    Coonass Militia intercepts Russian Bear

    I'm a cracker born from some Koonass. Here in Florida there are fewer and fewer of us. Those bears are huge. Interdiction usually meant those boys got pretty close from what I've read. Thanks for posting the pic.[thumbzup]

    Magnetic Drill vs Regular drill for Bobbing

    I love the production jig. No I have never tried the welding rod with rivits. We did relax the rivits with a torch. Cut the heads then use a really large hammer or air hamer. But this was on a 1952 chevy.

    Magnetic Drill vs Regular drill for Bobbing

    That is the logic I put to the mechanic when he told me about this method to remove bolts. Now a rivit is by nature expanded not really rusted in to place but seeing how easily the bolt came out after he did this I was sold. Matter of fact it was just a set of vice grips on the end of the...

    Magnetic Drill vs Regular drill for Bobbing

    have you tried drilling the shank of the rivet? I have never done this but I have had people tell me to stick a welding rod on broken bolts to heat and loosen them. Take a 6010 and turn the amperage way down and just pump the juice to it for 3-5 seconds. I was told to just unclamp from the...

    The Official m101-series-bed-on-a-pickup-truck pics thread

    Instead of modifying a cover I was hoping to just find one of approximate the right size. I find its always easier that way. Yes a canvas shop could modify or even myself. I've worked on boat tops and have a friend with a canvas and leather sewing machine. I'm worried about changing the width...

    The Official m101-series-bed-on-a-pickup-truck pics thread

    I was curious if anyone knows off hand of a right size gen set cover for something say Jeep size. Gavan had to take approximately 2 foot I think out of his and that negated the usefulness of the cover. I was thinking a gen set cover would be alittle shorter but I think they will be too...

    Which tent would you recommend?

    Choosing Indian tipi (teepee, tepee) styles, sizes, and fabrics Though not OD it is canvas. For long term living you really can't beat these things. Due to interesting family hobbies I've grown up around these things. Have seen them survive 50 MPH gust and tornadoes and can attest to the...

    Fiberglass Dash?

    Careful on the material from sewing shops some synthetics will not react well with the resin. Also I like the thick sheet backing for quilting you can get it to make nice curves and sweeps. You will have to lay finish mat (tightly weave) on it to finish it. A friend laid that down for a center...

    Seabee Deuce Crew Cab Project

    I was thinking that was what you meant. I'm not as educated on doing this mod but I've looked into quite a few section and drops on other vehicles. I like using the flanger tools to run a 1/4 inch flange that you can then spot weld panels into. On short run can stiffen panels.

    Fiberglass Dash?

    Tin foil will make a nice cheep release agent for almost anything. If you want to cap something in fiber glass 1 cover with foil 2 smooth out crinkles 3 verify no holes and lay some glass in. I've capped cut up consoles that way on a few boats. Been thinking of doing this for my 03 dodge...
