Looks awesome, Blue, so you got my vote this month. I'll be interested to see how your paint holds up. I used Rapco semi-gloss also, but it faded after about 3 months. Water spots really bad too- hope yours holds up better.Back on her own 10 feet again. I finally traded out her old worn out 9x20's for the beefier 11x20's. Wow, what a difference. Took her on her first test drive this afternoon and all seems well. It was quite literately a cloud of dust and a hardy high ho Silver. There was enough blast media still hidden in the nooks and crannies to build a volleyball court. If I can manage to drag myself out of bed early again tomorrow morning the stenciling should be done by this time tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
I wanted to take this time to thank all my friends who supported me through this project. I need to especially thank Mark W. Charlie G. Connor M, Mark G. and Ed F. for there continued support and time volunteered to get her done. Couldn't have done it without ya fellas.
Looks great- no need to rush things at this point!Finally had a cool enough morning to get most of the stenciling done. Also spent half the evening getting all the tape off the windows or rather my buddy Connor did. She's starting to look like something now..
For all those who are wondering NO 1AD as a unit was not deployed to Vietnam. There was a subset from 1AD that went over with 5ID but Old Ironsides never deployed. These bumper numbers are from my old unit. I was 1AD 3/77 AR in Mannheim Germany when I first enlisted back in 92'.
The tail lights you see hanging are the plastic ones and got torn up during removal. They where so old and brittle they where not worth saving. New set on the way. I will also be replacing my front composts as well for the same reason.
One more early morning for the hood numbers, hood star, and drivers side stencils. The headache rack and troop seats will have to wait a few more weeks for install till the paint cures.
Yeah...but the tank couldn't go far without the tanker...could it??I think Augdog's tank could make DaveP's tanker go boom
