Cleanup continues. Didn't take pics, but that green paint pen someone marked these hoods with comes off with lacquer thinner.

I'm going to experiment this weekend with a sand slurry mixture to see if I can bring the original color back even more. I'll post progress as I go.

That's the fun part of the puzzle isn't it. These things are full of holes, big and small. I haven't done it yet, I'm just trying to get the basic build together and then fill in as I go.

Yep, they bounce. The only suspension in the rear is that which is provided by the level of tire inflation. Kind of like riding an old school "hard tail" chopper back in the day.

Cleaned and painted the new turret support and tubes. Roof removal next.

Ok. More cleanup. The mess left by the sun parched hook and loop tape comes off with a little elbow grease and a rubber pinstripe removing wheel. Amazon, like $6. It still leaves a cleaned area that is a bit darker than the faded carc.

I can answer that now. It is to avoid any possible or even the appearance of collusion.

Mules, even just the date? Dang, sorry about that. Yep • Do NOT post about future or current GL/GP(GovPlanet)/GSA/eBay (including items for sale in buy-it-now formats)/local/city/state/Federal/estate auctions. You may post about any auction after the auction is closed.

My intelligence says next auction is slated for..... removed by Mod, future auction talk is a nogo!

Kinda reminded me of the Frankestein cabs. There was no one around to ask questions of.

Power washing today and man what a clean machine under all that dirt and algae. Except for the tape residue of all that hook and loop tape. Gotta figure out what will take that off short of a grinder.

Batteries are taking a charge and the only other issue was a leaking return line. I'm a happy man.

I took a good hard look at the roof situation and determined that the remaining components more than adequatly held the roof in place. The other fellows I talked to who picked up today had the same opinion. 2 hour drive home and no issues whatsoever. The roof never budged.

Ok, things could not have gone any smoother this morning. GL guy Mike was there and had my truck all lined up for loadout. Jumped me with a slave truck and up on the trailer I went. That's my bud Jessie standing there supervising the loadout. Really appreciated his help and insight today.

That's a definite possibility and probably the best option.

Ok, I understand the question now. There was no hard and fast, "get it in 10 days or else we'll start charging storage" thing. I think that would be pretty ballsy in light of the cluster**** getting to this point.

The time to pick up was 11, set by me. The lot boss there is really cool and there was nothing hard set or "must be this or that". The roof will definitely need to be braced. A buddy is making arrangements to get his at the same time and we are bringing tools, 2x4's, straps, zip ties, duct tape...

Pick up appointment is next Friday. The lot boss said he's got slave cables, so should be easy. I'll post pics.

They just sent me copies of the DLA approvals and releases.
