Tractor Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Between catching various colds, work, and family stuff I finally finished painting my M105a2 trailer this weekend. Started with a lot of rust and even had to cut out some of the side panels and weld in new ones. I still have the pintle and front landing gear to paint, but the primary concern was restoring the bed. I also installed a Hi-Lift Jack mount on the passenger side fender. http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f185/EWhytsell/M35A2/2012-11-25155904.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Looking good. I remember your restoration thread from 6 weeks ago. Do you have any "before" pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much, but I did find a couple close ups of the original military lettering that give an idea of what I was working with. http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f185/EWhytsell/M35A2/IMG_06341.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f185/EWhytsell/M35A2/IMG_06321.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I picked up 3 jerry cans from a guy on craigslist a couple weeks ago for a great price. There a little rusty, but I'll have them restored soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lag wagon Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Good work! Is the bed matte or bed-liner? Can't tell from here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 The bed is still a few layers of primer. I'm thinking of getting durabaks milspec bed liner. Just waiting for better weather to apply it or something similar. Good work! Is the bed matte or bed-liner? Can't tell from here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
