Progress on the restoration

[67Beast]

Well I got the back half of the frame and the dump lift painted today. I sand blasted off the heavy flakes and scale then primed and painted it all 24087 OD green. I pick up my new bed on tuesday and hope to get that cleaned up and painted within the next 2 weeks so that I can get it mounted on. Then it will be on to working on the cab and fixing the 2 rust spots under the doors.

I also sanded the front bumper a bit to find the last set of unit markings on the truck. 2/107 CAV, the Ohio National Guard. It figures, as I was born in Ohio and lived there through my college years before migrating to Michigan. And so it truns out that my M35 has done the same thing.

I was also a little green today. There was a light wind blowing towards me that helped coat me also with a light dusting of overspray.

looking good wish I could paint like that.

Painting is the easy part, it's the prep work that makes the difference in a paint job. A good clean prep work makes the paint go on trouble free.

Amen to that! The actual spraying is the fun part.

Yeah, for every 10 minutes of spraying, you need to perform 45 minutes to an hour of sanding prep...... but it IS worth it, nice work!

I just need a lift for the bed of the M35 I need to get!
