1947 Bantam T3-C Trailer Project
chasm:
My original VIN tag was a Maryland MVA replacement tag from 'who knows when!'
I ordered an accurate zinc reproduction from a fellow in the Netherlands. He makes original reproductions of all early Jeep data plates and does a lot of work for the MVPA (military Jeep) crowd. Here is a photo of the Bantam Tag in its' correct original location.
Next step is to have LineX sprayed into the bed, so that nobody has to go through the restoration process again! ;)
I didn't have a chance to take very many photos at the PA Jeeps show, so if you happened to get a decent one of Old Yeller with the Bantam trailer, please feel free to post it here. Thanks! ;D
chasm:
Finished restoring a pair of vintage army reflectors and had Line-X sprayed into the bed yesterday. The plan is for it to last a long time so my son doesn't have to restore it again when he inherits it! ;)
Next, to restore the original wooden side racks!
K Riccardi:
Trailer looks great Mike!
JeepnLawls:
Mike,
You do your own sandblasting? Anybody you recommend in the area for sandblasting and painting/powercoating smaller parts (like your steps)?
TIA
Chip

Thanks Kane!
Chip: I have friends with sand blasting and bead blasting set-ups, so I take stuff to them to get it done. Depending on the parts, I paint some stuff myself. Really big stuff goes to my friend's shop. Powder coating I get done at a shop in Eldersburg. MD named Metal Refinishing Systems, Inc. They do "medium black" all the time for railings and commercial stuff... and that happens to be a nice color for high wear Jeep parts like bumpers, steps, and diff covers!
