    trip to Colemans Surplus 11/20/12

    Well, nice day as always, I like going there when it's colder, easier to snag things when you don't have to worry about snakes, bees, and heat stroke. Here's some pics of the stuff I saw in the yard, I'm going to have to snag some of the wooden boxes in pic 9 - they make excellent storage...

    ID this paint scheme please

    Yeah, that's the A-Team camouflage pattern. Black with a bright red stripe. Is reality, that's not military at all. Probably came from a police department or fire department that used the same paint job on all their trucks.

    2013 Haspin Discussion Thread

    I'm in for the middle of the month. To be honest, I'm in whenever it is. I'm looking forward to making Haspin this year after two years off from making the big trip to Indiana!

    How / what to inspect before buying half track project

    That's a decent base to start from. If you're on the fence, I would do this: Buy the half-track, get it home. Then take a torch and cut off the crane, and any other junk which doesn't belong on it. Scrap that out to get some $$$ back out of it. Then, you have the remainder, which is all...

    I hate november

    It could be worse - I get seasonal depression, starting around late October, lasting through early February. With all the problems I have at this time (debt, low income, etc.) this year is REALLY bad. And to make matters worse, I have NO MVs to work on. I envy you in your position, having an...

    1950s/60s side racks for M101 and M105 trailers

For these trailers in this era, I have seen them restored with the side rack wood unpainted, finished with stain and polyurethane, and painted 24087 along with the body of the...
