Latest Project

This is my mail Jeep, after 45 minutes of sanding, it looked like this this morning:



We didn't have the proper grit sanding pads, so we made do. Time appeared to be running short, so we bailed and went ahead and shot some primer on it. If this weather sticks around like it is, i'll be at it again next weekend, the bulk of the rough sanding over with, but still miles and miles to go. The end result I really want Chrome Yellow, but I'd have to get that paint shipped, so I'll probably do red (using Duplicolor Paint Shop laquer paints, chain auto part stores sell it for $20 quart, primer, color and clear), then, since my airbrushes love me so much, come back with something really nice on top of it, like flames or screaming eagles, or something, or I might get tired of it, and be happy with red, hehe. Here it is this evening, though:

wow thats sweet man keep us posted on how youre doin on it

Nice project you've got going there!

Thats aweome! The most pimped mail truck ever!

The hood, if it happens, will be reserved for flames, thank you The USPS logo is an eagle, I would love to drop a flaming eagle on each door, though

Stop painting mail trucks, mail boxes and boat sand paint some more killer baits, sheeeeesh!

They don't care, as long as the mail gets delivered! The City Carriers all have USPS provided vehicles, uniforms, etc, we're on our own. In the office, some folks drive cars, and sit in the passenger seat, and sling their legs over, some have newer Jeeps, white, silver, red, blue, green, etc, and a few of us have the older Jeeps, I really like the sliding door, way more room inside with the door open, no elbow slapping! I had been driving the Jeep in it's rusty state, hehe, I gotta get the mail delivered

ok, ok, i'll go upstairs now and, well, do something, dunno if it'll be paint!
