Looks great! early (71-72) Ford A2, from the looks of it. Floor drains, 1 piece pressed wells for the turn signals. Looks like a NOS body....

I wish I had gone with desert tan.

Nice looking tub there Jim. When your done and others see your paint scheme, I suspect a rush on tan paint sales at Rapco. No tan for me, but Raymond sounds like he's ready to order his 2 gallons!

If I repainted my M151 again, I would have to find our long missing Arkansas redneck whiskey swilling lawyer friend, sidvicious, to handle the divorce proceedings
BTW, sidvicious, where are you

What are you going to do about the seat canvas and the side curtains and top?
The tan stuff is a little harder to find isn't it?

Re: PART 3 NEW TAN PAINT ON MY SODA BLASTED A2 BODY
Personally, I think O.D. seats, top, etc look good with a desert tan M151. Oh well, maybe my next one will be tan, or more likely, if I ever get a M37, it will be tan.

Stop all of this blasting. If my wife ever sees the pictures, she'll have second thoughts about my M151.
The power blasted body and parts look great.
