Lets hope weather permitting and that I have good Karma I think it's a reasonable timeline, busy but doable I got nothing else planned, church on Sunday morning.

 

That sounds reasonable. I cant wait to see pics of it either!

 

When you`re done all that drop over to my place, there`s a 56 M100 waiting for some of that.
Hope you don`t get mixed up on what`s to be red and what`s to be white, sounds like you`re really motoring....

 

Yeah snow you do motor along fast! Thats awesome!

 

This morning I couldn't help myself, yesterday I bought a set of 3 power fist HVLP spray guns had to try one this morning. So I painted my hood fenders and roof part were running lights are going, it worked pretty dang slick.

This afternoon I was cutting out the cab corners, I got them ready and in place to weld can't wait, then tonight after welding just grind and any filler. Then tommorrow I will be on track to undercoat the whole exterior of the cab white then work on my step plates and inner cab corners.

 

Well one thing that I won't be able to do tommorrow or for awhile is paint or even work on the box, it's outside right now.

 

Thats right on your guns you bought worked well. What kind of paint are you using?

 

That is great your cruising along working on the 49 now the 57 good stuff keep up the good work man

 

Yeah I wouldnt be able to keep up with two projects at once lol.

 

Don't forget my 1968.
I like Shopmaster Gloos sold through Coop the red is kinda a orange but we'll see how it comes out.

 

Thats cool, is that stuff reasonably priced?

 

Yep, I only really use Shop Master or dare I say Tremclad. As the sayin goes, "good enough for the girls I go with."

 

Thats cool. Ive heard if you do the prep work good, a tremclad paintjob looks pretty good, and it is a pretty decent rust type paint.

 

I think I'm still on schedule, driver side cab corner ain't on but by the end of tonight there will be 3 white coats 2 are on it right now.

 

I bet its looking pretty sharp too!
