Hello From Chattanooga Ten.!!!

[Jeeagle]

Just joined. I am a volunteer/member at the Flight Museum in Hixson Ten. I am currently the OIC of the motor pool which now consist of one 1954 M38a-1 and a M275 A5 (I think is the correct designation)

Both are in decent shape to restore and already have had considerable work done to them by me to make them dependable and useful to the Museum. I am hoping to find out as much info on here for getting some bugs worked out and hope to perhaps even have a few fellow Chatt Town Steel Soldiers to drop by and see us.


The M274 and M38a-1 with our C-45H providing background.

I just recently Re-Timed the Mule and it is running outstandingly. Besides some tire, deck, and paint work she is is great condition I believe. The Jeep however is rough around the edges and I am currently having fun with the wiring. I imagine I will post later on a thread specif for the jeep, but in short I will either have to buy or build a new wiring harness for it. Still getting some small parts and detail parts for it to get it in authentic mode. However I have added a "Keyed" ignition since it will be driven off site and left in public unattended.



And the other modes of "Transport" we currently have as well.

T-28 Bravo

T-28 Alpha

C-45H (Army Version of Twin Beech 1

Fine looking M38a you have there. The wiring does get a bit crispy over the years doesn't it? I'm running into some wiring issues with my M35a2 as well. I may be doing a front and rear harness in the future myself. Keep at it! Love the planes by the way.

Clinto...I enjoyed watching videos on YouTube of the last GA rally and it was smokin!!!! What a fun time it must have been! Tons of green machines and families and good people. Jeez would I like to be there! I'm talking with an SS guy in south Jersey and we're planning to hook up for a drive. It would be so neat if me and Turbo could both head our Deuces down your way! Got to get a few minor things straight on Brutus and I'll be ready.

We're very happy with how it's grown. It's a big event now, with 100+ vehicles, the swap meet, etc. Not many events that feature offroading have those kind of stats.

Load your stuff up and come down! We've had several people bring deuces from that far away (NY, WI, MI, etc.). You won't regret it.
