Troopy

[arnott1t]

I had a wheeling party tonight. It was of the wire variety. All the silicone is cleaner from these parts now. God forsaken stuff that silicone is!

Back to blaster tomorrow I hope

Also had a few deliveries. Many parts have arrived

 

[meridian]

holy lugs on those coopers

 

[cruisernerd]

Troops is my favorite vehicle of all time. I should build my bj42 into one.

 

[arnott1t]

Blurry progress.

Fenders are skinned and ready for filler. Tub is mostly
Ready for filler.

 

[phoenix60]

progress looks good.

 

[arnott1t]

The new boots fill out the enlarged wheel wells nicely

 

[meridian]

man those are MEATY and look awesome

 

[phoenix60]

I second that, looks great.

 

[KingSpence]

You'll be happy with those STT's, I had them on my old BJ60.

 

[arnott1t]

Well gobs of progress again all due to mr solash. Tube and front fenders are primed. Paint is bought.

Still no word from the blaster on the other parts but hoping soon.

I started some rear tube flares and a rear bumper. The shop gave me the wrong size material to finish my flares. Have to wait to monday now... Bummer

 

[KingSpence]

You're neighbors with potlatch, or is he just parked there? If so that'd be pretty cool, small world.

 

[arnott1t]

Nah it's at his house.

 

[potlatch4805]

I parked my lump at my neighbors.

 

[arnott1t]

Flares are done

A test fit on lady O.

Wheel opening comparison

A little filler and they should be all set.

The real question is body color or black?

Also picked up Eric's hood and stripped it

Sprayable paint stripper is straight up nasty

Clean as a whistle

These sections need some paulove

Spoke to the blaster and parts should be clean Wednesday!

Big push for the windshield frame to get this thing on the road again.

 

[arnott1t]

Given er

A rough windshield frame.

Welding up umpteen holes in the door

"Steve" does a body good

Patch in place... Well the first of many!

 

[arnott1t]

Frame mostly patched

Hoping one more night and I'll have 2 doors and the windshield ready for primer!

hold the phone, who's got a red and white '55 in the drive?

Oh, you know... probably just some chick who "sleeps with all the married men".

 

[Awl_TEQ]

Charla, you have to tell me what that meant sometime!!

 

[meridian]

Oh, you know... probably just some chick who "sleeps with all the married men".
