My -79 Transit recovery truck

[fredrik]

Nice to see a recovery being built,keep up the work.
What couour willl cab be painted?

I've been thinking all along to keep the yellow paint as it had from the beginning but now I'm getting a bit unsure. I have 10 liters of a nice red colour to.

The work has proceeded as planned today and I've welded som more rust.
Unfortunantely I fergot the camera, new pictures will be taken tomorrow.

Love yellow,my old '89 spec was sprayed Daytona yellow.Old 1970's Ford colour...

OK, it seems as the colour to be is yellow. Today I've been welding some more and my suntan from the MIG-welder is improving for each day..

Some new pictures today:



The fender is now painted with 2 component primer.





I removed an old, bad, weld job under the upper fastener for the front shock on the left side





A few hours later: Welded and primed





The inside



The floor is also welded and almost ready

Gotta Love the Yellow.


Be careful. That can cause Skin cancer. If your neck is open to the light then you can also get throat cancer.

silly question, but would sunblock help with this? Or does it only look like sunburn?

[baby stepside]

Do what i do cover up and sweat like a pig
you know it makes sense
remember the tan is actually your skin being cooked ,,definately not healthy

I don't know. I know its the UV radiation given off by the light of the welding. It is powerful as well. After all, its brighter than the sun because you're so close to it. You cannot weld in sunglasses can you.
If you were to rely on sunblock then it would need to be a big factor at a guess. Easier to cover up. Anyway, there is the risk of splatter if you don't cover up. Burnt skin really does smell like cooking pork.

EEEEEEW! If the welding produces UV light maybe sun block might help.

[jace]

gotta be worth try u can get some pretty high factor sun tan btw suntan aint flamable is it?

[fredrik]

OK, I promise to use a welding helmet and clothes that covers all skin

This weekend it hasn't been much work done on the recovery truck, I've been to Norway on GATEBIL, it's a weekend of racing on the track and a lot of nice cars (and babes)to look at.
I think some of you might have heard of it, it was a lot of English cars there.
