And Now For Something Different
Not that it would have happened with this particular vehicle, but here it is under new management:

Excellent work Rob. Terrific to see that you guys at the barn managed to get two CMP's registered and back on the road over the past few weeks!
 Well done Hammond crew! Have you decided on markings yet? Alex

Incredibly Good Lookin Hulk
Saturday morning's weather was perfect to shoot some green paint. After setting up the truck, paint supplies and equipment, Bob and Grant joined me in putting my Metal Mistress in a new dress of green.
After a brief lesson on paint gun control, Bob tended to the mixing of the paint with Grant providing a hand. It sure made things go fast when you have someone reloading for you. My thanks to the boys for taking the time to help out with this task. While the first coat went on well, there were some areas that will need a second coat at a later date. Overall, I was happy with the result, and now the HUP looks like a "real" CMP! Photos: 1 - The paint support crew hard at it 2 - Looking good 3 - Shady side 4 - Sunny side 5 - Bringing up the rear

Heavy Metal Mistress
Quote:
The Heavy Metal Mistress is looking good. Great looking paint job. The tolerance for WWII painting seems better than the Cold War painting specification, which seems to call for overspray on the tires, steel rims, lights and all the rubber gaskets on the windshield. So it looks like Bob and Rob will be on the road in Merrickville for Canada Day 2017. Lots of pressure for the other Ottawa Rotters (and our good friends in Montreal/Kingston) to get their rides finished, plated and on the road for the 150th anniversary of the Canadian Beaver Colony..... Cheers! Stuart

With regards to markings for this series of HUP, if memory serves correctly, the only thing that ever got applied to them by Chevrolet was the Bridging ID on the front and the round 'Canada' decal centred on each front door, just below the window sill. Not sure what size that decal was but would guess it was in the 5 inch diameter range.
Not a very fancy frock, but the party was pretty much over by the time these lovely girls stepped outside. David
