So how about a pic of your pre-restore truck you just got nopics

Seeing as you fellas already handled the big info ticket items - here is a lesser thought to be sure your not doing (and I see drivers try to do this until I catch them). Never fill your coolant resevoir tank to the top - if its a 10 lb pressurized system it needs that 10 lbs of free area to...

That is also why Ron stated when the engine was pulled it all looked original and in its proper place and nothing looked re-fabbed like something else got slammed in the hole in place of something else. I personally think the way she was bolted up - its the first time freed since the day she...

Dirty but looks unused - mud daubbers ruled the roost on the underside of the truck for decades. You'll eventually see pics of it when I get into it.

Did not see any link to this and not sure if its in the right spot nor of any help. I found this while on a search for the current project on hand and saved the link - if its of no value please just delete the thread. http://www.royalsignals.org.uk/american.html

Will get that top radius sanded tonight to get 2k on it. Should be able to first sand the 2k already on it and see what that surface looks like - it may require a second coat in only some areas. I have no doubts the entire truck exterior will be in TM8 by this coming weekend and you know what...

WELL - sent you the pic of a CF-351 with a V8 mid chassis behind the cab - all WE have to do is cut a hole and make the driveshaft a little shorter is all and some linkages a little longer. Building a cover over the engine in the box is a breeze. VRRRRROOOM

Ya know - I just go day by day and take it as its thrown at me and do what I need to do. Same way if I may say you should take the engine coming at you - it just all falls into place if you do not rush it or push it. I find it more interesting to work outside in the environment and do what I...

Memorial Day weekend coming up with extra time to work on it - I foresee GREEN all around - then again I see another PB orgasm prematurely coming on. Till then - its hand sanding time and get the top primered.

Dragged the digital temp gun down to show hot fricking butt arse baking HOT it is - now that I am done whining. Here are your pics for the night to chew on.

Here's one for you. A factory photo sitting outside the factory awaiting the box installation and grafting.

Well lets see if we can get ya a litte closer to your "dream truck" tonight. I see the upper area of the cab in 2k primer tonight and the rest of the black bare metal 2k primer sanded - due to the heat in late afternoon on that side I will be watching it close when I am shooting it - don't...

Well - its just info only - but everything I find on information and some of which I have e mailed you is that these units were state of the art communications systems. They were to guide air crews into an air strip and also they reason they are found on islands as well during WW2. These systems...

PB owes me nothing. As far as the engine we know what we have and what $ we have to work with. That is a firm deal within CAMO. PB knows how the engine has to go back in which is NOT a piece of cake nor a walk in the park - it is tight. Removal of any body work is not an option and it has to...

Good timing PB - use what we have. My BIG air compressor gave up the ghost today - compressor locked up - full of nice new oil and new air filter and BANG - swapped over (using what we have) to my smaller IR compressor and seeing how the blasting was done yesterday it did not have to work so...

Body work day as stated. See if this knucklehead can work on tapping out that nose on the hood. Lower valance is broken and bent down (easy fix) Got one of the lower louvers bent back into shape - lots of the louvers on the left lower side are pitted - this is an easy fix also - just takes time...

Body work tomorrow

You go ahead and have an orgasm - kind of premature after what got done today
