This one would be for Polecat but seeing as he is away sunning himself :twisted: :roll: someone else may be able to help. When did the British start to use DPM? .

You coming to me Karoshi?......

Think positive, think about how beautiful that 50.cal is.

Nice one Karoshi! And what are you bringing?

what did you use the brush on, wheels?

I can, but I like to look at trucks whilst I am in bed at night :oops:

Is a wire brush finish i.e. on wheel rims a good enough key to paint?

mate, now that is funny :mrgreen:

Oddball. Have a look at the top of any page and you will see a 'search' button, if you forget where a topic is (like I do :oops: ) just type in the topic you are looking for i.e. 50 cal then it will list all of the topics with 50 cal in :mrgreen:

Ok, so tell the Jeep that Dallas is actually based in Poole. :wink: PS. Girl GIRL!

Girl!

A big welcome David. Really good to have you here and pleased that we have another German MV enthusiast and it would be good to have your input :mrgreen:.............and here is a starter for 10 http://www.hmvf.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=268 :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Best wishes. Jack.

Absolutely Karoshi, the GMC WILL be done by them and we should be settled in to our new home by then so you are more than welcome to bunk down with us and we can convoy off in the morning! What MV will you be bringing?

Hold on a minute, what are you saying here :twisted:

Oddball, come on! Don't you know that I have enough things to think about :shock:

Meet in Albion Close, Parkstone at 0900, leave at 0930 in convoy for Poole Park. The park is shut to the public at this time, so only way in, is in convoy with the right pass. As we arrive we will be placed in our positions by the council organiser. After the service we will convoy onto Poole Quay for the memorial for the Navy on Fishermans dock. Then back to the meeting point at Newtown Business Park. If you need to know anything else then please do let me know!

Any advice on any books that are just pictures of GMC's in 'operational' use? Cheers. Jack.

Welcome aboard G7 and just to add to the confusion, I went to school in Fareham!

Ok, the latest pictures of the 'rub down 2005'. Not a bad job, again, it is about having the right tools for the right job. I wasn't to sure where to start but I thought that working from the front to the back would be a good plan. What tended to happen was that I would move around the GMC and do a bit here and there, this helped to break the boredom 8) The top yellow layer was just awful, as it looks like it was just painted on without keying the coat underneath so I could never feather the edge out as the yellow would blister. Basically I have had to completely remove the yellow coat. I used 60 grit and the flattened it with 240. The problem I now have is that I know where ever blemish is and the seem to be shouting at me everytime I walk by! The next problem is that I will be moving house within the next 14 days, we are moving to a new office at the end of the week and over the weekend and my business partner is due his first born at the end of the month, so what I might have to do is to make sure the truck has at least got its undercoat and then I have to get the pulley problem sorted as it has to come with us when we move................something tells me that Iam going to busy. Here are the pictures and I can't believe that this is my truck :cry: But this is starting to put a smile on my face!

Pulley puller on it's way Red Oxide will be picked up by the good lady today....so I will be applying the under coat tonight .......is there any thing I should know or watch out for when applying this coat?

Good question! I am not blaming you or anything and seeing as you weren't there at the time (think you were sorting out some bridging equipment) but when the 'heroes' stumbled into the minefield, why didn't those to guys with the BAR who stayed in the field just make a run for it like everyone else? I think that it showed poor leadership, would you of let that happen?

Hi Daren. Good to have you here and welcome aboard. You are more than welcome to join us at anytime over here in Dorset. I think next year Dorset residence will be seeing a lot more MV's on road runs. ..............if it is just me on my own, would it still be classsed as a road run?

Cheers Kewelde. It has a base coat red oxide and on others parts there is grey undercoat. I have seen red oxide on most farm machinery so why do we use red oxide as a base coat? Also, is a wire brush finish good enough to paint i.e. the wheels?

Not sure, I will ask my Dr................ :shock:

yeah, the problem is that is has loads of different coloured GMC's in it :? :cry:
