The posts I've been looking over to learn about the budget painting methods are all on car sites. This is the one that started the mother of all budget pain job threads: http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=2338616 It's had I think 3 different continuations(thread closed...

What a fantastic idea! And you already have a/c mounted on the roof. You'll have to insulate like crazy but what rolling home doesn't need it? Good luck on your new venture! I'm excited for you!

I want a clean surface, no more sticker outlines that scream out UHaul especially with the dark color I'll be painting it. The demarcation kit that UHaul installed is peeling away in many places and paint doesn't stick well to the vinyl. I don't want to use a sander if you mean a power sander. I don...

Make sure you clean out the computer, they got your info somehow and it's usually from a compromised website or email.

Did you have to rinse off the spray when you were done? Did any of the chemicals harm the gel coat if you didn't rinse them off soon enough after using? Now that my truck is parked I can't really move it and have no way to wash it. I'll try to get some pics of the hole it's stuffed in right now. I'm...

I'd have loved to see pics of how it's set up inside. I love creative living!

I believe someone is being modest....

That's an awesome honor to a very intelligent individual and smart use of materials. Congrats on being chosen!

I've heard/read from various sources that using the lower end(aka cheap) heat guns takes a loooooong time to heat up the vinyl on these UHauls. I'll be finding out soon enough. Kinda broke so I'll be doing it myself. At least I have about 4 months to git er done so I can paint. However, patching and...

That's pretty cool!

No floor yesterday. I forgot the polyurethane construction adhesive to glue things together so I'll have to pick that up this week among other things previously mentioned. Too bad Harbor Freight doesn't carry it because I spent a little money there yesterday. Among other things I got a small LED fla...

Just got done talking with Mark O. and it reminded me I haven't updated in a bit. Last week I was to have started on the wall to replace the rear door on the box. While I did get some lumber, most of it was wet and the Home Depot guy didn't seem to care much. The treated plywood was so wet that the ...

That was absolutely beautiful. I couldn't watch and keep my eyes dry. Great find Dennis and thank you for sharing.

I'll second that and same back at ya Jerry!

And now some new progress pics... One of the reasons I chose the older UHaul was because of the air ride. This gives me a couple of benefits the first being that the rear rides just a little better with the extra cushion. The 2nd benefit is that I'll be tapping into the air line system somewhere for...

The spray area looked worse than what hit the ground. http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/5424/coolingfail014.jpg After getting it into the shop and letting it run for awhile I found the culprit, this little fitting and overflow hose between the radiator frame mount and upper radiator hose was loose: h...
