Just keep rubbing it in - you can go off people quite quickly;)

ok john come clean you've been down with your spray gun [8D]

whoever painted the van did a good job for it to last as good as that :p:p

going to be something special if your arm will last out...
 
I'm always getting down with my spray gun:) but if I could get a finish like that I'd be in business;)

I haven't even got onto the body yet and the interior needs lots of work as does everything mechanical! Brakes steering, engine , tank out etc

Pablo, it looks absolutely STUNNING !!

A couple of questions:

Are you removing the tank and cleaning it out, and then refitting it? Or are you getting a new tank from Tim's? If cleaning the old, how do you go about it? I've heard of people fitting them to these portable concrete blenders and just filling the tanks with sand and keep the carousel running for a few days to remove the old inside paint, but I find that a bit weird ..

Also, the brake pipes, do you make these up yourself, of going for a full prefabricated set? (I've seen Automec copper pipe kits for the Commer van on Ebay for about 100 quid)

Haven't decided on tank yet.ive seen a few methods as well will drop and see how bad it is for now

I will make my own brake lines as the fronts will be metric ends for the wheel cylinders on the later dodge brakes.
