    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    It's turning green, after these two pictures I finished the 1st coat on the whole machine. Tomorrow I will get a second coat and work on small items in the blast cabinet. Not a spec of paint to spare, should have ordered another gallon.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Not sure if I can get the camo on as I am just starting the green so it may be just green. Had some thunder showers today that put me behind some.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    More sanding and painting today, bottom and top of front fenders 1st coat of green and primed the carrier front rack. That rack was time consuming for sure, a lot of surface area.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Thanks guys, I spent a lot of time sanding those fins, what a pain. A few are bent but there is just so much you can do, they are pretty fragile.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Finished sanding the two front fenders, inner fenders and engine cover. Hit all the bare spots with zinc chromate primer. Got the first coat of forest green on the engine cover. Another long day of sanding and painting tomorrow as it may rain Saturday.

    It would be easy enough to cut off 1" at each end with a cut off wheel or a good set of dikes.

    Great, that book should keep you busy for a while. I'm not sure about the grease fitting, but I won't be using it.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    While I remember I thought I would post a warning about over greasing an area on the goat. In the -10 they show a picture of a grease fitting called the spindle/service brake. Those of you that have worked on other 4x4 trucks probably would think(as I did)that this would apply grease to the...
