HHHMMM, I'm wondering what the procedure would be if a swimming water moccasin sloshes through the open windshield.

What they said plus my gasser (avatar) does not like to start after it has been run and warmed up. Almost like vapor lock. On really hot days you may get to enjoy another cold drink so she has time to cool out a bit before you get to go. But, this is with out a doubt, the sweetest sounding...

The O.P. has something fun and unique in this "tank". The kids will love it- that's the most important thing- they are only kids once. Gotta seize the moment. I wondered about the color and sure enough it appears there is a Breast cancer connection. And I too respect your decision to save...

The Swoose!!! Seems I remember another angle to the story on that B-17--- The actress Swoosie Kurtz is named after the airplane- her Dad flew it during the war. Jim

Seems like I recall reading that they were painted OD green to help them to be harder for the enemy to see in the early years of the war but as the situation began to tip in our favor, it was deemed that the need to be "unseen" was not as important any longer. So they began to just leave them...

Ahab, yes we actually did use it to hang a Humming bird feeder. Dang thing came blue colored and the birds wanted nothing to do with it so I offered to paint it red. Hung it from the hook and spray canned it. It worked!! So we just left it on there. The birds were safe from the cats around...

Thank you Scott!Well, that is the long range plan but for now it is very handy for working on all the other projects around here that are ahead of it. LOL!! Have traded a neighbor out of some custom cut red fir lumber for the deck and side boards. A buddy that manufactures plasma cutting...

Well, yes--new wrecker owner here. Asleep at the switch as usual------. Got this little feller home in 2015. Starts, runs drives --in need of lots of TLC but loads of fun. Handy around the place and also doubles nicely as a Hummingbird feeder stand--- 1945 Ward LaFrance M1A1 Heavy...

HOLY CRAP! That's all we need is a freakin' roundabout for Aircraft! NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo............... Jim ( PVT/COMM/INST/SEL and some hours flying part 137 in a Pawnee and playing with my C-65 Continental 7AC Champ in Idaho's back Country.)

Hello, Welcome to the site from Salmon River Country! Congrats on the new ride and while I know NOTHING about the new fangled m1078's there are plenty of knowledgeable folks on here that will be able to help. This site is a great resource with great folks, oh yeah ---we gotta have pics! Jim

Yep, glad to help. Congrats on your "new" truck. Please post pics as the project continues. Jim

The short answer: Yes The long answer : Yes , but they are wider and barely clear. The steer axle tires can rub into the goodies on the axle in a (not even sharp) turn. I am going to experiment with spacers at the hub and see if I can gain enough clearance (safely) too see if it is doable...

The folks at Starpoint (www.militarytracks.com), specialize in putting new rubber on your old track pads. I drove out there in 2015 and met Greg and the crew--really good folks there and they know their stuff. They did a set for Steve Greenberg's Stuart tank. He seems to like the...

Thanks for all the replies! There was a listing in Boise for a set for a 880 down in Boise. I thought if they fit I would use them in my Chevy truck just for a cover,- but --Oh well!! At least that is not yet another project to worry with at this time. Thanks, Jim

Gentlemen, Would anyone on here know if The Dodge M880 troop seats/racks/Cover will fit on a Chevy CUCV? Thanks in advance, Jim

Here is a cell phone photo of a photo taken back in the mid 70's. This was taken at the north end of the McCall, Idaho airport. Air tanker was landing from north ,headed south over Dienhard Lane, which at the time ran straight. Out of concerns for safety, the city has since made the street...

Thanks for the Podington vid! At :55 it shows a Cletrac M2 Medium High Speed Tractor doing what they do best ----. May have been called out to use it's air compresser to help inflate lifting bags to get the B17 back on it's feet---then probably towed it to the hard stand. They were very...

Good reading there---- wonder how well it would fit on the nose of a new Waco? LOL!

A little teaser for you Matt, Jim

Depends totally on the existing surface as to the proper plan of attack. For example, the pic of the hinge shows what typically happens over the years and multiple paint jobs. Small, odd shaped pieces that are really hard to sand usually don't get prepped(sanded) well so they eventually...
