I finally finished painting my deuce today! I shut the compressor down and cleaned up just after sundown. Can't wait to see what it looks like tomorrow in the daylight! :D

I just finished painting my M35A2 today at sundown! The nice dry weather and warm temperatures allowed me to get it all completed outside in a three day timespan. It's all covered, topside and under, in Behr (Fed Standard 383 CARC Green ) excluding the cab interior. The prep work is the most...

Hey... don't sell yourself short. I'd say what you've done with your MV build projects is pretty nice! [thumbzup]

I located this pic of a Marine paperclip. I'm wondering if this looks more like the one you had... and Jeepsinker now has on his truck? I forget where this pic came from (I downloaded several while searching and snoozzzzzzing :oops: and lost the link), but I think it was in an old SS thread...

Hi clinto... I'm more interested than before to find out about the paperclips on Marine trucks. If I find any printed, offical info... I'll let you know. I love the truck in your photo. Thanks for posting it! [thumbzup]

I've not seen one either. And... I'm no expert for sure. I'm just trying to learn as much as I can about these MV's. Your truck is actually the first photo of a Marine truck where I've seen them pointed down (winch, or no winch). From what I recall my friend said: The paperclips pointed up if it...

Hey... I really love that particular design!! [thumbzup]

Paperclip bumper... Following my previous post, I've discovered a few things. Seems like on Marine trucks in-transport via ship, the bumpers were mounted with the loops all on top of the bumper. Once at their destination, winched trucks had the bumpers removed, flipped and reinstalled to...

Love the pics! It looks pretty awesome to me! Being rust free is a huge plus. Have fun with the clean-up and fix-up. About the Marine 'paperclip' bumper': I've seen a few of them around, but yours is the first one I've noticed that has the paperclips facing downward (with the 'loops' under...

That would be cool! Glad to hear all went well! Those trucks look great along the treeline! Thanks for sharing the pics! I enjoyed them. [thumbzup]

I've got to quit taking such long naps on these nice, warm December days!

I'm really hoping that, one of these days, someone adds a 'happy ending' post to this thread. I sooooooooooo want the owners to get their stolen MV back in one piece.
