GoDove HMMWV GMV, Anyone get EUC?

[Lionel]

Ok. More cleanup. The mess left by the sun parched hook and loop tape comes off with a little elbow grease and a rubber pinstripe removing wheel. Amazon, like $6. It still leaves a cleaned area that is a bit darker than the faded carc.

Cleaned and painted the new turret support and tubes. Roof removal next.

Lionel, have you mapped out the bolt holes in the bed and wheelhouses to determine what stuff was used by the previous Operator(s)?

That's the fun part of the puzzle isn't it. These things are full of holes, big and small. I haven't done it yet, I'm just trying to get the basic build together and then fill in as I go.

I'm going to experiment this weekend with a sand slurry mixture to see if I can bring the original color back even more. I'll post progress as I go.

 

[Kickerson]

Very true, they could be heading somewhere else. Just going by what we were told on the lot but I hope he was wrong.

Not sure if those doors are getting scrapped. Placed neatly on a pallet in sets of 4 per pallet ??? Makes you wonder is they will be sold at a later date for a unattainable price. LOL Most of the yards Iv'e been to, scrap stuff is piled up in the back 40 or thrown in a roll away waiting to get shredded.. Idk

 

[Lionel]

Cleanup continues. Didn't take pics, but that green paint pen someone marked these hoods with comes off with lacquer thinner.

​Does anybody know what went in the hole in the dash in front of the heater controls on passenger side? My truck is in pretty decent shape except the rear main drips steady.

 

[Lionel]

Only a guess right now, but I'd say maybe could have been a clock for the commander to navigate.

Tackled roof rust today. After pressure washing I used Kleen Strip metal and concrete prep. It's a phosphoric acid etching and cleaning agent. Pretty mild to work with. For these rust stains I used full strength, brushing it in with a brass brush.
Spread it around with a cheap throway brush and let sit for 10 or 15 minutes. Hit it with the brass brush.

Rinse with water and repeat as needed for the heavier stuff. Let dry, spot prime and paint. This last pic shows the spot after cleaning but before priming and painting.

awind, mcad33 Mike out in California is supposed to be making a 1 pc C Pillar for the sheet metal cargo panel trucks. You can also convert an M1025 sponson set and cross bar. And I have a metal shop close by working on a 3 piece C Pillar for the sheet metal cargo panels and the rollbar style C Pillar for the Military Systems Group Assault Cargo Rail kit, tubing-style cargo rails (that he is also copying (kahlkreations.com). Dave Deland makes the sheet metal cargo panels and the Delta Pillar Brackets for them that I have seen in person. And Mike mcad33 in CA is making the sheet metal cargo panels and Delta Pillar Brackets but I have not see them in person.

Has anyone gotten their SF97 yet?

 

[Lionel]

Trying to decide if I want to stay with the original bumper shelf or go with the BAE stand on setup.

 

[cruzinz28]

I’m a fan of the original bumper with that style real slats.

Since Richie Brother's took over, the EUC process has really slowed down. Not complaining, just sucks to have lots of $$$$$ for multiple vehicles out there in la la land not making more $$$$$....lol... just a somewhat disgruntled buyer sounding off.

Lionel,
I'd like to get some info on the D Pillar mounting points in your picture. What are they? Looks like nylon washers or Riv nuts? I've been trying to figure out how they mounted them.
Thanx

Those look like these rivnut.

 

[Lionel]

Yes they are rivnuts. 3/8 coarse thread. I have one corner that did not line up. I'll fix that later.

Lionel, 86hmwv Thanx, much appreciated. I have a lot of things I'm trying to mount, and hopefully those of you who have these will let us know where all the holes are located at, and their dimensions. Greg, I'm trying to mount the D-Pillars I got from you.
