Yep, it is, just to keep the rust at bay during the winter.She's going to get a full media blast in three months,then a proper paint job. Dan

Hey, we're practically neighbors, let me know if you need help(I was an AE in the Marines)

I'm going to install a PTO and winch, and am building a custom aluminum camper unit that slides in the back.still need to get an intercom and a radio or two(got a PRC-77)

Good idea, the switches I use are mil spec aviation grade so they are completely sealed already but the rubber would look good. From left to right there is a on-off-on switch for the red/white floorboard and dome lights, next is a 71/2 amp circuit breaker for lighting/control power, next is an...

I just finished a set of bows, I used white oak and built a steam box to curve the cross pieces. I got lucky and found some really good oak at a lumber reclamation yard in town. The steam box is easy to make.Here's a link http://www.ceolas.org/instruments/bodhran/santin/MakeBox.htm Dan

Here's my deuce, she's a 67 multifuel, doing lots of electrical upgrades to make it easier to connect just about anything.

Raychem makes a splice system that consists of clear blue heatshrink, gel seals at each end and a solder ring in the middle.just strip the wire and use a heat gun, it's that simple and completely waterproof. We use them in on aircraft all the time.

Sounds like you need a step bolt, out here we have an outfit called Tacoma Screw,they have a website http://www.tacomascrew.com/ they might have what you need. Dan

Marinco makes a really good weatherproof bulkhead mount plug with waterproof cover. just open the cover and plug the extension cord in.

I joined the Marines and never looked back, it was the best 15 years of my life, I was medically retired after a helicopter crash or I would have done at least 20.There is nothing that compares to the people you meet, the places you'll go and the things you'll do.I went in as a...

Thanks, I'll get a rebuild kit and get started.MC looks new but I think I'll rebuild that while I'm there.:|

Took everything apart line wise this afternoon.Brake lights went out, soon as I put everything back together and built up air pressure, lights back on , brakes locked again:cry:

I'm with you, we should do a rally. Soon as I get this brake problem figured out I'll be up and running.:cry:

Here are a few pics of what I've been doing, the red/white lights are secondary instrument lights from a UH-1N but they make great floorboard lights. The switches control the dome/floorboard lights, 24 VDC non-essential bus and 12 VDC non-essential bus. the circuit breaker is for the control...

You know it, 3 years ago I got a 58 Dodge 300 series stakebody truck for Christmas. How do you like the locking hubs you put on?:driver: Dan

My wife bought me a 67 J/K M35A2 (whatta gal!) a couple of months ago for my birthday. I've been doing extensive modifications to the electrical systems. since I was an AE I'm using lots of aviation parts, map lights, relays, switches and such.(go with what you know) I'll post some pics later on...

Now that's "curb appeal" besides, isn't a yard just a parking space that hasn't been used yet?

That's true, a lot we used were crimp but we still liked the solder type better.and best of all you can always solder a crimp pin. 'course I was working on N model Huey's so modern it wasn't.
