Man, I'm looking forward to the rally again. Not looking forward to the 16-hour drive one-way there and back, but hey - no pain, no gain.

Yes, that's a big, old design engine with a LARGE truck to have it move. Back in the day, when gas was 40 cents a gallon the military really could give a mouse's butt about mileage. Nowadays, they consider it a bit more when designing vehicle specs. Great news on the win, Dirt71 ! The...

That area of Kentucky has been pretty built up the last couple decades. By in the day, it was wilderness. However, that whole strip from Louisville down Dixie Highway to Radcliff and E-town has made the whole area very crowded. I heard instances of several depleted-uranium penetrators from...

I'm there. Have to bring stuff up for people, plus get parts for my next project. It's a nice little parts swap meet. Haven't missed it since its inception.

I can do a tshirt design again, but it will require a couple weeks time, and I must ask for 100% committed payment before I place the order. Last time I made shirts for a rally, I ordered 35 shirts for people who said "I want one", but when the bill came due, only 20 people had cash for shirts.

I'm in again. Will go to the webpage to sign up shortly.

Recently I've been planning to make a trip to John Winslow's place in NC to pick up some parts. I don't know what it is, but I have a feeling God doesn't want me to go. Weekends that I planned to head down there were: Weekend before Christmas (30 inches of snow) Last weekend in January (6...

I'm in. I should be out of work by then again, so I'll have free time! Just myself, in my M35A2. Fri-Sat-Sun.

I know what this is... This is an espresso machine. No, no wait. It's a snow cone maker. Is it a water heater?

That's exactly what I was thinking!

You have a very uphill battle. This is akin to saying "I own a Kenworth bus, what will it take to turn it into a Mack fire engine?" Save your $$$, and buy the real thing. It isn't worth the headache to convert.

Variant of the 6-pdr. Hotchkiss cannon. Here's a pic of one restored. Caliber is 57mm, used as a naval deck gun from the latter 1800s to early in 1900s. Quite a find at a yard sale!

Looks great to me! Keep us posted....

Yeah, I remember when MVM got the acronym wrong on the cover page a while back. I was arguing with my mail at the mailboxes, and some neighbors looked at me funny. I'm picky, I guess. And I argue with the covers of my mail.

Awesome save! I believe there are others out there like this, I have seen pics of two others of the same type, but different conditions. Either way, congrats!

Bruce, Who is selling a wrecker for $250K? Just curious, as I figure if he's charging that much for it, it's best I stay away from any deals from that seller in the future. Just because an item is rare or uncommon doesn't make it worth a lot of money. Come to think of it, $250K may be the...

She's a keeper. Now if she knew how to rebuild the old one, that'd be AWESOME!

Looks like Ferroequinologist may have some competition in the demolition business! rofl

I have owned deuces with the "sand filled paint" application, as well as rectangular sections of what looks to be adhesive non-slip product of some sort. It has always been applied to the tops of the front fenders of the deuces I have had, as well as the tops of a couple front bumpers. I'm...

Tanks and other tracked vehicles aren't "road legal" per se, they can be driven on the road with rubber-footed tracks, but you'll probably still need to notify your local police force that you would like to drive the vehicle on the roads around your place. Worst they can say is no, and they...
