It will look great when you are done, but it didn't look bad from your photos, before you started.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
That's what's great about MV's, they got their appeal no matter what shape they're in.It will look great when you are done, but it didn't look bad from your photos, before you started.
That lesson was drummed into me too as a construction project manager; when you got a project with a hundred or more tradesmen going full tilt, the last thing you ever want to do is say "Stop!"It's been so hot here in Atlanta that I just haven't had the willpower to work on Murphy at all. That ends tonight. I'm doing something even if it's wrong! My Dad used to say that to me when I was a kid to get me moving during times of intransigence. Still works, too.
You're not the first, so I sure hope you don't let it get to you.I tore my engine down and took it to machine shop. Getting piston cylinders bored, and crank ground. Washed all my engine parts, put them on shelf. I then backed into shelf and knocked all my pistons onto ground, every head needs replacing now . Tomorrow i repair my steering wheel.
10-4 on that , Bravo2Uniform; it's the same with me. I will procrastinate and procrastinate and take on other easier projects, if there's a problem I got to deal with and I'm not sure how to tackle it.Got myself motivated and back on the project. I was really timid about having to bend or re-bend my own vacuum lines...so I procrastinated.
Got the vacuum lines 80% installed - waiting on an oil line so I can re-install fuel / vacuum pump and complete vacuum system.
Installed propeller shafts, too.
I'm looking at a late October or early November finish if I can keep up the pace. My goal is to drive my son to school in the M38A1 on his birthday - Friday, 21 OCT 16.
Gotta stay motivated!
Are we related?10-4 on that , Bravo2Uniform; it's the same with me. I will procrastinate and procrastinate and take on other easier projects, if there's a problem I got to deal with and I'm not sure how to tackle it.
Inevitably, once I get started it'll only be a small delay to getting up to speed and getting it done. But the thought of it will typically hold me up.
Goofy and silly of me, but I can tell you it always happens.![]()
What are you trying to say? That's a picture of my ex-wife!
Well, I had a 50 / 50 chance of getting them on correctly. I got lucky.Sorry, I take that back. I did not realize you are doing a M38A1
Ever need a photo reference we have two USMC M38a1 in pretty decent shape (original unrestored) that I can take photos for reference for you if needed.Well, I had a 50 / 50 chance of getting them on correctly. I got lucky.
