A little more work between rainy days.
Stripped more flaking paint off and started to wire brush the rust.
The frame is stout and has several extra cross members and braces.
Got some more purchases from ebay, rims, centers, rear receiver, flaps, extended lunette, wire loom, will be assembled after painting.
I removed the fenders to strip and paint RED urban camo Red, White, Grey and black.
I cheated a little and made a magnetic sheet camo stencil.
Hope it looks good after it is finished.

Best part about Monday is seeing what Mark Harley did over the weekend!

I spent more time on the trailer, Sanded and primed the trailer then shot four coats of gloss plack on the frame.
I sanded the fenders and cut a mask out of magnet to paint the camo pattern. I purchased a diamond plate work box that is going to be
a chuck box, A great deal at $75.00 The seller paid $385.00 then sold the truck.
A couple days of drying and I will mount the lights, reflectors, wire, and fab up the chuck wagon.
With two trailers taking my time, My wife's Hunny Do list is getting longer.

I got a few free hours and a cool morning to start the urban camo I had planned on painting.
I sanded the fenders the best I could and primed any bare metal. RED spray bomb ACE Hardware paint four cans worth
then I started to spray on the three camo colors. first White, Then Grey Then black. All Gloss but I wish I would have gone with flat or
semi gloss then cleared everything at one time.
It is satisfactory and I will keep this look for now. I also bent a piece of diamond plate aluminum for a tongue cover.
Turned out well and I will use large pop rivets to hold it down. " I will borrow the pnumatic gun from work to make it go faster"
