'41 P/U project
I've been working on this the last few months. I painted it in the garage/driveway. I have some things to finish up. New glass is ordered.
Running a stock '50 Merc V8, with trk 4 spd.

Re: '41 P/U project
I worked with my painter on the color sanding and he did the buffing out. His paint work was very good with only a little orange peel but, I decided to finish it out. As it turned out it took four hours of sanding and buffing for each fender, hood and doors. Lots of work but that is why a good paint job costs so much.

Re: '41 P/U project
I took the three speed transmission out of my 1946 pick up and installed the non syncro four speed. I have never regreted it. I use the pick up almost everyday and the granny gear is really handy for crawling along on rough ground. Double clutching makes it as smooth as a full syncro transmission. 1940 and 1941 are my favorite pick ups. It is great to see the nice work being done here to preserve them.

Re: '41 P/U project
Thanks guys, actually the '40 color is a generic green I bought from TCP Global (it was too John Deerish for my taste) so I added some white, and some black until I came up with that color.
The '41, again was just a generic color, I addded white to it to come up with what I liked.
