Yo, Squatch!
What day are you going down to General Jeff's? I am thinking about trying to stop in for a bit. Good excuse to catch up. Do you know if Google will be in attendance? I wuz hoping to have a set of m-1009 axles to deliver, but I can't seem to get the **** things out in a timely...
Great job with the progress. I especially like the Canadian hard top. Very informative write up as well. I was able to visualize everything that you described...
I just got hung up on the "big pair of orange titties hanging off the roof of the truck". What is the problem, is it that they are...
Great job, I too shall utilize the term "MV Art". I also admire the compliments from some of the 'purists' who do not generally approve of such efforts. Your labor has been fruitful, you had better get to the patent office. I think I hear the sound of infringement among the ranks!
Howdy camp9, I could offer a part way drop point in Battle Creek just off I-94. I have loading capabilities and such. My daughter lives in Boyne City / Petoskey area so I could get them either as far as Mathew H's place or thereabouts sometime this winter. Or hold them in a safe locale until you...
Hope you don't mind if I chime in... I have put a lot of miles on a m1008 since the first time diesel knocked on the 5$/gallon mark. Very successfully I might add. I started out at 75% for a time simply driven by a lack of funds to thin it further. After about 15k I installed a turbo from a 6.5...
Congrats on a project not only being done well, but well on it's way. I found this post just tonight and have read start to finish in one setting... Not even certain if I have blinked come to think of it.
I have done countlless re-powers and have seen every level of talent out there, and boy...
Thanks for the link. I am addicted to projects as well, probably would'nt make much sense having an interest in MV's if I were'nt.
It looks as though you found a good base to start from. I have a m-1009 carcass coming from the great northwest, the northwestern portion of lower Michigan that is...
I will try to stay focused. I look forward to seeing pics of your progress (hint, hint).I seldom take 'in progress' photos, something that I intend to do better at with my next venture. I certainly appreciate it when others post pics, kind of cool to see other people's imaginations and handy-work.
Just wanted to throw my two cents in, thanks to everyone who showed up.
I had a great time, wish I could have made it a little earlier in the week .
It is always a good time when you get all of those yahoos together.
Google gets the most thanks from my camp, bailing me out on Dave's alternator...
