Re: Grand Willys Project
Seeing this is formply on steel, nothing might be needed? It didn't squeak before but don't want to wear the paint over time in case there is some movement?

Re: Grand Willys Project
Fresh off the gun without any cutting or polishing. Photos show it more green than it is to the eye and is the original choice of Harley Davidson Olive Green Pearl.
Painter is happy with the De Beers paint and said will get even better off the gun now he has a good handle on how it flows out.
Truer to the natural colour. Louvers look great considering I cut them with a wood chisel and formed them by hand with a piece of redgum into a steel form I made!
Even the bits you wont see behind the bed wall look great!
The cab will be left to harden for a few weeks and then cut and polished. Doors and front clip will be next and have already been blocked ready for final primer.

Re: Grand Willys Project
Looks like you have a top gun on the job 
If it has tits or wheels, you can expect trouble.

Re: Grand Willys Project
That's impressive.
It will give you something to do over winter.
I guess it will be another 6 weeks before it's all painted, hardened then cut and buffed, so you won't overheat whilst assembling it.

Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Re: Grand Willys Project
The colour really suits it Marcus, I feel your excitement.
All your amazing metalwork has definitely paid off, an amazing finish was never in drought.

Re: Grand Willys Project
Thank you so much for sharing in my excitement.
Cab will come home first once it has been cut and polished and the doors also hung and in the same state. Be the best way of getting them home without damage hopefully!
Will start bringing bed panels up as I take things home has always been the plan.

How good does that colour look?! Really nice choice, and looks like they're doing a good job of it.

Re: Grand Willys Project
Least it makes the wait worth while. Be nothing worse than the horror stories I have heard where they take years and the result is still crap!

Re: Grand Willys Project
I'll probably just get it back together and winter hits!

Re: Grand Willys Project
Link to a video that the spray painters took after shooting the Harley Davidson Olive Green Pearl.

Can see how much life it has without having too much flip to it. Goes to a bronze/gold from the olive.

You gotta be happy with how it turned out.
