Mopar - D Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 It was a good morning for painting. Sprayed the cab white and cleaned off BMF Dodge letters afterwards before the paint was to hard. Also painted the front bumper chrome and the rear mud flap with misc parts red.

Mopar - D Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 Thanks Terry by chance are you going to the Lake Charles model show next Sat.? Dave thanks and yes the white is the stripe I will be ain't got the rest of the cab red. From the pictures of these cabs they either had a white or red roof sections. I'm not sure yet witch way I'm going to go yet. Ok JT a and Chris you convinced me to change out the ladders to match the trailer. Working on them now. I've also noticed that on the trailer that the frame joints have gusset plates on them so Im going add gusset plates on the new joints that I added.

Petetrucker07 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 This looks really good. Cant wait to see it done and loaded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Buckaroo Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 This is a super project to follow. I really like these old Dodge's , I have only seen a few in real life. On cleaning off the BMF after painting , did you just use a Q-tip with a touch of thinner to clean off the paint ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Sean I use a tooth pick soaked in lacquar thinner to remove the paint. A q-tip is to big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olsbooks Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Excellent looking. I had never considered the q tip/lacquer thinner trick. Obviously it works and goes in the bag of tricks. Thanks for sharing. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Was able to get a little time on the bench tonight. Built the ladder on the passenger side and started adding the gussets on the trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
