She is THRILLED!!!! Jeannie might be home in time for her to be in the July 4th Parade. If not, we will definitely have her home in time for the Veterans Parade. :-)

Front cap installed. More than a dozen fasteners aligned and tightened. Skid plate on. Front end wired and headlights working. Well, one bulb was bad and had to be replaced. The horn works. :clinto:

I like this smiley. I don't get the chance to use it very often, so here goes!! :derailed: To get it back on topic: I run my M1009 at 60-65 MPH. Yes, I know it can go faster. Driving any faster than that empties the fuel tank at an alarming rate. CUCVs are as aerodynamic as cement blocks. On...

As always, you come up with the most ingenious solutions to your problems! :-)

I have plenty of room for OD Iron!!!! :-)

Thanks for the offer, but I worked hard on the garage today and freed up a bunch of room. I'm getting closer to having the 11' that I need to park her next to my Model A. The Mite is 9' x 5' but I need a little extra space to move around her. :-)

I talked to Doc last night. He's in the home stretch. He's buying fuel today. He has to test the fuel system to make sure there are no leaks. After that, he will put the front clip back on. Doc appreciates your compliments, and is thankful that you're following this thread. I am as well. Mites...

Doc installed the gas tank today. New filler hose and breather hose at the cap and the tank. Not much room on either end. Tail lights in and brake lightson in photo. Wiring complete. :-)

WOW! Great price on the alternator, Steve!!! :-) Does that mean you can make it to the parade?

The good news: Doc will have her done in less than 6 weeks!!!!! :jumpin::jumpin::clinto: The bad news: I haven't turned a single wrench on her since last July. :-( Other news: I have a very short amount of time to clean out the garage to make room for her return.

Welcome to the OD Iron Addiction. I hope you know that MVs get very lonely. Sooner than you realize, you'll discover another green machine occupying space in your driveway. Make sure the next one is for your wife so she has claim to her own. (I learned this one early on in my addiction...

The gas cap neck was loose, hardware frozen and rusted. Doc had to grind the heads off the screws because he couldn't get to the bottom. New screws and some paint. Reinstall 30 pound antenna bracket with 12bolts.

Please join me for the Sanford Memorial Day Parade and lunch at Riverwalk Pizzeria on Monday, May 29 at 10 AM.The parade staging area is on 1st Street, from Sanford Avenue to Pine Avenue. Due to street closures, I suggest entering the staging area from HWY 17-92 and head east on 3rd Street (at...

Welcome to the Green Iron Laughing Academy!!!! :clinto::naner::mrgreen::jumpin::jumpin::jumpin: Check out my friend Quadjeeper's build: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?129292-Survival-109-build It might impress the heck out of you and inspire you to pick up a M109Ax and start...

I talked to Doc yesterday. He is about two months away from completing everything, including all test drives and trials. He has all of the electrical re-wiring complete. He'll install the passenger side tail light when he gets it. He has to adjust the fuel float and mount the fuel tank. After he...

All the hardware on the tank now. A ground wire will go on the sender unit to make sure of a good ground connection.

Doc likes new things. It always helps to have a float on a sender unit.

Doc used old inner tube for the anti squeak liner. 2 straps with liner glued. One trimmed out.

I have no idea where to find a Mite engine. Have you talked to Daryl Bensinger? He's the one I go to when I need Mite parts. Read Post #14 of this thread. I think Jeepsinker is still willing to part with his M422A1. You might be able to work something out with him.

It's a steel line. He will mount the tank when he gets the new screen, sending unit, and hoses. Yesterday he hand cut carburetor gaskets out of gasket material sheets. He does not want that sucker to leak.
