See attached photos, 1984 M1009 CUCV and M101A1 Restored to the best of my ability, what a leaning process! Let me enjoy this for a while before I start something else...shhhhh Do NOT tell her there may be something else !!!
This is how I can remember the CUCVs (-) the camo pattern. Anything Else or any input , please your comments are welcome.

Looks super nice and the rolling hills, what a sight. You can't appreciate scenery like that until you live in FL for 20+ years. You can't appreciate grass until you live here. Nothing but crab grass.

Well I do see something I need to readdress ALREADY... How can you stop these Government Rust BUCKETS from RUSTING ? Looks like this winter I will have to tear into the rear panel around the wheel well.. Uhhh sounds like a weld job... Thanks Recovery this is a great place to live all out here by ourselfs and the deer, turkeys, coyoties , ...etc.... but the view is the best.

Nicely done. It's work like that, that inspires a lot of us to keep striving to improve the look of our toys. :beer:

But its really not that great , I see some stuff I already need to take the "TIME" and go back and redo ... NEVER ENDING PROJECT I guess.. I wish there were better rust protection back then ...
