A little more work between rainy days.
Stripped more flaking paint off and started to wire brush the rust.
The frame is stout and has several extra cross members and braces.
Got some more purchases from ebay, rims, centers, rear receiver, flaps, extended lunette, wire loom, will be assembled after painting.
I removed the fenders to strip and paint RED urban camo Red, White, Grey and black.
I cheated a little and made a magnetic sheet camo stencil.
Hope it looks good after it is finished.

I spent more time on the trailer, Sanded and primed the trailer then shot four coats of gloss plack on the frame.
I sanded the fenders and cut a mask out of magnet to paint the camo pattern. I purchased a diamond plate work box that is going to be
a chuck box, A great deal at $75.00 The seller paid $385.00 then sold the truck.
A couple days of drying and I will mount the lights, reflectors, wire, and fab up the chuck wagon.
With two trailers taking my time, My wife's Hunny Do list is getting longer.

I got a few free hours and a cool morning to start the urban camo I had planned on painting.
I sanded the fenders the best I could and primed any bare metal. RED spray bomb ACE Hardware paint four cans worth
then I started to spray on the three camo colors. first White, Then Grey Then black. All Gloss but I wish I would have gone with flat or
semi gloss then cleared everything at one time.
It is satisfactory and I will keep this look for now. I also bent a piece of diamond plate aluminum for a tongue cover.
Turned out well and I will use large pop rivets to hold it down. " I will borrow the pnumatic gun from work to make it go faster"

Got some more work done on the frame, hung the fenders to see how they look, mounted the safety cables,
tail light brackets, deck plate on the tongue, painted the new reflector housings and mounted them, ran the pigtail back for the
trailer plug and bought some wire to finish the lights. Looking at designing a tear drop to fit on the frame.

Bought a Jerry can off ebay, It is a BLITZ steel and it is a 2 1/2 Gallon size.
I kept one of the original Jerry can holders from the military and took them both to work this week
I massaged the dents and had them primed and readied for top coat.
The frame will be gloss black and the can will be ACE cherry red.
I cut a new rubber gasket on the laser and it will seal great.
It will be mounted on the frame of the trailer in front of the fender where it stops short of the front.
