Wiper Linkage cpf240, that's exactly what I did to get mine to move more smoothly and faster. The linkage, over the years I of neglect, had gotten pretty cruddy between the contacts. Removing the cowl panel and plastic screen will get you right to the linkage where you can clean/lube them. The...

Cure time Thanks Gunfreak, I read your posts before, and after spraying the camo on Butterbean I left it parked in the shop for 3 wks while I was at work. I believe with the Floetrol it's best to let it cure anyway. It's been rained on twice since I drove it outta the shop, and the paint is...

Butterbean is Camo again! Got the CUCV painted two days ago. Used a mixture of Lowe's and BLP Mobile greens to get the green as close to CARC as I could. Used BLP Mobile black and brown. Sprayed with an hvlp from Harbor Freight with a separate one-quart pot. Used Floe-trol on all colors. I'm...

Back to Camo Finished the paint job.

Jeff, I seriously don't know the name or formula for the color. I bought a gallon of paint at Lowe's a while back, and looking at it under their flourescent lights (big mistake), it looked really close to CARC green. I was surprised and dissappointed at how light it turned out to be but went...

Paint Job, Tagged, and inspected Finally got around to painting Butterbean a darker green. Close to CARC green, I formulated my own color from one light green and a dark green. Got my Antique Liscense Plate on, got it inspected today and painted it today. Next move will be new tires and...

Butterbean's new shade of green....$26 total Finally got the CUCV painted. I had a good bit of the green latex left over that helped me decide Butterbean's name, so I bought some darker green, mixed unitl I got as close as I could to CARC green and went with it. It still needs another light...

Measurements Looks good. The stock on the grille guard is 1 1/2" X 1/4" thick. The rectangular lights in the bumpers are Blackout Marker Lights. You may be able to find a whole set of blackout lights for it and make them work on your Bronco. Here's a pic of the front of mine so you can see...

That sucks. Sorry to hear that. Many times I've been all excited about something and at the last minute it would get put on hold or even fall through. (not by my choice). That kinda knocks you on your butt. Get up, dust yourself off, plan the next attempt. You didn't make an arse of yourself, it...

Welcome from Mississippi! :beer:

Welcome from Mississippi! Sounds like you're going to have quite a CUCV there with the axles! Do the tires rub anywhere? You might want to try some spacers behind the wheels for clearance if it's just the wheels touching. There are plenty on here with better advise, so stay tuned. ps- We'd like...

Heath, congratulations! I've been seeing "coming home 2-04-12" on your signature since I've been on SS. Looks good! I know you're excited about getting her home! I did my share of logging a while back, but never skidded logs with a Deuce. I'd say since you have more vital organs exposed under...

Thanks PB, now it's REALLY wierd!:shock: I was hearing the Mississippi Elvis accent before.

M1008driver, same thing here. Every time I read one of DH's posts I kinda hear Elvis' voice reading it to me.......then glance up at his avatar..........That's wierd. :shock:

Very nice! I've been tinkering with my own paint job from the "latex/acrylic house paint" thread, and it's been coming out ok, but MAN!!!! that is a nice looking paint job!! I've priced the Gillespie and it aint too bad considering the quality. I'm checking my piggy bank soon as I get home...

I say clean a small section of the CARC and paint the OD over it and see how it goes on, how it looks, and how it holds up for a week or two. If it's good to go then I'd go for it. That CARC is some pretty tough stuff to remove and it's a good base coat. Jimmy

Picked up Got pics??

Welcome from Mississippi!

Nice! Adding that to my "I want one" list! [thumbzup]
