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....

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! :D

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?

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.
