Wow!! that looks so good. What did they use to strip the body? I was assuming they would soda blast but there looked to be a grey haze on some areas.

Mr. Jask, I hand stripped the body, the alum body panels are not that thick and have had issues even with soda media blasting, the body is quite straight and to keep it that way, yes, i know, it is more work that way and well worth it.

thank you

mr jask ( john )

drum roll please, yup have been stripping a very long, no one comes to the show any more, who whats to see an old stripper?

i use aircraft paint remover, sorry, learned a very long time ago two things, one, i do not want to know how many hours i spent on it and how much money i spent

and thank you, these projects are great enjoyment and meet some great people along the way, like the guy with the orange twin turbo burban, a good guy and knows a ton of stuff

why, yes i have,i do have some canadian family and spent a bunch of time in your beautiful part of the world, looking/searching for a 1917 White model TEB, touring bus with back of the body removed, would still like to find it, all i know,is a old tractor collector has it. see, i spend far too much time on these projects.

thanks again and truly looking to meeting up with you at jamboree!

1917 ! that would be a great find- did it see service as a park bus?
I worked as a stripper years ago...... my work outfit was tyvek coveralls and an industrial respirator.... but, I will save that story for Timberline.
Looking forward to meeting everyone, although it looks like the machine might be staying at home as the family think Southerly travel at that time of year may continue to points beyond.. :(

P.S. Jinn I have been a fan of old Whites for years- we used to have a 78 White Western star in the family.

yes, the 1917 white was a yellowstone transportation company rig, still on the hunt for it, as for your travels south, happy to store your rig while you continue your travels.

Thanks for the option Jinn... it is looking like it might be too big for carry on :) we are 4 + hours North of Seattle so driving time vs flying is still up in the air.

I'm inspired and awed by your beautiful work. Some day I hope my wife appreciates me being out in the garage working with my hands and mind to accomplish my goals. I have the snow cat bug bad and can't wait to get my snow trac.
