The swap meet area: Bathroom area adjacent to swap meet Pavilion adjacent to swap meet

Hey everybody. This is Clint. Please accept my apologies for how long this has taken. Mac and I visited more than a dozen sites and due to the distances involved, every one of those was an all day affair. So both of us had to take an entire day off work, drive out there, look it over, and then...

Just show up. We'll post the date and location this week. I can't tell ya'll how sorry I am about the delays. I have worked 7 days a week for the last year and a half and I'm exhausted to the point that I'm useless. But we have a spot and we'll have a date and Mac's already started writing...

Yupp, that's the stuff. You can buy it in black, white, gray and red. The gray must be new, I didn't even know they offered that. Literally everything I've painted in the last 10 years have been with this stuff. 15 years ago, my buddy bought a couple 416s which we stripped to bare metal and...

I typically paint Gillespie at the recommended 4:1 ratio and use Xylene like everyone else. I have thinned it as much as 1:1 without issues. I shoot it with a cheap Harbor Freight paint gun...

Steve's book is excellent, I can not say enough good things about it. I am doing a pretty complete rebuild on a '42 M2A1 and the only component I haven't gone through (yet) is the rear axle. I've done the front axle, both gearboxes, the engine, the brakes, new tracks, etc. Steve's book is...

I wanted to make a quick post and let everyone know where we're at. I know we're only 5 months out from the typical rally time and people need enough time to get off work. We're doing the best we can - the rally doesn't pay any of us and we're all busy with jobs and family, so it's hard to...

4 6TLs Thanks for all the technical assistance. I'll make sure the client understands to keep these on a tender, never let them discharge and consider moving to a two-battery setup

moar Evidence of a different color on this oil canister drain plug Oooooold school filter Getting closer. Ceramic coated manifolds. I rebuilt both the starter and fuel pump

Engine First primer going on. Southern Polyurethane's excellent epoxy. First coat. PPG's Omni (house brand) line of urethane. Has one part flattening agent. I'm operating at the limit of my old Snap-on engine stand. Flipping this over isn't fun.

I've put about 100 miles on this now without issues. Keeping my fingers crossed.

So Mac and I have been working on a replacement location and we have a couple potential candidates. I'm sending Dave (u/rustyjunk) to recon it next week. We've spoken to the facility management and they're excited to have us but there is a substantial fee that the rally would have a hard time...

No apology is necessary, I just want to make sure that a narrative doesn't begin to take hold that I chose to end to our relationship with D-town.

Yes, Mac and I are working on this. We've been to multiple sites, in person, trying to find something that would make everyone happy. The amount of time it takes to put this on is mind boggling. There's so much time in it behind the scenes that no one sees. Just getting our lawyer and D-town's...

The vast, vast majority of that kit is not going to be used for the head gasket job. You'll only use: Head gaskets (x2) Road draft tube to valve cover gasket (x1) Valve cover gaskets (x2) Water manifold gaskets (x6) Intake and exhaust manifold gasket (x1 I think) Turbo to exhaust manifold...

At the end of the day, they could tell you to leave. It's their facility and I think the argument "oh hey, we just all happened to show up on the same weekend" probably wouldn't fly.

To be honest; no, I had not considered that aspect. When I stopped judging at Mopar Nationals a long time ago, I asked the uppity-ups why they insisted on doing it in August when it was always 105° and the answer was simple: "It's been the 2nd week of August for 20 years. If we changed the...

So, I'll let the cat out of the bag. Right after the rally, I emailed D-town and asked for a date. There was some back and forth with D-town about the hunters complaining about the noise but honestly, I've heard that from them for 10-12 years. Then out of the blue they send me an email. I'll...

A lot. I'll have to dig to find the pictures but it's more than you'd expect for a truck of this size
