WOAH BABY - I remember that 1959 space movie B rated that had a fella that wore that helmet - he was like from Venus or somethingView attachment 413677

Looks like ET's helmet. You know, ET the Extra-Testicle

I'm thinking about welding some horns on that helmet and making it the new "IFS" helmet for special occasions!!

 

[papabear]

OH...I forgot to show yaz the new gauge Doc got off Ebay. That makes a total of er...one of the gauges we need...LOL

 

[Tinwoodsman]

The bar has been set by Doc. Now you have to make the rest of the project look as good as the gauge.

Here's my dash getting ready to go back in. All new gauges and new wiring harness. Water temp gauge, choke and throttle cables and wiper control go in after it's reinstalled.

Now that instrument panel is S-W-E-E-T!

Thank you for posting the pics!! Now I can tell where the gauges are SUPPOSED to go...if we had them...lol... We also seem to be missing ALL the wiring!

Speaking of wiring, did you buy a new harness or make one??

 

[Tinwoodsman]

Well IFS, I have been thinking about the DUKW and it appears that we made need to change your title. I propose CAMO Fleet "Rear" Admiral.

Gotta love the settings on that tire pressure gauge--- Sand, Coral, and Highway.

Ummm...well...we already have a Fleet Rear Admiral...recovery4x4(Kenny)!

PLUS...I don't think anyone who can't swim and is afraid of water should be given even a "Token" Naval Rank.

I'll just stick with my lowly IFS title.

 

[Tinwoodsman]

I can live with that PB. Obviously you did not understand the "rear" part.

 

[papabear]

HEY...GUESS WHAT'S GREEN!!!

Also...guess who left their camera at the terminal!

That is probably worth a demotion in my book PB. The fact that you even posted that teaser with no pics was a dumb move. YOu shoulda waited until you had pics and we wouldn't have known the difference.....

Isn't the IMPERIAL FIRST SERGEANT, by his very nature a bit RANK no matter what?


Just sayin'....

 

[Tinwoodsman]

Getting ugly here. But I would like to see a picture or more.

I know when it was snowing and cold out we use to send the kids out with them mittens that had
them straps on them to hold them to their jacket.

Maybe next time we're down Deb can sew your camera strap to your skin.

I've heard that LARGE wood screws can be equally effective.

"Few people realize that fallen branches, attached to a child's head with LARGE WOOD SCREWS make him look surprisingly like a deer."
