I thank you.

Beautiful. For the B-pillar drain, what's the best way to deal with that so paint turns out right and the drain is still functional?

im gonna ask my painter. where is this drain?

68Timber · 06-06-2018, 02:07 PM

Terrible light but you get the idea

68Timber · 06-06-2018, 02:10 PM

I had to post those from my phone, sorry about them being sideways. The drain is on the lower edge of the half-cab where it meets the bed rail. Water gets in there around the top seal and it drains there on each side. I read an interesting thread here once about it, I'll see if I can find it. My truck was repainted a long time ago. I don't know if this rust is from the drain being painted shut or not. But you'll see a lot of K5's rust in this area.

For the record, if it's a garage-kept toy driven only when it's nice out, it'll probably never matter. I'm just curious about what painters do there or if many are even aware it's there.

BTW, I love seeing that you painted the entire tub. Can't wait to see the rest.

oh, I see, well I have owned 4 mid 80's blazers and have never seen that problem. But than again 55 years in hot sunny Arizona might be why. I think it's rained here 3 or 4 times in the last 55 years. LOL.

it's factory code 21 light met. blue 85,86,87 color.

The UH1-C . Static Display I had purchased it around 2007 because my Uncle of 30 years in the U.S.M.C. served as a aircraft mech in Vietnam.(3) - tours 1965 to 1973. He was Stationed at Chu Lai, Da Nang, Marble mtn. Vietnam.
I have it on display here in Apache Junction Az for all Veterans to see. We sponsor some reunions here for the actual units that Served / flew it.
a few are listed.
" The Razor backs."120th AHC / "The Black cats,"282nd AHC and " The Devils." 134th AHC, Kind of a healing process for all. It Helped my Uncle with his P.T.S.D. until his passing 2013 . It's kind of a Land mark in this area. Thx for asking.

I met with one of the actual pilots that flew this chopper in Vietnam and he restores the UH1 helicopters for a living. semi retired. he wants to trade an H-Model for my Gun ship and restore it to Flying condition.! so that's the plan.
thx,dave
