good evening all I finally got my new hitech paint booth set up and painting :lol:

got the m5 taken down as far as I want to go for now, going to roll it back for steam cleaning and then roll it back, pull the wheels, sand and scuff it up for paint and then start putting her all back together.

As you're in Canada, I doubt you have to worry much about OSHA. However, if memory serves, the laws in Canada (according to [color=red:18c4e51498][b:18c4e51498]Red[/b:18c4e51498][/color:18c4e51498] [color=green:18c4e51498][b:18c4e51498]Green[/b:18c4e51498][/color:18c4e51498]) specifically state that you MUST have a handsome amount of duct tape included with ANY use of cardboard.

as red green taught me kcm I will be using the handy mans secret weapon to install the extractor fan on top of my new paint booth (a push lawn mower with the blades bent sideways) and a few roll of duct tape to hold it all in place :lol:

the same province as you bob, carvel alberta, about 12 miles due west of stony plain, or 25 miles west of Edmonton. I am 3 miles south of the highway 43 and highway 16 junction on range road 22. I had to look on the google map to see where you lived! I worked around the dawson creek, pouce coupe area back in the late 60's. I was born and raised in the Yukon and drove truck from dawson city in the Yukon to Tayler flats, hauling fuel for Klondike transport. it was a 7 day round trip bob back in those days on the Alaska highway. my partner and I used to end up in the mile zero hotel bar on occasion :lol: woke up one sunday morning on the river bank where the pouce coupe camp ground was! (had NO idea where I was) :lol: when I go back home I go through Rycroft spirit river to dawson creek circle, how far from the bay tree store do you live?

Frank(Mi.) · Apr 6, 2018

Wow Carvel! You got the same model paint booth as I did!

gab · Apr 6, 2018

Fancy.

SVcummins · Apr 6, 2018

Its held up pretty well it sometimes gets washed once a year and I've polished it once since I painted it
in 2003

carvel minne farmer · Apr 6, 2018

now you just got the 3020 to do sv. another in the long list of projects :lol:

SVcummins · Apr 6, 2018

I?m just going to try giving the 3020 a polish and
see what happens . It has pretty decent original
paint and it?s all one color and all the tin is there and
matches

RandyB(MI) · Apr 6, 2018

I am a JD 2cyl guy but the 4020 will go down in history as the '57 Chevy did. It changed farming and it changed the farmer. I have a '50 "B" I restored and I would love about a '68-'70 4020 to show right along side it.

finally got my new paint booth set up.
