Due to peeling paint on the bib, I pulled it, dissected it, then began removing the old paint and primer. I suspect what ever primer the paint shop used on the bib caused the issue. The apron just had some imperfections so I figured I'll do it over as well.
Got it down to bare metal in some places then started with a new coat of primer. Light to start then a nice med heavy coat to finish.
It's drying right now. Going to hit it with 400 then shoot the color. Should be in color tonight.

Took it on a weekend of trails and camping with other Michigan cruiser friends. I actually didn't drive it much on the trails, @69LC took the wheel most of Saturday because his truck is down. I enjoyed riding shotgun with my 18 year old daughter in her 80. It got a nice workout and a good test of the new roof rack.

Thanks again for asking me to get it dirty for you! I had the stupidest grin on my face for a long time.
Once I get my wife’s 80 back up and proven I’ll get back to my 40.

Agreed. Has simply been a years-long funding & funding priority issue. Appreciate the positive 'pep talk.' No one wants this long-beloved, decades ago obtained, rust-free rig of mine rebuilt & on the road - more than me. Assured to you. Thx. ~m.You know, if you spent as much time under your truck as you did envisioning your future truck, you’d be done already
Get on it!
Honestly just pulling your chain - I bought my rig in 2012 - took me a solid 5 years to start making any real, meaningful progress. I still have a mountain of work to do! If anything I feel your pain.
Ripped the crusty seats out of the 66’ I picked up yesterday. Sending them off to have them done in coral. Leaving the frames alone since they are in darn good shape and it’s not a show truck.

As each of us here know, and some know all too well, in life, cordial 'chain pulling' is often necessary; else wise, we of course become complacent - with conjured excuses to boot.
And as we all know, each one of us are 'pained' by at least something, if not by multiple issues. Reality is, we must plow through this (or should I instead say, apply our front & rear lockers & more effectively trudge our way forward
).Your words of "Get on with it" is not only a kind & helpful (and tactfully blunt) kick in the rear, my rear - your words were well received
, especially that multiple others 'Liked' your tough-love (of kicking me in the ass ).Again, appreciated. ... With no harm/no foul intended by anyone, I vouch (for myself) - to act on your words - as in NOW !! "To get her built & driving." Hence, I've long openly expressed "a will," I'll 'now' openly heed your advice to create "a way." -- Thanks !
Hey man, This is my fourth 40 and I bought it in early '13. Has been sitting in my shop since with just minor work other than the hydro blast and paint. Been working on it 15 minutes at a time due to a lot of responsibilities and work. Just keep working on it at your schedule and funding.

I have been working on mine now for 57 months. There is always something that needs to be done and funding to be found. Just happy to be able to drive my 40 and show it off occasionally. Moral: keep working!
Did you just get the 45 from Los Lunas, NM?

Without doing this, I couldn't have enjoyed a few hundred work related miles in my cruiser last week.
Oh, it's pure gas at 87 octane.

For the fly fishermen on here, went for a ride and found this in a small park along the Boardman river in northern Michigan. For years my wife's family though it was their great grandfather who was a passionate fly fisherman and also named Halladay.
