There is a product called CANVAK that is supposedly just the thing for this. I have not used it but it comes highly recommended. Regards, Charles

There is no ad on CL Boston right now for a guy selling military tires in Lowell. Do you have any information on him? Hopefully he will renew the ad. Thanks.

Bumping this up again.... guys, I need few things for the '57 gasser, plus wheels and tires. Maybe a few of us can make a joint trip somewhere.... this winter so far has been kind to us, at least here in southeastern MA..without snow, and without hornets and foliage, winter parts hunting might...

Thank you very much for the reply.

Hi all, I was at a Collings Foundation event at their main HQ in Stow, MA back in September and there was a beautifully restored M35 gasser in the hangar that had New Hampshire license plates that read "PAWS". I'm not sure if this truck belongs to Collings Foundation or if it is "on loan" or...

$24 sounds OK, I'll take one! Please PM me. Deuceman51: Memphis Equipment has rear plates, at least back in 2009. Regards, Charles Schneider Raynham MA

OD Iron does not show the top plates on their website, only the rear plate. Am I missing something? Memphis Equipment should have the top plates, I got one about 8 months ago from them. They need to be drilled for the data plate rivets. Price was about $25.

Frank, I sent you a PM about the carbs. Thanks, Charles Schneider

Jon, Get rid of that crimped pump and score a used pump or NOS pump. The kits from Then & Now in Weymouth MA work well and are high quality. I rebuilt the original pump on my '57 gasser using this kit and the pump works fine. It was a bit of work to figure out how to rebuild the pump but Then...

I had no trouble registering and insuring my me M35A2 in Massachusetts. Insurance with JC Taylor costs me about $80/year. They do have an age limit which sunk Scooter but he ended up going to Maine to register his and it seems to have worked out well (correct, Scott?). Anyway, the only...

Derek - The mirror brackets on the bottom headlight REO look like the type found on most 5-ton trucks. Not sure why they would be mounted on a deuce unless this truck was regularly carrying or pulling some kind of extra wide load, perhaps. Just my $0.02. Nice trucks, congrats! Charles Schneider

Thanks I appreciate the responses. I'm sure something in my area will turn up soon. ZiggyO has one in NJ that I am considering, but of course it would be better to find something closer to home if possible. Tim - I will PM you about those seats. Charles Schneider

I'm a Ziggy fan too! Got a NOS gasser wiring harness from him recently. A nice guy to deal with and I hope to do business with him again.

I've seen this movie and agree 100%, it is awesome for the B-25 enthusiast, or any aircaft enthusiast for that matter. The original book by Joseph Heller is a ripping good read I might add. It was impossible to capture that book entirely in one film, but they did a pretty good job anyway...

Wow, this got dropped way down on the list very fast. Putting it back up to the top (maybe for 5 minutes!) in hopes a few more folks see it. I'll re-post in the WTB section also.
