Just how cool is that homemade roto-stand!!GEEEZ! I love this site!! Thanks for yet another great idea! Jim

I have a 7.5hp/80gal compressor that is plumbed in with my old 60gal receiver(flat wore out the ol' girl).The Hardley Fright sandblaster holds about a sack so that kinda slows the job down but we get it done.Used 30 grit sand ,PPG 40/401 Epoxy Primer and Concept single stage on the...

I'll first toss out a disclaimer that I personally have not used or been around soda blasting so I have no first hand experiance with it.That being said , a while back I was on the Al Gore interweb google searching the topic Sandblasting,etc and ran across a body shop forum. The discussion...

I have used old appliance skins for sheet metal replacement for years.They are really easy to come by and fairly thick metal.Old dryers are a better choice simply because they are not as heavy as the washer for loading unloading and movin' around8-). Jim

Well,since that is a wrecker and they tend to have lots of hydraulics (and lots of hydraulics leaks) if it were mine I would think about the semi- gloss like 24087.Seems like it would clean up a lot easier than a lusterless which would forever show smudges after an oil leak. With a lusterless...

Yep, Alex @ Idaho motorpool is probly the biggest and most well known. There was Jim @ Military truck just outside of Weiser but last time I was past there 2 weeks ago lots of stuff has been cleaned up-I've heard he is winding down-heading for retirement. There was a WWII veteran just a...

Just an added thought here---I noticed like everyone that the Gillispie while a good color match--goes on smooth,and while it is a flat/lusterless did not match that rough-ness the real CARC has. So- I'm wondering if anyone has tried altering their spray technique by holding the gun back off...

Nice truck! Welcome to the site from Salmon River Country! Jim

Welcome from Salmon River Country! Nice truck ,you will find lots of info here to help you. BUT I got a question: I'm guessing you got some Goodyear custom Ultra-grip Hi -milers there by the way the tread looks --okay WHERE did you find them? Any more to be had? I have that tire on my gasser...

:ditto:

All I can say is wow.

200inches of snow?? Sounds like around here!Maybe it's in a spot where the wind blows enough so that the snow does not accumulate on the top of the thing.I'm not familiar with the construction of the 109 box but there is a limit as to how much "glacier" every structure will stand. Thought I...

Well, shoot, I own and operate a gasser but it has been changed to 12 volt (by the p.o./firedept) so I don't think if I told you/showed how my truck is equipped, that the info would do you any good.:roll: And while I have heard that the multi-fuel trucks exist, I haven't seen one8)!! Jim

I agree with the above--we can quibble all day on whether it is not perfect in everyway today but sometime in the near future we will wish someone would have saved even the nuts and bolts that attached the grill guard on a wwii CCKW! Just like the Warbird community has found.Years ago that...

Yup,not enough horse power to break them loose. But at least it would finish spinning them off once you broke them loose with the old Armstrong Hand tools.Handy to have one for your on board tool kit for out in the boonies. JJ

Yup, Do17, I used to own one. Great a/c. Plastic-glued it together all by myself-- Revell I think-----------:-D Thanks for posting! JJ

Seems as EVERYBODY has jumped on the tear the truckers a new a$$ band wagon. Them big bad trucks tear up our roads (EVERYBODY knows that!) so we gotta make them PAY and pay BIG cuz everybody knows them truckers are rich!! !SHEESH! If the roads were engineered for the expected traffic(I-80 gets a...

I need to go the opposite way! LOL! I have a WWII M7 genset that is 3phase.How can I run single phase tools off it.For example it would be handy around here to take my shop welder outside for projects away from the building.

Thats interesting!My dad had and operated a small portable Sawmill built by the Corinth Manufacturing Co. ,Corinth,Mississippi.Found a story on the web about the history of the original company.According to the story the manufacturer built the first factory building in the State, did different...
