New To Me M-416

[wengejor]

Hey All,

Meet the latest addition to the collection. . Built in 1965...need to clean off the plate to see the other details.

 

[wengejor]

Here are some more pics. Needs to be blasted and painted but pretty solid all around.

took it to the car wash today and blasted the flaking paint off of it. Got the tub off to see how the frame is looking. So far I"m pretty stoked.









Happy Mom's day.

love how the trailer gets more attention than the more valuable canoe.

congrats on both. looking forward to the trailer build writeup.

got a quote for sand blasting...260. Does that seem like a reasonable number? I'm going to shop around some more.

I got mine blasted and primed for $300.

I got a very good price on sandblasting - $100. Kid does it on the side with his dad's gear. As soon as it stops raining, I get to go pick it up. But I also asked that it just be cleaned up for painting, not taking everything to bare metal. I would've considered it a good price at twice the cost, so planning to include a tip if it looks good.

The canoe got lots of attention last summer and hopefully more this year. Will be racing it in a few weeks...that's why it's not stored away right now.

some pics of it here:

Updates coming soon. It's off getting stripped and ready for paint. Got some rust bullet for the base coats.

 

[wengejor]

so I've been working on the trailer...broke one of the shackles. Getting some new ones on JCWhitney.

Looks like I broke the left hand thread one...haha.

paint

Well, finally got around to painting it. No crazy buildup for this one (at least not yet), but wanted to clean it up and get some paint on it. Using rust bullet with a brush..goes on kinda sloppy but it will be good. Didn't get it blasted but had a local guy on C-list strip it.

Not sure what colors I will go with for the final coat.

Looking good!

Great progress!!

Nothing better than a nice clean slate.

Good luck with it!!

thank you sirs! I did some touch up last night and put a second coat on the body....I think I have everything covered pretty well.

I have been looking around at pics of different color schemes and I kinda like the all silver look. Here's a 101cdn that is all silver:

I do have some rattle cans of camo flat green and some flat black, but I might just leave it silver and paint the rims black.

New tires and hardware on the way. Got some napa shocks for replacement.

More info

COuld you post more info on the lid?

 

[wengejor]

^^that's not my trailer...was just saying that this is an example of a silver trailer.

 

[wengejor]

I got some work done on the trailer this weekend. have a ittle bit of touch-up to do with the paint and then some wiring for the new LED lights. So far all is going smoothly.
