ROBO - you look awesome in that Tee shirt - now you need a K-18 Tee Shirt

PB - this one is for you

Can't believe ya all let this thread go - we have fun for a couple days and ya all slack off ????????? Jim - thanks for sending PB's headset over to me and I will make sure he gets it for his display - pic attached. I would have bought a couple more items at the MVPA thingy but they were all...

Will tell ya what - Matt Bornhorse the local DMV director called me while we were up in KY at the MVPA thingy. Late FRIDAY NIGHT to talk about getting the M909 registered and titled and exactly what I had to do - PB even talked with Matt and he was very informative. You have to remember - the...

Got home early this morning from a very safe ride there and back. Had to load the headache rack and my goodies for the K into the truck and drive back to Lilburn. It was a very worthwhile trip - all except for that fella that wanted $100 for a pair of wiper blade arms - hope ya choke on them...

I am towing a large long string South when I head down in a few minutes - the can is tied tight on my end - we'll test your can when I get there. I call this system - Ole Stand By and it does not take any of that fancy stuff them folks are talking about.

Oh I have all the tools for lead body work and have done it. The real issue is - that was all they had like mentioned above - they did not have the polyester body filling array such as we have today - and if done right will last as long. If done right it as well will not draw moisture to the...

Don't know if you caught it - but when I first started working around the windshield framework - and you look at that factory pic without the box mounted up - the mating was done with LEAD. At the surface you could tell some final wipe down was not done and through the years it was still coming...

And just maybe next month it will be on the SteelSoldiers MV of the Month POLL - how cool is that !!!! I have personally e mailed these places and only one responded with a link to the wikilinks stuff that always comes up - other than that these folks are clueless as well about these. Also from...

One of the questions as well was time period and what proceedures were available then and technology. Actual MIG welding was not in use in a small fashion till the late 1948 and on - K's were already history by then. So to use a stick rod in between buidling some of this stuff needs to be...

Best way to tell if any of them are "genuine" is to gather all the brush guards - or take pic's of all the existing ones and get a case of beer and have a poll. None of all the ones I have seen have been identical - so which one is correct. The L tabs on the ends were a mass produced operation...

Thanks Jim - as well it was great talking with you last night and getting the headset via Zout. Here are some pics for the night fellas - lots more chit going on that I care to discuss but I finally got into the guard - If PB does not like it its no $$$$ loss to him as it was my call to get...

PB must have made him an offer he could not refuse !

If its not pouring rain when I get home - I will waste some time by getting a hand from someone to hold what is made - up near the facia of the truck to give you references and proportional concepts of how this looks. As mentioned - now that I have some more bolts to use on the template for...

I'm not a member either and coming up with CAMO - being there Thur am ??????? Reminds me of when we all went to Huntsville a couple years back trying to get in.

Not meaning to hijack your thread - but as soon as I heard Velcro it brought up some memories. For those old enough might remember this - and when it was investigated Velcro was one of the leading causes of these 3 folks to perish on a landing pad at Cape Kennedy years ago - I went to high...

OH yeah - I got home at 4:17 and had to unload - turn chit on - and get started - some folks like details - figure out how long it took me to do this.

^^^^What HE said. Its 5:45 sitting here posting and typing chit - taking pic's - having sippy pop (one that was needlessly wasted on putting out a wood fire of that stuff). And here is where we are at: Top section getting started as this is the heart of the baby - some more ROUNDING to do to...

Ya'll better hurry up - metal came today and fabbing starts tonight - send by carrier pidgeon (they were MV as well during WW2) I have the bottom mounting down firm - I have where the two sections bolt together down firm - I know how the arms mount into the firewall area and mounting to the...
