    WW2 Photos Old Iron

    Great photos! Thanks for sharing. One other resource that I like for period photos of WWII vehicles is at the Library of Virginia. They have digitized a huge number of United States Army Signal Corps photos from Hampton Roads Port of Embarkation, Newport News, Virginia. Idea that the...

    What to take for that long first trip

    I try to also have: Add brake fluid, funel with some tubing, jumper cables (or slave cable with multiple end adapters) and cell phone. Towbar if I have a buddy running "chase". Big honkin' chain... To be honest, a lot of what I haul on a first trip sorta depends on how far I am going, if I...

    East Coast Convoy 2007

    The East Coast Convoy is going to the Aberdeen MV Rally held at Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen, MD. It is a huge MV rally with lots of vendors, lots of vehicles, and a lot of Steelsoldiers... I'm cooking Eastern NC style BBQ for the Convoy folks (all you have to have is a 2007 convoy t-shirt for...

    M817 dumps in Columbus, OH

    With a big THANKS to Gimpyrobb and Junkyard Wars Crusher who went over last Friday and spent the day looking at the 21 M817 dumps up for auction, I managed to purchase one today! They gave me a list of all the high and low points for each truck and rated them for me (since I am way over in...

    East Coast Convoy 2007

    My plans are to depart Aberdeen for the run home on Sunday morning. Saturday night is pretty much deserted, but those few that are left have a very relaxed time socializing... :) I've got to run over and pick up a hardtop for a M37 at some point during the weekend and will likely do it Sunday...

    Cheap 5-ton tractors in VA

    Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Cheap 5-ton tractors in VA I just take my older tanks over to a buddy who runs a radiator shop and have him tank them... Then I have him epoxy coat them inside and out... I've heard that the lye based drain cleaners work well, but it is so easy to have Woody tank...

    M38 Project...Done...

    I haven't used any of John's repair panels (yet), so it's good to hear that they are up to par (not that I would have thought otherwise given the quality of his other parts...). I just got a package from him last night with my doors and skins for my M38, along with a bunch of small parts...

    Speedo woes

    Geez Frank... The image of me in a speedo has ME gagging... I don't own one, and if I did, I wouldn't post a photo of me wearing it here since folks would never recover... To help everyone recover from that mental image, here are a couple shots of some nice suits on ladies in my M38 (not...

    Dot 3 or Dot 5 Brake fluid?

    My experience: DOT5 isn't always purple... Even the purple versions (most all is) tends to loose its color when in the system... It all turns sorta straw colored over time.

    Tranny oil level

    I fill it up to the plug, add some when the level drops down about 1/2-3/4 inch below... I'd rather leak some lube going down the road then sieze up the trany on a trip...
