Progress at Martys Panel and Paint 1 May 2011

Posted by XenaCommander on April 30, 2011 at 11:48 PM

Its been a couple of weeks now and I haven't had any update pics from Marty so I checked in with him by email to check how the truck rebuild and paint is getting on...   He had been over in the States for a couple of weeks and since back he has been buried. 

But this week he has sent some pics to keep me happy...   and informed..    It is good to see the progress.I have posted some of the pics below to shoe progress made..

Pic of the left rear...   Panels going on..   Tee sitting on plank doing the work...  Rear corner all clean... Looking good.

Front left cleaned up and primed...

Front right..   I see Marty took off the complicated panel behind the door.  There was severe cancer down the guard trim so it was a good idea to expose it..  I am sure he can cut the panels out with the openings for the air filter hatch etc.   Lower panels on rear of that.

Lower panels on to the rear.  I am not sure how they are held in place while the glue dries..  I must ask Marty.  The pink panels are hatches that have been panel beated clean and primed.  The front hatchways will be replaced.

Glue on for another panel..  This one over my round window frame..   Round windows will need to be cut out again..

Left hand side... Panels being prepared towards rear..  Frames clean and prepared.

Another rear shot...  Marty tells me that this coming week he will be painting the roof as it is ready to be done..  The rest of the panels will also go on this week..

So good progress being made..    I do miss working on it and it will be a few weeks yet but it is good that it is being all done by the experts..  Thanks Marty.

More updates will be posted when I get them..

Cheers
