Ok
I have been busy. Sandblasting and painting. I will be working on my fenders next. I restored my Delta Winner to working condition. I had 2 parts headlights. Both rusted out in different locations on the inside. I welded the 2 innards together and now it is functional again.
I welded up the slot on the seat frame to represent G519. Until I can find an original. Moved the studs and made recessed locations for the studs. I am ready for upholstery. I am going to try using vinyl first. Vinyl was only $20 per yard. Leather seems like I had to buy a half a cow.
Currently for paint. I am priming with zinc chromate self etching primer. Except in some cases where I need a good fill coat. Then I used rustolium red oxide. Outer coat. I am experimenting with Krylon OD. It is more represents WWII USMC than army. But once I am assembled I am going to break out my spray gun and hose it down with either 33070 or late WWII 319. Thinking 319. But we will see.
This weekend I will be finishing the fenders.
Today NOS rims show up. Then I am on a search for Hubs. Not to concerned about date codes. But I do want to pass a 5’ test. Maybe even a 1’ test. But I do plan on making this so original so that when I do find a WWII frame. My parts can swap over.
I did order the pump mentioned above. I think it looks pretty good. It will look better after a sandblasting and a coat of OD. I also ordered the pump bracket from Bergerworks. That should show up in a week or so. Sadly I don’t think I can make the airshow I was trying to finish this for.
Maybe the next one.
