A Really Drab Day . . . .

Well, I can't say much other than it was a really drab day, today in Memphis . . . . an Olive Drab day, that is. Finally took the jump & painted the jeep today. Can't say I'll be quitting my day job to pursue a career in auto painting, but at least it's painted, and the right color at that.

Progress Continues

Progress continues! I've finished sanding the interior of the tub, with only the dash & steering column left to sand & prime. I've finally gotten all the guages out of the dash plate, so I can get it cleaned up & primed. I began to make some headway on the floor panels, which is going to take some additional time due to the angles & shape . . . there's only so much I can reach with the wire wheel brush on my bench grinder, & will have to sand some of it. I get a little more excited each day as I pass it by in the garage, feeling like I'm finally getting somewhere. I hope to paint it in mid-May . . . looking forward to finally seeing this thing in olive drab again.
