I didn't notice the price (of the paint of course) either.

Sounds like it should be easy to find
I'll have to check them out.
Thought i'd post up some pics and give an update of where i'm at now.
Basically, Mikes MUTT will be donating its complete Power Pack, ROPS and a bunch of other essentials to the Red Deer Tub Donor Jeep. I've left it completely intact for now and gave it a some fresh Spark Plugs and Wires, a complete Carb Re-Re, Fuel System Cleaning, Valve Adjustment and run the Engine daily for at least 15 minutes to keep everything lubed and the charging system topped up. My hopes are that if something is going to spring a leak, better to happen now than after I transfer it over to the Red Deer MUTT. One the Tub is all fixed up, i'll "Pull the Pack" and get it all cleaned up and ready for the transfer.
I started pulling the Red Deer Tub Donor MUTT apart scouring it for Data, Serial Numbers and anything else I could find on it. I'm still impressed with the lack of a rust problem except for a portion above the Pintle Hook and predictably the Battery Box Floor. Otherwise everything else is completely solid. My original plan was to install an AM General Underbody Corrosion Repair Kit, but it turns out that it would be un-neccessary.
Biggest problem with it was the "Booty-Fab" manner that it was Re-Militarized and the abuse it took while in service. Although it doesn't have any serious body damage, there isn't a panel on it that doesn't have some kind of a dent. Lots of panel beating with Wood Blocks and a Dolly. The Re-Weld job will have to be completely removed and Re-re-welded with some proper fishplating materials and techniques. I've ordered a new Battery Box Floor, Passenger Seat Bulkhead and Tunnel Cover rather than mess around.
Pics to follow....
