Howdy: Been having computer issues for a while which ended up with a toasted unit. :cry: I'm now posting from down in the dungeon, which isn't the easiest thing to do since me and stairs ain't the best of friends. I'm happy that my old buddy down here still works, what with all the cobwebs over...

Boatcarpenter: I couldn't find it. Later Ugg 8)

okietrailchaser: Welcome. I'm relatively new here too, and I'd like to tell you there are many, many good and informative/knowledgable people here. As for price/worth, many will tell you the prices are starting to raise. If ya watch GL, you'll see that the days of a $2K deuce are becoming...

Guys: My interest in the deuce started back in my pre teen days when I saw the movie RED BALL EXPRESS. Can you say "Lift and Lo oad" (I still know all the words to that song. :oops: ). Later Ugg 8)

Crazyguyla: Was that the old Iraqi army or the current one. :shock: Later Ugg 8)

Bjorn: A FYI, I got the NOS switch from White Owl for $15.60. Later Ugg

Squirt-Truck: Is that measurement taken at the center of the top? What about where the curves are? rmgill: Are you accounting for the curvature in the top bow? Later Ugg 8)

Guys: When I got the Frog, there was one up near me (deuce, not a frog), in Sparta, WI. It had no trans, the engine was toast, and the body had MAJOR cancer. After ya add tax and bidders fee, it went for over $3K. :shock: But if ya stop and think, how much are they goin for on ePay? Spendin $4...

Kenny: You forgot to mention that GLS has raised the starting bids too. Also, the pictures they show are not necessarily whats up for bid (as I found out the hard way :( ). I will no longer bid on anything from them unless I can get to see it for myself. Later Ugg 8)

Guy's: Why not pull out the throttle cable? :? Later Ugg 8)

Mark: Actually, what you do is kinda like an old timers trick when starting when it's real cold out. Ya eurn your lights on for about 10-15 sec then crank. You'll get the battery's max output then. Later Ugg 8)

Armada: Cool. Have ya ever gone and seen the Silversides? I used to work on her while she was moored here in Windy. Spent many an hour with a pin gun taking old paint off. Later Ugg 8)

:oops: Oh, I forgot. What size is the drill bit that is needed? I couldn't make it out on the sheet. Thanks Ugg 8)

Armada: Thanks for the info. BTW, how close are you to Muskegan? Boatcarpenter: Oh no, your not late, I haven't started to do the install yet. THANKS! So actually, those loops mount to the grille guard and ya run the straps thru to lash the cover in place, right? BTW, what are those aligator...

Howdy: Does anyone have photos (closeups) of the cover installed? O noticed holes on the top of the cover that look like the holes on the roof canvas where tabs slide thru and turn, but can't figure out if in fact that's what they are for or for something else? :? TIA Ugg 8)

Bjorn: I'll ah, pass on the windshield thang. I've already broken part of my beard off in the past due to excessive cold. :oops: In hopes of keeping windshield frost down, ski masks and scarfs will also be worn. :lol: Later Ugg 8)

Mark: Check your batteries out and see if maybe the fluid froze. Later Ugg 8)

Guys: Yesterday AM it was a balmy -5 with a windchill of -20. Today we have a heatwave, it's currently 6 with a high of 20. Today, I have to use the Frog and I don't anticipate any starting issues. One quick shot of either in the breather and it cranks right up. It would really have been nice...

Bjorn: Got it, Thanks. [thumbzup] I'm sure this'll help a bit. Now if I can only get the heater mounted. It seems ya need a mounting plate for it and I was promised one, but I guess it got lost in the shuffle. :cry: Later Ugg 8)

Bjorn: Thanks for the direction. As soon as my eyes clear up I'll take a look. Man, these colds suck. Later Ugg 8)
