, and the passenger door. All covered with heavy brushed paint I had to sand..When sanding it revealed NFOCTS....Any idea what this acronym is for?

20-gauge hot rolled mild steel like 1008/1010 alloy is what I used on mine...Seemed about right

Still dont think its black, look close..They sprayed it everywhere, under the hoood, door jambs....Freshly painted in the picture, so not faded....What would one suggest to match the color?

Looks like gray to me..Just curious what I should shoot for to get close to it.

I am referring to the color used on the bumper and grill guard..M1009 from a long past ebay ad http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140862605784

Some over on colorado k5 have done it...Seems plenty doable..my best friend put one in a 69 c20...Went in fine..Only drawback it it was a lot heavier than the small block he pulled out..Really squated the front end....Not sure how it weighs complared to a 6.2

Looks good...What kind of bedliner is that, and how does it match the 383 green?

Not what I wanted to hear...But...Maybe Ill upgrade to some 3.42s.....

So I messed up big time..Doing ball joints on my M1009, didnt even notice the upper adjustment sleeve on the ball joint..Proceeded to get it hot, beat it some...Until suddenly it fell out and it hit me it was there :-( Now, obviously, the new one wont thread in....Is it possible to retap the...

If it wont give you the finish you like, why not use Sherwin Williams 383 carc? In stock, at least at their Brighton location..Buddy shot his buggy with 1 coat and it looks great...Will be using it on mine next month when I get going on it.

Thats what I needed to know...Thanks fellas

Put a drain pug in it while you're at it....Just dont put it where the filter will hit it....I found out the hard way and had to weld the hole I had drilled back up :???:

Is there any database or something to find out what was broken based on this?

Obviously done while in service, just wondering if it may indicate overhaul/replacement, etc...

I went to tractor supply and welded one on the bottom of my hitch..Towed my 17' boat all summer with no problem, contrary to what some here said..I did have one "emergency" (oh ****!) brake application when a teenage pulled out in front of me..Did great...

Just picked one up from NAPA yesterday for $24

Yeah Im starting to think that as well...As much as Id like it desert sand...if I didnt have to replace the rockers Id just spray the outside and leave the interior green...But once rockers are replaced, unless you repaint everything it seems it would be obvious there has been a...
