    Dinger65 M38A1 Jeep

    Commander Warp is suffering from serious heat effects. He has forgotten more than I'll ever know and an inspiration to all who want to give life to the vehicles who served this country well. To have him as a friend is a true honor. I will get to the finish line and I know he will be there...

    Warp, if you need to grow up, I need to get out of the womb. :wink:

    New M101A2 in Pearland, TX

    Roger that. Don't waste money on an SF-97. TXDOT would not even look at mine and just registered it with the Bill of Sale.

    WC-51 Restoration or Bust!!

    Was able to weld in the corner patch on the passenger front corner. This was area was a disaster due to battery corrosion and rust. The toughest part was forming in the dimple on the side of the box. I am pleased with the result but still will require some body work. Also picked up the...

    WC-51 Restoration or Bust!!

    No Dwight. It weighs 5800 lbs and would be too heavy to haul 2400 miles and too slow to drive. But I will be there. ;)

    WC-51 Restoration or Bust!!

    Here are shots of the bed strips and the tailgate. I also rebuilt the original AC fuel pump and had it flow tested and then took the radiator in to be cleaned, tested and painted. Get it back tomorrow. Finally, I disassembled the 12V horn and cleaned and tested it and then blasted it and...

    WC-51 Restoration or Bust!!

    Continue to slug away at the rust on the cargo bed. Patched in the floor sections of the rear cargo box and the front battery box on the passenger side. Then I mounted the box and welded in the lower rear corner section of the passenger side. I have the lower front section of the passenger...

    It is because we are buddies that I was busting his chops in fun. I am sure Commander Warp knows I have nothing but the highest admiration for him and his work. Just a little jocularity. :):):)

    Commander Warp. I am in the shop today but not making enough progress to show pictures. My friend, you set a standard which is very hard to reach. But the goal is worth pursuing. :beer:

    Good job Commander. I am glad to see you are moving along a "Warp" speed. You make it seem so easy but experience tells me otherwise. 4 and 1/2 months and counting. :-D

    Troubleshooting Horn

    Installed the new solenoid from White Owl today and connected the 24V and then the ground and instant horn. Tried unplugging the wire at the steering column and still blowing. Ran an separate wire from the steering column lead to the solenoid and it works like a champ. Solenoid was indeed bad...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Installed APC spotlights and parking brake warning light. Ordered horn solenoid to replace defective one. :)

    Troubleshooting Horn

    Understand what you are saying. The reason I am curious is that if the power to the solenoid is constant and doesn't require the accessory switch to be on, which mine is, then why doesn't appear at the circuit breaker. I only show 24V at the C/B when the accessory switch is on. Anyway, George...
