Alright, I need some suggestions on wiper upgrades.
I have the good aluminum air powered motors (which I like) and the standard civvy arm and blade upgrade everyone here has been running for years (Anco 41-01 arms and 31-13 blades). It works awesome except the chickenpoop plastic clips which...
Alright, another one in the can.
Where do you start?
We all appreciate everyone coming to the event and it's always our hope that people enjoy it.
We appreciate the fact that the event is family friendly and has the kind of atmosphere that first time attendees always mention when you ask...
Ok folks, last minute stuff:
I have a little bit of last minute loading to do in the morning, but you know how that goes, so I'd anticipate my arrival to be around 10am-ish and I'm bringing the rally trailer with me.
When I get there, I'll need some volunteers to help assemble the mess tents...
Ok, so an announcement and some pics.
A. Announcement
Received an email from Durhamtown this morning saying they will be unable to have a staff member at the rally field to sell armbands, so all attendees will need to hit the lodge to pay their armband (spectator, driver, passenger) and...
I will admit I'm really bad about using a pressure washer and degreaser to make stuff as spotless as possible and so far, my EG22 has survived both in the original box (plastic) and the newer metal box it's currently in. I think if I was doing an EG22 swap and I wasn't going to mount it in a...
And the distributor shaft can only slide into the oil pump shaft one way- the slot is offset. And people frequently forget to "time" the oil pump to the cam so the slot will be where you expect it.
A. Oh man, I'm famous! :clinto:I always thought it was funny when people started advertising CUCVs with the Doghead relay on Craigslist and eBay and I still laugh out loud at the idea of a person who's never been on SS seeing such an ad and saying "WTF IS A DOGHEAD RELAY!?". I live for the...
I'm doing a restoration on a '42 White M2A1 halftrack and I need some help with colors.
The engine is at the machine shop and I'm building the gearboxes now. I think the engine is supposed to be grey (it was the same olive drab as the vehicle when I received it) but I'm not sure about the...
Ok, I know many of ya'll have attended for many years, so you gloss over the ever-lengthening main post (#1) above. So here's the cliff notes:
A. The waivers of liability are now combined, so you only have to sign one, as opposed to two. And, you can download it here and fill it out and...
This year will be very similar to last year’s event, obviously the date is 2019 specific. So, if you’ve attended the last few years, you probably know what you need to know.
We'd also like to take this opportunity to thank our 2019 sponsor, Memphis Equipment, for their assistance. Without them...
Working on the thread now. Sorry for the late info, guys. I have two companies, both are growing, I just bought a piece of land to eventually build a house on, aging parents and grandparents, blah, blah, blah.
So basics:
Oct. 16-20, 2019
Same basics as last year (MKT, hardball convoy...
I did not change out all the rubber components.
This is one of those things where I had read all of the comments about an alcohol flush and switch to BFS being a bad idea. And I got in a pickle with my '68 Road Runner and did it. And it ran for years afterwards without issues. I slowly did...
I noticed a difference I think I'd noticed before but couldn't quite put my fingers on it until I had two trucks with headlight swaps at the same time.
Both of these are old trucks (60s ish) but left the military in the 2000s, so who knows what they had when new, what got replaced with what...
I have two brake bleeders (the regular pressurized setup everyone uses).
I drain the system, then I fill the pressure bleeder with denatured alcohol and flush it all the way through the system (i.e. open all the bleeders).
Once I'm confident everything is out, I simply turn my air pressure...
