    Preamble to yet another WC brought back to life

    Proud of ya Chris - way to go and support. I never give up on anyone hanging around till they get that deer in the headlight look like they are loosing interest - then I am done with them. Speaking of tree's - I had that one cut down "someone" nailed and going to make him a desk plague out of it.

    Opps - the fenders off the box accidentally fell off - Got the framework pulled out before blasting and make sure it was square with the frame - opened the bolt package and used the OEM hardware. Got the outside of the box blasted minus the fenders - major work blasting to the interior of the...

    M43 is home

    Wow - looking at your roof just brought back flashback memories - doing mine was in the full GA sun in summer time. I took a high speed sander with fibre discs to mine with 80 grit and whizzed the whole thing - then went over it with 120 - the rest was palm sanded down from there. Nice work...

    I know exactly what your saying - my phone goes off all day on my day off w/breakdown calls for authorization. If it were a timed event I would be a looser - I just get on a roll and stay that same speed till Zout2 comes home or the squirrels arrive and I lock up and head to the house. That...

    Little paint for the M5A1

    That looks hard on the knee's and back besides being in tight quarters to do that work - looks awesome. What type of lighting do you use in the hull so you do not bake yourself while spraying.

    Headlight buckets ripped - mutilated and double coated with rust preventative. The wiring was viciously mutilated and after talking with John up at Midwest these harness's are not available and only come with a main harness afterstock. Then only a rubber grommet is placed where the Military...

    Preamble to yet another WC brought back to life

    Amazes me how some folks just rip pics apart for the little stuff - my door is always open so you can teach me and learn work habits besides endurance. Just bring your big boy diapers. Seeing as I mention that - look at the pic with the steps when I first laid them on - did ya not notice...

    Preamble to yet another WC brought back to life

    BTW - I do get a few pm's about what it should be and what I did wrong or kinda like what I did - but I really do not care. If them folks would come here and spend a couple days working with me they would be running out of the garage screaming like babies and headed back to mama for a hug. I...

    Preamble to yet another WC brought back to life

    Now that it is running with the stuff hooked back up - I just stick a 5 gallon bucket where the seat belongs - turn the radio UP HIGH on the counter - grab my beer and let my imagination run wild - sometimes I just throttle up a bit just to get the "feel". At least I cannot back into a tree...
