Here's the rest of the interior picts:

And here's some interior shots: I'll add some more interior shots later.

Once again, APOLOGIES to Austringer for the deviation on his thread. Here's picts of the Dragoon. We got it from the Littlefield auction last year. As with so many other vehicles from that auction, the description DID NOT match the actual condition of the vehicle. The Dragoon was/is NOT in...

DEATH OF BLUE BOX or DIE!!! BLUE BOX, DIE!!! DIE!!!! After letting Mek A Nek play with it for 2 weeks, and he was "SURE" he'd gotten it fixed with replacement of diodes and prayers to the Mek A Nek Gods, told him it was time to kill the blue box and go with the "Plan B". Got the alternator...

CUCVRUS.... wow..... yeah you got a lot. And once again, I can't thank you enough for the help with stuff you've given me. AHAB: It's a combination of things. 1st and foremost it's a labor of love. Have had my eyes on this unit since it came into the hands of a rural ems I worked/work with in...

Just came back from the Museum. For those of y'all getting stuff from me, remember to get your items from Carlos Manning (the man in black himself). He'll be set up INSIDE of the museum building. For those of y'all attending, I am jealous, from what I saw, it looks to be bigger and better...

Six Flags, Disney, yeah..... As a matter of fact they do. Just not for the Endangered Animals. However, All over South TX, Central TX(Hill Country) and to a smaller extent Northern TX, there are a huge number of ranches that have what we call "EXOTIC" Game. These are species of animals not...

Putting aside the everything is bigger in Texas,,,,, There are quite a few EXTREMELY Large ranches here, that trace their ownership back to original Spanish Land Grants, pre-Texas Revolution, and statehood. NO CONSPIRACY THEORISTS HERE PLEASE... THIS IS COMPLETELY LEGIT. Several of those...

Yeah........ I just wish I'd had a camera with me when I reported in at Ft Stewart. The expression on that 1st Sergeant's face would have made me a FORTUNE on America's funniest videos (or whatever) when he read my orders and then looked at me!!! And let's face it folks, 2 years of Beer and...

Here's a couple of teaser picts with Ric in one to give an idea of proportion. Don't want to steal another's thread. I'll do a thread on it in the future. Right now it's at Earl's getting the once over etc. Even though it's the most expensive of our vehicular toys, it's also the lowest...

EXPLANATION OF LAST SENTENCE from yesterday's post: Not ALL vehicles sent to Desert Shield/Storm got painted tan. Just like many that went to Iraq/Afghanistan. I got out in 1989. Was re-activated for Desert Shield/Storm (guys reading this on active duty....READ VERY CAREFULLY YOUR PAPERWORK...

Beacon light: Got the beacon light and the VHF High Band Antenna Mounted. Will come back to the antenna when I get to comms. The beacon is kinda tilted, but that's how the Military had it originally, so that's how I put it back. The beacon is amber (back to that in a minute) and is a ROTARY...

Once again, thanks for the kind words. I am merely stumbling along in the footsteps of many others here on SS who have gone before me, with excellent threads to reference. I wouldn't have started most of our projects if I hadn't had SS to study and get an idea of where to start. Got the AC...

And back to the roof Red Cross Panel: Got the panel off easier than I thought. Fortunately, whoever did the pop riveting, did so by removing the pop rivets that hold that one section of track in place, and then riveted through the Red Cross panel, and track. So after drilling and Dremeling...

CUCVRUS, responded to PM, will take the set: Here are picts of the clips I need to hold the Red Cross Panels in place. I need 8.

Noooo, No it's not my friend. And this one has been fairly "easy" as far as a "MV" resto projects go. But after talking to a buddy of mine, I realized it will be fairly easy to remove the rivets, back fill, and sand the holes in the roof. Not much I'll be able to do about the holes in the Red...

Egggzactly. Will be in touch.

B3,,, I know. Tried telling that to Cadillac Buddy, but he's behind me right now, giggling madly at the thought of what the service techs would say or do when confronted with a vehicle like the V-100/150 with the "Cadillac" name in any way associated with it.

I'll get ya some close up picts and a count of how many I need Monday. Won't be around it again till then. Am also looking for a complete set of the Lug Wrench, Jack, & Jack operating arm. Since I couldn't do anything with the Roof Panel, and I was up there anyway, got started on the AC Unit...
