HMMWV M1165A1 Project: Part 3 - Paint Complete! (mostly)

Paint is finally done for the majority minus touch up work. The plan is on two weeks to get the turret! Interior is next and ohhwee that’ll be a fun one. What crazy flavor of crayons will we find under the insulation mats? Stay tuned to find out!

Looks great. That’s a lot of good work. You can actually soak those tailgate chains in rust remover and paint them. Then use a bike inner tube cut to length for chain covers. A lot of work so you may be right with just replacing them for $37.

Q- where did you get the doors?

[@albono780]

She’s looking grate . Have you taken it on the high way yet ? I’v been getting a hop on mine that I can’t get rid off . Have you experienced anything like that ?

[@ThatHummerKid]

Yes 75+ no problem very smooth. Do you have a REV or ECV truck? I’d check wheels, tires, ball joints, alignment, and the camber on the tires.

[@albono780]

@@ThatHummerKid I have replaced just about every on the suspension. I have a 95 with the 6.5l that had the 3 speed I upgraded to the 4l80e with a stand alone TCM . I also upgraded to the 24 bolt beed lock with the goodyear wrangler tires . What tires are you running ?

[@johnmorris5026]

If you ever consider selling it I’d be interested.

[@ThatHummerKid]

This sold in early 2022 for $78,000

[@goiasautorepair536]

Where did you get the paint? and how much paint you used it ?

[@Jus10-born2Run]

Looks like Gillespie Coatings, Inc in Longview Tx. I looked up their color charts. 686 Tan isn’t on their main charts but I plan on calling them and having them mix to that color code and send to me.

[@johnmorris5026]

Can you tell me if you don’t mind how much you spent from start to finish?

[@ThatHummerKid]

My cost on this project IIRC was around $44,000

[@daveanderson2316]

That's not a Hummer kid.
