M1008 recovery and new paint

[trooper632]

Recovered a M1008 here in Texas, graeat shape, absolutely no rust and no dents, what a find. Got it home put batterys on charger, one was good and one was bad, one new battery and she started up. sanded it down and put a new camo paint on it. not bad for the first camo paint job I think, but the next will be better, learn little things along the way.

Nice job..
What may I ask is going on with that strap?

That WAS a great find. Seems that the M1008s were much less 'abused' than the M1009s. Finding a straight one, nicely done! How was the interior? Any need to restore in there?

the straps were extremely long so i just put the ends inside and shut the door no need for tying and they dont blow away, as far as the in terior goes it needs the seat cusion need to be replaced, and the usual dash could be replaced

Nice M1008. What kind of paint did you use? Looks a little shiny but real nice job.
