[Tin Medic]

Dont feed it to much, last thing we need is a large mouse running around the KC.

 

[Tin Medic]

Oh yea, tell Deb to hide the food cause once they know where its at they wont leave.

 

[Tin Medic]

So, will it be shiny like this?

Looks like it's about time for the ole girl to make the trip to the "Extreme Makeover" shop. Now I'm starting to get excited...that's a rare treat for me!!

Hey...you gotta promise not to give Tinwoodsman my credit card number this time. Had to cancel the other one due to all those "900" number calls!!

Then I am glad you never saw all that wood for the back end of the WC THAT HE IS GOING TO PAINT - off your CC - he was bragging about it to me - you should have at lease a say in the paint issue then I would think ??

For other folks watching - just stay tuned here as the build pics will just keep getting posted here without a new thread on it - this thread has been fun so far.

That's OK. Once the WC-51 gets up here for The Gathering and the 2014 GA Rally...it will never leave!!

PB & Bear decided to take a trip today with one of the wreckers and the KC on the backend of it. Had a great KC Fried Chicken lunch he brought down from kentucky with him (he will get that stab) but anyhow - got the soaps all out - water on - pressure washer was ready and awaiting its arrival.

Got to soaping it down really good with WILD DOG and the truck wash soap. The passenger side is nearly down to metal and all of the paint GONE. I will go back tomorrow and get onto the previous washed stuff now that I have the mix right for getting all the paint off. This will save some major dollars in prep work leaving metal repair work ahead - tad bit of body repair and onto pressure sand blasting sections at a time and getting bare metal 2k primer on it.

All the major exterior work will be in blasting and cleaning up the rust - the 2 k once prep'd right will handle the rest - Matrix products already on hand for the work and duty call.

I'd post pics but I am on Debs laptop as my hard drive took a dump and the PC is at the computer shop down the road for repair - will catch up on pics when I get it back for ya all couch potatoes and mice.

 

[Tin Medic]

Sorry but it has to be said.

 

[Tinwoodsman]

So, what do you think? PB can plan to pick up the finished product on April 4th? Commander Warp holds no prisoners.

 

[Tin Medic]

Unleash the mice, that will speed things along.

 

[zout]

I sent PB & Swiss pics off my tonka toy work phone - see if they will post up them crummy pics OR I'll post up when my computer is back with pics off Debs camera.

 

[papabear]

Your pics were upside down Zout!!

I DID finally get one pic to download from my phone just to prove the KC-18 is in your capable hands:

When this is done you need to send a completed pic to the seller.

No pic...He's waiting to come see it in person!! That's why he let me get it...so he could see it get fixed up.

 

[Tin Medic]

It should look better than this when its finished.
