Weather.com has now removed the showers from Friday's forecast and is showing sunny. See, haven't even put my fertilizer down yet, just thinking about it....[thumbzup] Well, that didn't last long, they are back in the forecast, but as chance of. Guess it will be what it will be, the forecasters...

I can stop by the hooch on Sat in uniform with my field gear (web gear), M16, helmet. I could even be talked into watching the hooch for a while if you want to walk around a bit.

Could be a good weasel year, from what I read on the weasel forum there might be 7-9 of them this year! :drool: I'll be there Sat with both cameras and lots of memory (for the cameras, my memory is shot!!) :cookoo:

Don't know if it will work at the distances involved, but I'll be putting fertilizer on my lawn Wed PM which will all but garrantee sunny skies for the next 2 weeks here.....

I had heard they were getting one last fall but didn't realize it was in such rough shape. I should see it next month at their annual "Battle for the Airfield" event.

Sorry I didn't get to see Untouchable in PA, had hoped it would get to Gilbert. Oh well, NJ isn't far....

I'm looking for as much info and photos as possible for the M37 gun truck Satan's Little Helper. I've only found 2 photos so far, in Hard Ride II and Through a Google search. The only info I have is that it was in the 88th Trans Co. My ultimate goal is to do this truck, but I would like to...

I was thinking about the cost as I hit the post button. I'm accustom to working with aluminum but as I don't have to pay for it, I guess I'm in the dark. As for the weight going up fast, yep, and so does the difficulty in handling it. I'm sure that back in the day they had forklifts, cranes or...

You probably already know there are some new M60 airsoft guns available that look almost perfect. They ain't cheap, but what is? Just wondering if aluminum is an option for guntruck replicas. It would seem to be lighter and easier to work with (as far as cutting and drilling, I guess welding...

I wasn't all that happy with the above shot in post 155, so I re-did a few things including filling that big blank area of the sky. This one is a little better balanced to my eye:

Ok, here's another Photoshop job, took the Wolfman and planted it into the firebase, added some age and this is what I get:

I had just heard of this show a few weeks ago at a local car show. With the closing of the local Golden Age of Trucking Museum, they likely won't be having their annual fall show. This may help my old truck fix for this year.

Thanks Carl, looks like a good one to put on my calender. Older is better as far as I'm concerned.

I've never been, so I'm wondering if they have any MVs and is anyone from SS planning on going?

I'll have to see if I can find Mr. Peabody and his way-back machine.[thumbzup] I can take the wrinkles out in Photoshop, but the extra 40 lbs is all up to you!!!:mrgreen: Thanks, hope to see you all at the next gathering.

I took a few of my shots from Friday and applied some weathering to make them look like they were shot 40 years ago. Let me know what you think (good or bad, I can take it!)

Driver, thanks for the kind words, much appreciated. Look at your PM in a few minutes...

Photos from the Friday meet at the USAHEC are now up! Gun Truck Gathering 2010 Photo Gallery by baywing at pbase.com I have to apologize to crew of the truck stuck at the hotel, I plum forget to go to the hotel when I left. Could say it was due to lack of sleep, old age or any other thing, but...

My opinion, FWIW. A replica truck would demand good, thorough research of the truck you are reproducing. This could be a long process depending on how much info is available. I feel if you are doing a replica, you are bound to do it as close as possible to the original. A tribute truck grants...

Thanks for the kind words, Driver. It was a pleasure to meet you and I thank you for taking a few minutes to talk with me, I know there were a lot of demands for your time.
