My jeep will be American,  in honor of the 82nd 508pir who were based around 8 miles from me at woolaton Hall,  regards the headlights was US not the done thing?

Inching closer and closer,  pioneer tools fitted,  not happy with internal paint so will do that again,  guys i want to use a off white with the stencils any recommendations 

Nice father's day pressie 

Cheers bud, must have taken a while   ill give it go.

Did you dilute 4 to 1 Steve 

Firwood.

Overnight? To be fair the unopened paint has stood for a while of course i stirred it but probably not enough. 

Quick one guys, had Quick test with spray gun very dark olive drab and dried somewhat shiny is it a case of not being stirred enough prior to mixing. It is a matt paint 

Thanks bud wasn't sure if the claw should hook on more.

Guys trying the screen down to hood fit, do these look right thought they would hook on better 

Looking forward to it, finally getting mine painted this week,  pams dad passed away so we've had loads to do, had a couple of issues with with it not wanting to turn over after a run, ok at moment fingers crossed. 

Hi Jerry hope you are well,  chart holder is still there,  I'll leave the grease gun fittings just thought they may interfere with the stencils,  great to see you back on forum 

Bit of a  milestone to be reached on Saturday,  the MB is going for final paint,  father in law passed away a few months ago and is unit is now clear,  so I'm taking her down there for me to paint her, it was him that advised me to pick it and it will be ironic for it to be the last vehicle to be painted there. 

May as well put a base coat on too

Guess it didn't go to badly for my welding skills,  now on the flank of the hood are 4 i believe decontamination screws,  any one have these and do they affect stencil fitting,  tried the hood blocks which had been previously welding up.

Starting the hinge repair today hopefully the last bit of welding to be done,  a came across the original F mark which i understand all late MBs had.

Cheers bud i believe it would have been blue,  however like most i do prefer the white finish,  I've see some done in blue then white over the top, doesn't look great tbh  any idea of the star.

Hi guys, anyone know which star a April 45 jeep had, plain, broken or complete ring, also looking for 2" font although unsure which was used at the time,  Steve 

One big last push now,  what a bugger getting footman loops off for axe and shovel all original didn't want to move. 

Still all good brief drive today all good   noticed all many nuts and bolts have become loose or missing all tightened and replaced   got to fit suppression box only cosmetically though and noticed a nut missing on my starter  could this have been my problem 

Looks great bud do you go to woodhall spa 1940s weekend 

After tightening everything up it's started first time for the last 3 days, now i need to drive it  this is when the problem occurs 

Hi Steve it has been re built not to sure if this is the problem it fires straight away if there is power to it, the intermittent loss of power almost like a low battery and nothing 

Yes that's correct checked everything to the starter switch all looks good and tight,  I've got to get a good look behind the ignition switch itself pretty compact under there  only a couple of connectors were hand tight   being main lead onto the alternator the other on the coil,  both now nipped up and tight. 

I'll try that next time it happens bud.
