Hey fellas,
It has taken almost 3 years and a lot of sweat and busted knuckles but the Deuce project is finally complete? If you remember it was smurf blue when I bought her 3 years ago. Then I decided to do a quicky latex paint over. It didn't look bad but not exactly what I had in mind. Finally I decided to bite the bullet and do a full sand blast, prime, and paint with the correct 24087 Vietnam semigloss OD. It was a summer I'll never forget. Word to the wise. Never blast and paint a deuce in 102 degree Texas heat. Any way, since then I have added a full set of 11.00 x 20's a new air-o-matic power assist and front hub lockers.
Since the completion of the deuce I have slipped further down the rabbit hole. I bought a 1951 M43 Ambulance that I'm half way through tear down on and if that wasn't enough I just found two more projects in Austin I brought home last month. A 1948 CJ2a and a 1942 MB. It's to late for me fellas.. Save yourselves..![CooKoo :cookoo: :cookoo:](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/cookoo.gif)
