Over the last month i have done lot of little things that involved sanding and painting.First i took everything off that could be removed like battery mounts,horns,brackets, mounts aircleaner,rad and rad supports,valve cover and undercarrage shields.Because this wasn't a frame off this gave me access to the front 1/3 of frame to sand and paint.

Working on the frame and undercarrage now. Removed all shields and vac cannister and water separator etc to wire wheel frame and crossmembers. I sprayed a Valspar anti rust paint on frame and on any new metal that was welded to tub got paint and undercoat.
Question- what does that vac cannister on frame beside water separator do,i know it works cuz when i disconnected hoses i got a hissing sound(see silver tank in pic)

There might be some truth to that. :lol:
 
Seeing how this is might be Cam's future rig i have to up the ante now. I finished up the rear of the frame,had to remove the exhaust to get right inside and wire wheel and brush. I did the rear axle and springs as well. This had to be the dirtiest job i have done so far,all you could see were the whites of my eyes.I installed a set of almost new shocks i took off the 40 when i put on the lift springs and then installed the running boards.

Lets talk about beer

All this dusty work makes one a bit thirsty. Isn't it amazing how good that first beer goes down after a hard day of sucking up rust dust and paint fumes. Speaking of beer i had one at 11.58am the other day and i was thinking that if i couldn't wait 2 minutes till noon does this mean i am an alcoholic? Now that Toshi is off the island i wouldn't have anyone to go to the AA meetings with. Maybe that clock was out and it really was noon.
