I winning with the rain. Not so much with my slopped driveway. Im doing a test run right now to see how warm I can get the cruiser metal tonight. Garage door is open, garage to wood stove room is open, heat is pumping in but losing fast. I also put a 1500w heater in there. Maybe I will Jerry rig a dry wall heater to my welder plug barefooted in one of them nice puddles.

Well good thing I took the windows out, I found more rust. A trick to getting the tape to stick, no thanks to you guys is.... Lacquer thinner first, then tape. I tried with paint thinner with no luck.

Are you guys ready for the gender reveal?
 
My pride and ego took over and I painted it myself. The price to pay, a hand full of drips.

Well even though its blue, I think the proper way to identify this truck is.???? Well if I keep whispering into the trucks exhaust pipe that its a unicorn. Im pretty sure by the time its a teenager. It will identify as a tank.
 
In the painting industry its whats called "a twenty footer" Looks good from 20 feet.
 
Perhaps we need to have an Ugly Truck Show?
 
looks decent! those runs will sand out.

what seam sealer did you use?

I had an open tubing of paintable silicon. Not even sure what brand.
 
I will blame those drips on either the fumes, the bong or too many beers.
 
I’d be happy to one day have my paint job look anywhere near that good.

Good Job. It’s a 40 series… it was built as a tractor and was meant to be driven.
