Inveremere is up here in Canada. If he posts up a pic of what he needs maybe i can find something at one of the hydraulics houses for him..maybe even in shhtainlessh...

I spoke to my buddy Roy and he says he will be up for this. He is just finnishing building a garage at his new place so in a month or 2 he should be good to go.

No rush, PM me and let me know what the Fedex bill is and i'll arrange to cover it. I really appreciate it. Hopefully we can get together in the spring when things slow down a bit and the weather is a little better.

No Worries Sir! Life is busy, especially around Festivus. I go back to jail (work) starting Saturday the 7th for real. I've just been coasting doing my 40h/week but we will have 4 vessels dry continuously on a rotating schedule till the end of march. I have to take Feb 5th off for my dad's 80th...

Sure, sounds good. If lpcoating has access to a 3d scanner and conversion to .dwg or .dfx that would put it way ahead. Roy can definately give us an estimate based on that. For my program i will need the transmission jack shaft we used to keep the environmental hazzard in Rusty's trans for the...

Happy holidays folks. And well.. If someone has a cone in good condition or can send me detailed drawings of what you need in a replacement cone..I have a very good friend with a cnc workstation who does custom one offs for my projects. Aluminum is a great material for custom because the feed...

Hey Duane, I need some stuff brought up from Mexico. ......could you......uh.......make a call for me......? I'm just kidding but when I get a chance to go South again, I'm going to load up with MV gear and mention your name. Don't worry brother. I've got you covered. If I fly, even...

Thats great, I'm glad you guys made it home safe and sound. And thanks for the kind words. It was really nice to meet the both of you. Its too bad the weather was so chunky, i couldve given you the full tire kicker tour. As for the border..i have to appologise..i know better than that, you cant...

Thats beautiful. I'm about an hour north of you. I have it's dirty/evil twin in my yard. If you decide to let it go send me a pm. I'm sure we can work something out..just dont tell my wife.:sneaky:

I hear you. I used to do it with hammers and bars. But there usually was damage to the backing plate or questionable clearance to bodywork. Now i do it this way. Zero damage and the tools do all the heavy lifting. These were 15x6 brakes and stuck like hell. By the look of it the corrosion the...

Yes this isn't my deuce. But it IS a modern version of a dual wheel cylinder manually adjusted drum brake assembly same as our deuces. This is for the guys in the hobby who are willing to take on things that others throw away. So you bought yourself a truck. Sometimes Father Time has welded the...

That truck is all kinds of cool. I would love to have a unit like that. Hope you do well with the resto!:cool:(y)

Here in Canada I've dealt with this a few times. You do your research as to the decoding of your vin by the manufacturer's data. Print it out including any weblinks.. Take it over to the local autoplan (insurance agents). have them call up the provincial licensing body (ICBC) and state the...

Thank you so much for the warm invitation. This is a direct example of the unbreakable bond between Canadians and Americans on an individual personal level. Truly heartwarming. My family came to Canada before confederation. I was raised to confront adverstity head on. If i dont engage, and...

Ok so here is the latest. A friend of mine dogged the head of the CVSE here in Victoria by phone for a week. Finally got a call back and had a candid discussion with him regarding our situation. Here are the basic take aways; Ex- military vehicles produced prior to 1966 are exempt as the Motor...
