84 Humvee Resurrection Project

Post by Roy »

The start of the project.
 
 
I am planning on at about a year to finish this gem.
 
After looking closely at the frame and suspension, I decided to use the frame of a 96 Texas parts truck and build up.
 
Frame striped of brackets and non needed hardware, Wire brushing rust off frame prior to painting with either a good frame paint or POR15.
This truck will be nice but not a restore or show piece.

I'm not familiar with paints, but I THOUGHT I read that POR was super great stuff for future rust ?

POR 15 is great stuff just expensive. I have never coughed up the money for it as i don't keep things long enought to justify it. Lol


The hummer might get it though if I see rust start!

My impact gun did not want to stop today. I guess it is better to do it complete...

Now to wire brush, blast as needed and paint. I kept the front sub frame in to keep frame aligned the best I can
