    Project Wild Weasel M1009

    I was getting the fuel tank ready to reinstall and used some OD Green nylon strapping as my isolator. I think it holds up better than tat paper and looks good. I used adhesive to hold it down to the tank and the metal straps. I see no problems. I removed the tank and it was wrapped in tar paper...

    I had the pressure washer out the past 2 hours. I am going in and changing my clothing for some painting. I have clothing I wear for painting that don’t matter while I am wearing them. I hope everyone has a pair of clothing like that. Good Luck and Have Fun.

    Blown Head Gasket Recovery (no longer) - Massive Engine Failure (!)

    Balance is my main concern when mixing power plants in vehicles. I had a 1974 Dodge W200 with a 318. I bought a wrecked 1979 Dodge St Regis at the PA State Police auction. The wrecked car had a 360 with 23K on it and ran and drove. It was wrecked hard on the right side. It stole the car at the...

    Some things are best left to professionals. I have more on my plate than 2 people should have. I have several tool boxes full of tools and one of them is my wallet. I use what ever tool does the job correctly and others I hire out. $ is often wisely spent and eliminates ? In many cases. There...

    I spent the last 3 hours pressure washing until I am soaked and the M1009 is about as clean as I can get it with a pressure washer. I have seen better M1009”s but this one is a lot better then most I seen . I will apply some Rus fre coating on the underside or some water based coating. More than...

    Oh yea I see the light switch nut and the horn inner contact ring. Still not fooled because you laid it out on OD green canvas. Born at night but not last night. And did you say 5 gallon fuel tank on the Honda. Not seeing that.

    But looking back that washer is over 25 years old. So in all fairness I will get it fixed or V replaced. It is a Beco and they build them 35 miles from my home. So I will take a trip after work sometime and check into it.

    That’s a dimmer switch, headlamp switch, and the knob and switch handle for BBC a 1984 CUCV. You can’t fool me.

    Project Wild Weasel M1009

    I violated one of my own major rules. Never let anyone use your equipment. NEVER. I went to use the pressure washer after waiting for a week to get it back. It was dropped off when I was mowing and today I went to use it and you know. It is not a cheapo store bought model. I guess that is why...
