Man that looks nice! I hope mine turns out that nice. I hope to start spraying the 24087 od this coming sat. if the weather cooperates. Nice to see another in its original color.
Good luck and take care of it

That is beyond outstanding. Where did you get the paint? Oil base? Military. Sherwin Williams? Inquiring minds want to know that thing looks so good!

I am, trying to decide on a new set of tires. What are those? How do you like them? Do they use the same tubes as the ndt's? Anyone know where to get some and a fair price?

I really don't like using the word hate but if I were to hate something it would be CARC. I was planning on removing all of mine and doing exactly what you did with your duece. I think that is a really GREAT job. keep up the good work.

As Pete said I used Rapco paint it's top quality. It took 2 gallons to do the truck(inside, out, and underneath). It took about a week with the prep work and painting then stencils. The truck just had light surface rust so most prep was done with a drill and a wire brush. I had my son use a needle scalier on the bed. The prep was primed with rustolium rust primer. The truck was shot with a HVLP gun and compressor. I have my own vinyl cutter so I made all my own stencils. I will order a couple cans of Rapco spray cans for touch up. The reason I got a soft top is I like it off in nice weather. Also I have a canvas top on order. :-D
