WC-51 Restoration or Bust!!

[zout]

You may be dead before he finishes it - like watching paint dry. But it will be awesome till ya kick the bucket.

Just in case you think this ribbing is all cruel - TWM knows I am messing with him and he does awesome work - that WC is most bodacious.

 

[Tin Medic]

I'll take that chance for work like his.

I understand why you guys want the wood natural finish. As a compromise I will agree to do the next WC in natural oak.

Boy did you just mess up!~!

Remember the WC-4 in the last trailer? I'll drop it off when I pick up the WC-51.

 

[Tin Medic]

No way PB, I claimed the next WC already.

[papabear]

Any updates ??

Yes. TWM is still alive, just talked to him in chat and at his age that's a major accomplishment.

Oh...wait...did you mean on the WC-51??

Yuk! Yuk! Got all the cargo bed metal and filler work done and hope to prime and paint this week. Need the wind to die down for a while but then again, this is March...

As beautiful as the wood is, I'd paint it.

 

[Tinwoodsman]

Finished the body work and sprayed the high build primer to smooth out some areas. Metal is ready for a light touch up with a scotch brite pad and then the final paint. Need to removed the wood and bed strips and PRIME AND PAINT the wood.

Here are a few pictures:

When your done sanding that stuff turns out baby butt smooth ey - no wrinkles - no pits - no divets - just shear flat surface to shoot a smooth buttery coat of paint onto. But now I know you lost your mind painting that wood - total sacraledge.

Thanks all. Pretty smooth now but I have decided to leave the original spot weld marks on the sides since that was original. I went into the shop this evening and the wood was screaming......We don't want to be nekid anymore....

 

[Tin Medic]
