Well, it seems that regularly driving Betty around and putting a couple of quarts of ATF in every load of fuel has cleaned up the fuel system pretty well. It was 31 degrees this morning and she fired right up. Previously, anything below 50 and she was difficult and much below 40 she just...

Michael was at it again today.

Finally it seems I have success with the wipers. They're both working and so far they've not thrown the blades or the arms. The old motor on the passenger side is still sticking occasionally, but its definitely doing better than before. I also got the horn button and horn wiring fixed. Only on...

For the last couple of weeks, I've been driving Betty around town at least a couple of times a week with no real problems. Most of the small leaks seem to have dried up. The coolant leak on the lower right corner of the radiator still seaps just enough to wet the surface but not enough to...

The last time we went out 140 to Roswell then down Peachtree Industrial to Clairmont. I did that to avoid the interstate. It took about an hour and fifteen minutes. Do you live near Trinity Church? I saw a deuce out there for sale a while back.

For those of you planning to come out to the 57th Fighter Group in March, let me know what you will be driving. I'm interested in how many and what type of MV's will be there. I need to let the manager know how much parking lot we need if we're going to park them all together. It may also...

Here's the plan: WHERE: 57th Fighter Group Restaurant 3829 Clairmont Road Atlanta, GA 30341 (770) 234-0057 www.the57threstaurant.com WHEN: 1000 March 11 , 2012 In the event of bad weather on the 11th, we'll bump it out one week: 1000 March 18, 2012 WHY: Breakfast/Brunch Meet and...

Hey Clinto! The parking brake is perfect. There's a bit of slope there where I parked so I was just being careful. I didn't want to ruin a great Sunday by letting Betty eat someone's Mercedes for breakfast.

You know, you can't really just go buy a bucket of Lego bricks like I got when I was a kid. These days you have to buy kits that are based on a theme, almost like building a model. He has all kinds of parts from the City Lego series, and there are military type kits with Jeeps, trucks, tanks...

Yep, my son builds all kinds of crazy stuff. He took a Lego engineering class last summer and he comes up with some interesting builds. Guns, cannons, trucks, ships, swamp buggies, rock crawlers. He had a huge mockup of Normandy built in his room with German and American forces positioned...

Nice job!

Yeah that shift pattern is crazy. Obviously its a German vehicle. I'm not at all familiar with it. I would have trouble with that one too. I have never encountered that shift pattern before, especially that first/ second shift!

Looks like my son is catching deuce fever from me!

The weather should be nicer in mid-March than in February. How does March 11 or 18 sound? If we can settle on one of those dates, I'll let the manager know what we have in mind. We need to develop a head count so post here if you're interested.

Never mind, I just read Jeep's edited post and that answered my question.

I tried changing up my cold start routine this morning. It was not cold, 48-50 degrees. I hit the starter for 3-4 seconds and let it sit for about 30 seconds. I hit the starter a second time expecting to get white fog and instead she started up. That's about 3 attempts sooner than usual at this...

My son and I took Big Betty from home near Canton, GA to The 57th Fighter Group Restaurant for breakfast this morning. It's only about 45 miles for us, but it was a pretty good trip. Betty did great with no problems except for the ongoing wiper problems. I'm hoping to work on that later today...

Thanks, Jeep! Its not cold this morning (50 degrees) but I'll definitely give that process a try.

It was pouring rain pretty much all day today. I loaded a bunch of trash and scrap from the on-going home flooring project into the Deuce and hauled it to the big roll-off at my warehouse. Good thing I had on my frog-togs, I think it was almost as wet inside the cab as it was outside! My...
