Canadian M151A2 Restoration

[Scott Bentley]

Update,

Well I haven't had any spare time lately. Work is eating up most of my energy these days, so I haven't been making a whole lot of progress. I did however go crazy so far this weekend.

So, I managed to get the paint to do my Engine Compartment. So here is where i'm cheating when it comes to painting. Rather than painting this entire thing in Semi-Gloss OD, and then top coating it with the Cam Pattern, I took a short cut. I still wanted the Engine Compartment to be in the OD, as almost every CDN 151 I have seen, still had the original paint under the hood. What I did here was set the Hood down on the Tub and traced around the outside, masked, and then hit it in the Semi-Gloss OD. When it goes back in for the final exterior coat of Cam, that should knock down the sharp edges where I masked it:



I did finally get the Main Suspension Assembly dropped off for sandblasting and primer. I hope to have them back this coming week. While they are gone, I went ahead and blasted the Knuckles, Spindles etc:



Just need to get the Brake Backing Plates and a few of the smaller Suspension Parts done over the weekend, and I should be nearly complete removing paint.
