    I would wait on a specific vehicle especially since it is not going to be leaving right away. As for a machine gun, forget it entirely. You cannot import a deactivated gun or even the barrel. And a dummy is not worth the potential hazard, especially on a Ferret with an m1918 where there are tons...

    Travails of moving Armor #2... Leopard 1 and Swiss Pz61 are home! WARNING LONG!

    A tarp flapping in the wind at 70+mph will beat the crap out of anything. Paint on a tank is not anything special.

    Mortar investments?

    For first time armor, you just can't beat a Ferret. Size, parts, driving, cost, availability, its a great place to start. While the turret of the 2/3 it cool and the most plentiful, consider a 1/2. Room for three, and you can mount a .50. Before buying, get a User's Manual and study up. They are...

    You might get better results by placed in the want ads. Also a bit more title info.

    So after 6 years of saving up I bought a BRDM2...

    Nothing wrong with chain drive. Ever looked in a transfer case?

    Looks Interesting Stealth Bike

    Batteries have to come a long way before it is really practical for military use.

    Help needed with AM-1780B (VIC-1)

    Steve is indeed a great source. You can also find him on eBay as ciasteve.

    Tank, M1A2 / M1A2SEP Abrams NSN: 2350-01-328-5964

    This is the same problem as with submarines. If we give up the ability to built, it is very time-consuming, difficult, and expensive to ever get it back.

    Need help with 361 M75

    NDT is correct in that you need more fuel, ether alone will not do it. However, the M75 does not run in reverse. What he is probably recalling is the cam runs reverse to the civy models because it is gear-driven, not chain driven.

    SR71 Blackbird

    Here's the list of SR-71s and A-12s on public display. There are a few others not on the list as they are not in public places. http://www.sr-71.org/blackbird/locations.php

    WTK: V100 Transfer Case value

    That indeed looks like it could work. At least there is a decent amount of room to work with and rearranging mounting brackets would be easy. Gerald, I will keep you in mind.

    M151A2 gun truck build

    Austin has M142 mounts for $275.00. That's a pretty good price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Used-M142-M60-Cradle-for-Vehicle-or-Pedestal-Mount-M151-Jeep-UFIX-/201228806099?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eda2be7d3

    WTK: V100 Transfer Case value

    The last one I bought was 8 years ago. I had to track it down in Jamaica and it ended up costing us $15k with shipping. I have not heard of another since. I would have to value one at $25k or more. It would cost more than that to have one build.

    Not DOT legal for US streets; too wide. 8'6" is the limit.

    V100 Carb / Manifold Combo

    The factory air horn may or may not be too restrictive to the setup. We never bothered with the factory air horn. You are going from a stock 350 cfm setup to a 600 cfm and it could effect the carb tuning. Or not at all. Generally with the V-100, the improvements gained with this setup and an...

    V100 Carb / Manifold Combo

    Stock manifold will not work. Boat anchor POS. The carb will not interfere with the radiator. Just use a low profile top hat filter, I think 10". fits great.

    V100 Carb / Manifold Combo

    1406 Edelbrock carb with Edelbrock or stock Mopar manifold. Work awesome right out of the box. No tuning needed. Anything else is pretty much a waste of time and money. We have picked up the manifolds for $25.00.

    How to make HMMWV street legal.

    Fact is this all varies from state to state. Check with any hot rod guys in your state and they can tell you how to legally title almost anything. Might not be easy or cheap, but it would be legal. I've been into off-road motorcycles for 30 years. Sold as off-road only, they can be legally made...
