Looks great Mike. What is your overall height now?

But it's restorable and running when parked. :D Thank you for sharing the pic. I didn't think to take pics of any of the ones that I saw.

Bring the Green iron, we will work on the rest. This is a "Friends of Willie and Joe" event. But there will be all eras of vehicles from WW2 this way, a few displays, and some people in period uniforms. As it will be warm, I am not too inclined to the WW2 wool field gear. Bottom line, come...

Hello Joe, glad to have you. Traffic in the park is a bit tricky as they have a fun run going on and have the main road gated. Drive straight in the main entrance, 100 yard or so in the park, there will most likely be a gate across the road, pull to that gate and if no one is there, check to...

The parade is usally done about 1700. Some people are meeting at my house at 0730 if you would like to do that. They are dropping their civy cars and will ride over in MV's, will be to the park at 0800 or before, eat breakfast there, set up and be on display till 1230 and head for the house...

Mine M54 may be needing an oil pressure gauge as well. The needle moves up in a jerky fashion, will pull the connectors off and check for good contact. Instructions, we don't need no stinkin instuctions! Good job.

Sorry you have to work on the 4th. it is shaping up, so far looks like about 8 to 12 vehicles. Depending on what, who has operating that day. Peter

What is the 5% that isn't original. Unrestored, mostly complete without rust through, with proper seat frames, windshield, wheels, body parts, running or not, complete proper engine? and probably a few other things, pretty easily 2500 to 3500 as a bottom starting figure.

Good luck on the rebuild. I followed the thread on rebuilding these, cleaned them, blew them out, put in new o-rings, lubed and have had it apart 6 to 10 times (mostly because I am cheap) with no luck. I managed to find one of the old style metal wiper motors on a friends scrap pile, took it...

Mike, if you need 1 inch stencils, all you have to do is ask. I have a 1914 Marine Corp marked Ideal Stencil machine. It pumps out one inch stencils in exactly the same font as the markings on my 1953 M38A1. the only limitation is paper length if you want it to all be on one piece. Of course...

After Action Report - Mission accomplished For the after action report, we had an M35, M54, and a Ural w/sidecar for the event. The weather was nice, we got in a good breakfast before the parade, and there were no casualties as a result of our participation in this parade. Overall a good day.

We would have to defer to Aaron on this, but the basic rule is no shooting at the event. Weapons that go with a particular vehicle or display would be okay. No live ammo in display areas. this would include the display that we intend to do in town. Aaron's place is in a rural but fairly...

Mike, that looks like a great safety addition. A small piece of ballistic material to make a back rest and additional protection for the gunner would look great up there.

I talked with Aaron on Saturday at the Egg Day parade in Winlock. He was explaining what the Napavine Fun Festival people would like from us this year. His idea was that part of us would go in the parade and part of us would set up a display area there in town. We need to get with them and...

Probably the latest I should leave Centralia is 0845. It will take me about 45 min. to get to Larry's in my speed demon M54. I was not going to uniform up for this one. If we can leave earlier, they have a community breakfast down there that we could hit before the parade. Give a call later. P

I think he should bring them to Centralia! :)

Hope you can make it. So far we are at about 5 vehicles.

If you would like to come down, that would be great. Give me a call Friday afternoon or evening for final planning on time. Winlock is Exit 63 on I-5. I want to take the 5T down and am thinking of leaving around 0830. I will be pushed for time after the parade as I have another display to do...

Felix, is your M38A1 a stocker, original, restored, or under restoration? I have enjoyed mine, but it has been neglected the last couple of years due to getting the 1942 running. If you are up to the run, come down for the 4th of July to Centralia. There is a thread under upcoming events...

Wanted to get this one bumped back up. We have been doing this event for about 12 to 14 years and it is always well received by the community. We usually get about 8 to 12 vehicles, but there is no limit. Just let me know so we can plan for food. Thank you, P.
