I remember binging on your build many years ago and have just been through it again, coming from that part of the world I could really relate. I would love to know how the paint etc held up over the years ? would you still use RB if you were to do it again ?
cheers for the inspiration Dan

Hey, thanks for checking in. The Blue Mule is still a daily driver. The paint has held up better than expected. I attribute some of that to the RB - every part of the Mule that got the RB treatment is still in good, rust-free condition, even the frame. The parts where we couldn't treat the rust on reassembly - mostly the rear sill I couldn't get a replacement for, and a couple other areas we had to patch rather than replace - have since developed rust. The worst area is that rear sill, which we will likely replace when I am moved to tear the tub down enough to get to it
. FWIW, I use RB on all my vehicles if I find a rust spot, even on my little tractor. That stuff is virtually nuke proof.
