There were a bunch in southern Mississippi on the side of a highway a number of years ago. They wound up scrapped.

The Columbia, SC group has all made it to home base, but my black Plano box with my rally tee shirts, a pillow, and my dirty clothes didn't. We think it may have been put in the M105 trailer that all the tents, tables and chairs were stored in.

Tell him to cheer up, we will be on our way in the morning. And I located a source of head gaskets that are much less expensive than Memphis Equ. is quoting. Peck is packing all the tools he thinks we might need.

Has DT brought out the wash stations yet? We left seven of them there last year with the proviso that they could use them the other 51 weeks of the year but all would be available for us when we came. If there are they stocked with soap and towels?

I'll bring a VOM or two.

Live .50's are going to set you back about $40K and up each. Simulator's run a good bit less. Aluminum 'dummy' Ma Deuces can be had for under $2k. What is your budget?

Directly behind the driver will not cut down on visibility, on the passenger side, yes. Adding convex mirrors on both sides (and learning how to use them) would solve that problem. Carry on!

Pop rivets spaced about 1.5 inches apart seem to work. Did mine that way about four years ago and they are still holding just fine. If the plastic is too brittle, you can get a piece of vinyl siding with a lip on it and use that in place of the plastic. Rattle can paint will cover the pop...

Will look in the red CONEX tomorrow. Edit. Found a pair of head gaskets in the Red CONEX. Now in the shop van/pantry for transport to the rally. There's so much of 'Bella' that has been borrowed from me that I ought to be listed as a partial owner!

Will look through my pile to see if I have a head gasket. Peck will look too!

The Wellmans are known to swell up and then break off when trying to remove them. If you are very lucky, you will be able to remove 'most' of the pieces with the injector out, otherwise removing the head will be necessary. How often do you want to remove one or both heads? AC Delco's last...

B8, where we set up the MKT has been the only 50 amp powered site. Unless something has been added all the other ones are 30 amp.

I-77 ends in Columbia, SC, to go further south you need to switch onto I-20 West if you are heading for the CAMO compound. You know that, but others are not as far-sighted, or will otherwise get confused when they read this thread in 20 years.

Pete, I'm interested in Bottom half of hardtop for deuce or 800 series, good glass - $50

Got the 2015 Rally Meal tickets printed today, cut them out and serial numbered each one. Tuesday it's top off the cash box and finish purchasing the non-perishables. Then make up the shopping list for the perishable items. Tuesday evening, take the shop van/pantry to the club compound for...

Found yet another towbar to bring. It's NOT a medium! About five feet long, not adjustable, holes for the pins to connect the feet are a measured 1.660 inches in diameter, so the correct pins would be 1 5/8" dia. Weighs 110-115 pounds. $100 or best reasonable offer. Had a troop that has...

Looks like we'll be bringing at least one, and probably two medium towbars with feet and pins (one has both one inch and 3/4 inch feet/pins) tires, the parts boxes like last year, cables, etc. Whatever we can cram into a deuce that will be parked with the vendors. John Peck (came with me last...

Red Cross, or your local (statewide) church association disaster relief fund. I had nothing more than a four hour power outage Sunday afternoon cause by a tree falling on the power line. Adam had some flooding around his place for a few hours and the approaches on both sides of a bridge washed...

Probably made the mud a little deeper. Most of the rain did not happen in the AO (Area of Operation), so it's quite possible there will be dust churned up by the vehicles when you get there.

But the people who have to drive them, as well as the general public that might like to see them, have a different perspective.
