Ok, wait a friggin minute!!

I see what's happening here!!
You and Zout are plotting against me!! You both are doing such an excellent job that you know we would never put either one of these WC's side by side with our other motley stuff!!:shock:

Well I have news for ya...we can always brush up our other stuff...maybe.:beer:

PLUS...I'm holding a CHERRY M43 Ambulance hostage til I get the WC22 back!!:papabear:

TWM has me outgunned here - he has dug into all the components and rebuilt them to perfection - like new condition.

Lloyd is a whole nother story - and I am doing my best to follow in his steps.

I'll be getting the rear section blasted tonight - and NO I did not blast the underside front area of the frame lips - its too low to the ground.
But they will not be once its back in the garage with the upper most sections done in epoxy primer - I'll get it up on the stands in a nicer working environment and then sick the bulldog on it. You gotta know this area would not go untouched sooner or later. Beides - being up in the air will make it easier to start working on the brakes/lines - etc etc etc.

I will get all the blasting done at one time - moving the cab outside and then the bed - getting them both into primer as well.

I need to find my bung hole again to be able to push that chassis back into its hole inside the garage.:popcorn:

I think i figured out Dave's secrete! You know when he said he didn't do much....well he didn't! He was actually sleeping after consuming his usual cherries and pixies came and did all the work on the WC while he was sleeping. That is how so much work got done is a short time! :papabear:


:not worthy::not worthy: :grd: [thumbzup] But seriously, you are doing a great job! I wish I lived closer. I would love to come and help and learn from the master....:tank:

Excuse me Superman, you should be able to pick that puppy up with one hand and carry it back in. Wish I could be there to help but I know the WC will be finished and back at PB's before the 27th. :razz:

Finished blasting the rear section - then the job of moving it back in the garage started - and what a task it was. I will finish spraying what I blasted tomorrow night now that it is out of the weather and get it up in the air on stands after twitching it around a little bit. Looks like the work begins.Photo1631.jpgPhoto1632.jpgPhoto1633.jpg
