I've been off work for a month due to a knee injury and I'm starting to go bonkers! :madsmile: I'm going to take it out for a test spin tomorrow morning. Maybe I'll call a coyote in!

Looks nice. What was your choice of paint?
Gillespie from Rapco in Texas. It is the paint I used when I restored my WWII jeep. 33070 lusterless olive drab (top photo) and beige primer. I jerked weeds from the flower bed (I made points there) and used them for the pattern. I'm happy with how it turned out.
looks great - did you bake it on ?
Very cool, Bill! Just don't do that to you M1 Carbines!!!!
No I didn't bake it on. I thought about it but SWMBO would not take too kindly to the smell of cooked paint throughout the house.Quote:

Nice paint job and hows the knee doing?
Thank on the paint job and thanks for asking about my knee. I go in for surgery on this coming Wednesday. I'm not looking forward to this THIRD time!!!
Great idea and very well made, Bill! I like the look. Good luck for your surgery!:thup:

Bill, you really are good with paint which is very obvious from the pix's you posted so I have a thought...my town house interior could use a new coat of paint. It is in really great condition and seeing as you are bored I would be happy to buy the paint, give you room and board while you were here AND take you to the range a couple of times or more. I wouldl supply all the guns and ammo you would like...How about it??
Sure 303, I'd love to. British Columbia is a place I've always wanted to visit. Hell, I'll be off work for a while with this knee. The only downside is I won't be able to fold myself in half to sit in a plane seat or car so now what? You could buy me a first class seat??? ;)
Bill, good luck. You'll be in my prayers
Not sure I could afford the First Class ticket?
Do hope all goes well and your recovery is quick.
