100A cable? Won't welding cable work sufficiently for that? You can buy it by the foot from a tractor supply store or some big box stores.

I recommend you get the adhesive grip tape made for wet surfaces from Home Depot or Lowe's, etc. It will hold up much better than what you can get dissolved in the paint. You can just get the black stuff and then paint over it with a brush that is lightly saturated with paint. That's the kind of...

CARC is a paint technology. A lot of us are using '383 green', but it is technically 34094. Scan through this and you will see some useful color coding info and reflectivity, etc. for fabrics standards. For posterity: Federal Standard 595B Numbering System Five Digit Number (ex: 595B 30494)...

Great comments from everyone and I agree with all of you. Anyone care to comment where Gillespie paint falls compared to Behr vs. CARC? BTW, sharp looking trucks. :-)

Well, I am sure I didn't wait long enough for the full performance of the Behr stuff. No doubt on that. I now recall several such stories about it's performance after a period of time. I wonder how the oblique reflectivity is after a month. Have you had military CARC to compare against? I...

Yeah, funny thing is, the MSDS on Gillespie shows their CARC paint has talc in it.

I thought I would add my own input for the Behr Acrylic Latex paint. I know my post count is single digit on here, but I own and operate a tier 1 painting facility for auto. I have been in paint since I was 14 and can colour match better than paint factories. Likewise, I have been doing...

Yeah, one of my businesses buys 99% IPA by the 55 gallon drum. I wouldn't stick it in an engine, though. It makes a great source to clean out parts. For example, I have a '77 280Z with RB25DET in it and I used a massive Jaguar V12 oil cooler for the project. I hooked up lines to the old oil...

I will get some of that too. It's hovering over my sister's camper. I am trying to get her to move it so I can use the dock where I will pull the box off at.

Hey, guys. Chevracer87, you actually spoke to my buddy with the M109A3. I have been trying and trying to get registered for SS and it kept denying me; saying I was a spammer or something. Eventually I remembered I had already registered but it would not let me post. A message to an admin later...

Hello, Just wanted to introduce myself. Along with my Dad, I am the proud owner of a '71 M109A2 (or actually an M185A2). We got it from GL out of NJ and had it transported back to us. Overall, I have been doing some shakedown stuff while we wait on registration to finish up along with the help...
