Paint Your Wagon

Our big wagon was getting pretty rough; rusty, and cracks in the box, so we decided it was a good time to fix it up and paint it.  I wanted to paint it either purple with yellow trim, or baby blue.  Cooler heads have prevailed and we’re going to paint it red with white trim.

Here I am clamping a corner were the box is cracked in preparation for welding it back together:

And here’s Lana wirebrushing away rust, using her pickup as a scaffold:

I’ll post the beautiful end result… as soon as we get it done.

And here it is:

This wasn’t the best picture, but it had Spenser in it so it’s the one I posted.
