    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    There's plenty to be said about travel for its own sake, that is always true. But, is there a particular reason for this trip?

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    You are a cool cookie, because to be driving the vehicle that goes through that must rattle the nerves. I guess what I was directly behind was a combination blow-out/ delamination: - There was the huge report and a simultaneous cloud of smoke, gas, and debris - And then the really frightening...

    My New Project - 1942 Ford GPW

    The Old Man deserved it. He was something else. I think I read somewhere that briquettes (for grilling) were an idea of his. Ford made it's own wooden parts as needed at the plants, and he figured why just throw out the wood waste when there was money to be made? So he came up with the idea...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I'm liking how each battery has a built-in handle. Somebody was thinking there and THAT was a sure enough good idea.

    My New Project - 1942 Ford GPW

    Excellent looking work as always, real nice. So did Ford stamp each part out of their plants with an "F"?

    I'm thinking poor-folk would be using rinsed out Chinese-food carryout containers. I think what you is is Clever-Folk. Well done! [thumbzup]

    That is NOT a small job.

    Maybe they accidentally got wet in transit, and shrunk.

    Taking home a KraZ 214b - need some help finding front axle shafts

    Here's what it is about your work Skull Crusher: - It always looks so perfectly executed, and like it was all simple and easy. - I never picture you busting' knuckles, or swearing any blue streak of frustration. All this might just be in my imagination, but your excellent photos always lend...

    I'll have to go visit and check it all out one day. Is your well water holding up OK where you are?

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    No, It wasn't a "shorts replacement" scare, but it definitely startled the **** out of me (just not directly to my shorts). And I would describe my one episode as less like the discharge of a shotgun and more like exploding ordnance. And then there's that huge slab of moving rubber you're...

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    I was behind a tractor-trailer once that blew out a tire at about that speed: - I thought a bomb had gone off or something, I mean it "exploded" Luckily i was driving maybe 300-400 feet behind it, and managed to steer around the mayhem. I got my religion right there. I no longer directly...

    Modern Russian Army in the photos.

    I'm thinking that designing aircraft around a human being (i.e., a "pilot"), is just handicapping the aircraft's performance. Take out the cockpit, the gauges, all of the life-support systems and I'm guessing you can significantly increase the machine's efficiency. Anybody out there know...

    The floor looks really good. It sure doesn't look like old standard red oak or anything. I lost track now, but it that one of those 3/8" thick "floating" floors?
