I've thought about the cleaning aspect of it, and thought about cutting access holes in the top of the tank, and either welding them back in, or fabricating covers for them. Knattrass, did you use the POR coating, or give up after their cleaning.

12V Conversion

OK here we go I've sorta decided which direction to go with my truck. Its not going to be very original at all. I want it to look cool, but be better suited to life in the civillian world, kinda like a resto-mod. I'm going to use civillian lights, and turn signals (maybe the teenage drivers around h...

Hi all, Thanks for you help, But Iwas hoping this was something I could do myself. Anyone have any experience with such products. BTW I'm in the "protective Coatings" Bussiness, so I may have more confidence to attempt this than most. I just usually work with concrete not steel. Thanks Brett

Direction for new project

Hello, I just bought My first M37. This will be my first MV restoration. Actually, it will be my first vehicle restoration too. I'm looking for input on how to proceed. I found my truck on Craigslist. It was about an hour away in a barn, and had been sitting for 6 years. I had been crawling around i...
