the path less travelled(paint wise)
hi guys,i had finished the cab panel and paint back in feb but had a lot of other jobs to catch up on so haven't posted any thing in a while,
Painted her in olive drab after i changed my mind (something about shiny paint feeling wrong on a "combat" vehicle) so may not be the done thing as i have no idea of any Aust army humbers being refinished in OD as they were being sold off at the time of Australias early involvement with Vietnam which caused operational changes with regard to paint etc.
I have deliberately left interior as original as i like the lived in patina,so would not be hard to repaint the exterior in DBG in the future if so needed.
Front bumper needed straightening out which i have done but not refitted as yet,and only have the NOS hatch latches that i got off Dave Mills,and to aquire some park lights for guards and lh mirror bracket and cab is basically done.
Gumtree in Perth presented me with an opportunity for some good 9.00x20 O.Z. ndcc tyres on some dodge rims for $200 ex USA import vehicle that owner was modifying and consequently did not use.
