Sorry, wildchild, but noone wants to see your dad in skimpy clothing. LOL If noone has a spare chainsaw with them, I'll bring one along, I have a choice of Stihl 20, 25, or 36-inch saws available from the family farm, though I don't think we'll need the big boys for the trees up there...

Great dk8019! Glad to hear you can help out! If you have any questions about the event and times, parking, what to bring/wear, etc. Please feel free to PM me, I can answer your questions or pass you on to the event organizer.

Wow, not even a reply? Noone interested at all? I guess noone on this site really enjoys working on large military vehicles anymore... :(

And now you know why lots of us would rather buy a sandblaster and be done with it, than buy a single piece of sandpaper. :)

You can come, but only if you bring a rent-a-model as a sales associate! We could use some eye-candy in the campsite! :)

Okay it's that time again, the yearly work weekend for the USS Torsk WWII submarine museum in Baltimore, MD is coming up, October 4-6 (Friday thru Sunday). We are looking for anyone who would like to volunteer a little of their time and effort into getting the boat restored and maintained as it...

A few more.

Only could show up Saturday due to work commitments - when work comes up I have to take it so my play time got cut short. This was the first year I took my daughter to the rally - she wasn't thrilled before the event, but she said she had a GREAT TIME after! She really enjoyed trail riding...

There is no source for new or NOS wiring harnesses specifically for the M104 trailer. Best bet is to use a M105 harness and modify it.

I really wish we could bring our own fire ring (i.e. tractor rim). Those dinky 14-inch car rim fire rings they have there you can barely get a couple pieces of wood in. I miss campfires made out of stacks of pallets. :)

Excellent work so far, GNE, keep it coming together piece by piece and you'll be done in no time!

All the ones I have ever seen were brass, and I'm sure after a couple days in the field they rather quickly started tarnishing after being out in the weather, so you didn't have to worry about the enemy seeing the sunlight glint off your fire extinguisher. However, I'm also sure that since GIs...

At this point, can't make it on Friday, have to work. Will be arriving early Saturday morning and stay through the evening hours. But it will be good to see everyone again, hopefully some new faces are there too...

A Gama Goat powered by a Corvair engine? Wow, didn't think you could make a Goat any more undesirable, but life surprises me sometimes. Very interesting pictures. I like the look of the prototype better than the production one.

Yes we have. First RC rally in fall 2007 formernewMVguy lost his brakes due to a failed wheel cylinder. Took a small welder to get him back up and...um...stopping.

Will be there Friday around noon, stay until late Saturday night or Sunday morning, as usual. No vehicle as of yet, still broke as ****. But can bring some firewood and maybe a boombox with some tunes.

Okay, time to set the date: The official dates for the rally will be October 25-27th, 2013. Shenkmen will start a new thread with general info on the rally.

There are two sides of the road to RC. The normal side was locked off for the race last Spring. It's the side we're used to and know every route. So, the other side was the only side we could use, and it's still pretty new, lots of trails but almost no signage telling you where you were, the...

I think shenkmen would be better to contact them, he has talked to the RC folks before and has a "relationship" with them and knows who to talk to. HOWEVER, I'm not sure if coordinating with them will matter much. Last Spring, we found a weekend that worked better for them all around, nothing...

Apparently, there were road tires made in that weird 18-inch wheel size. The DUKWs used 11.00x18 NDTs in WWII, but that 8.75x18 is kinda weird. Might have to upgrade to 20-inch rims in order to use more common tires.
