Looking good! Can't wait to see the finished product. As far as color it's your CUCV do as you wish. If there were only a hundred produced yeah you might get hammered for it but there were plenty built and being preserved by/for the purists.
My bodywork is kinda like V8Astro said above,"looks...
I think he'd have more than just YOUR CUCV in there! Wow, I don't even have 7000 square ft of land! My shop's only 600 sq ft.
CgaEngineer, got pics of that monster? (not trying to hijack, Cucvnut, I'd just like to see a shop that big). What the heck is it, a hangar?
Hey Mark, Congrats on the new life under the hood!! Cool !
Sounds like the switch may still be the culprit, not shutting down the fuel pump maybe there's a relay between the switch and pump??. Still thinking maybe a bad wire on the "start" position.
Glad you got to hear 'er run!!!:grd:
Never jumped out of a plane and never owned a Deuce (driven plenty of them in the Army).
If this was an offer to "all who would skydive once for a Deuce", I'd be in line!
I'm still looking for the right "deal" for my wife so I can get a Deuce or 5 ton. I bought her a new truck this past year...
Best wishes on the truck! Looks good. How does it do with the 350 in it? Someone here's gonna ask for more pictures than what's in you avatar, so I may as well do it. More pics please!

I'm always at the wrong place at the wrong time when the lots hit Shelby. When I'm at the right place there's always something...
That does suck that your trailer got vandalized! I sure hope they get caught too. If you catch him/them yourself keep 'em there til some of us can make it up you way and we can ...........nevermind, you're handling it the right way. They will get theirs sooner or later.
Could be that the iron...
Welcome from Mississippi! Looks like a good score. Keep us posted with pics of repairs/mods to it. And YES, there is a site rule that says you have to include your address. Heck, some of us may even be able to visit your shop if we know where you are.

Here's the paint I found. It wasn't expensive at all ($10.99 a gallon at a local hardware store). I'm attaching the info on it from their website. According to this, all the guys who had questions about painting canvas on the deuces and 5 tons may want to try it. I'm not sure how well it's going...
Hey Healy, it's your 1009, I say go for it! That DT pattern would look good on a CUCV. If you decide to do it don't forget to post pics. Have you found a pattern/color layout the DualTex? I've never seen it done but as far as it being realistic I'm sure it would look just right. Never seen a...
