    Scout camp with MKT

    Nice set up. Thanks for your work with the scouts. I am still involved with the scout troop that I joined when I turned 11, and I'm now 52 and my sons are 32 and 30 and have moved far away. It is not the same as when I was a kid, but it is still a great program. Last night I did some...

    Painting wheels-but not tires?

    I used the method shown above and the results were great. I did mine with a piece of trim coil (soffit and fascia material) about 8"x24". You can do it with the wheel mounted and get the lug nuts and Brake drums at the same time.

    SAE or Metric???

    I have worked on some quadraplexes near my home that were brought here pre-fabricated from Europe and the lumber was metric.

    SAE or Metric???

    6. I have seen some repro stuff (Newstar type things) that were metric. I like metric, but on a vehicle that's all SAE, very frustrating. Amen.

    SAE or Metric???

    I was really surprised to find that when I went to replace a wheel cylinder on my '73 m109a3 that it was metric. Others on the same truck were standard.

    Behr Paint Jobs- Show me your MV's

    There has been a lively discussion on here about the benefits and drawbacks of the different types of paint spray guns. Depending on your budget, I understand others have had good results using only the gravity feed inexpensive guns from Harbor Fleece. Personally I would try and locate either...

    Stacking trailers for travel

    Below is a picture of 2 M353's stacked by GL at Mac Dill. In retrospect the forklift the GL dude used was really too small (forks were only about 4 ft.) and it was probably not a good idea to attempt it but we made it happen and it saved us an extra trip. Could have used more tongue weight but...

    New guy govt liquidation buyer questions

    I got super lucky buying a deuce out of WR w/o a preview, but I live 300 miles away. At 75 miles away you should definitely preview and/or get a SS member to preview it for you. PM Mdmorgan or SETOYOTA to see if they can help you out. Buying one from a member has a lot of advantages that are...

    Yet another M38A1 in my sights

    I would check with a radiator shop as well. Those old ones are pretty heavy duty and are more repairable than the new Chinese cr@p.

    Yet another M38A1 in my sights

    My bad-I was thinking this-Pasties (sing. 'pastie'[citation needed] or 'pasty') are patches that cover a woman's nipples and areolae which are affixed with adhesive. Though pasties are commonly associated with burlesque and erotic entertainment, they are also at times worn as an undergarment and...

    Nice job on the car. And the truck. You do good work.

    Yet another M38A1 in my sights

    Must be an early one cause it looks like it has the thumbscrew battery lid. I'm not sure I want to ask this but in pic #2, WTH are "Gram's Pasties"? Looks like great find. Glad your dream is coming true.

    HF paint gun on sale now

    The advantage of a pressure pot is that gun position doesn't matter so you can spray sideways or upside down which can be important on the underside of the truck. With a gravity feed gun you have to hold it so the reservoir is up. Also they can hold 2 1/2 gallons or more, rather than the pint...

    Inspection needed at a Warner Robins afb ga

    You might try to pm Mdmorgan or SETOYOTA. Both have been helpful to me in the past. Deuces?

    HF paint gun on sale now

    I definitely wouldn't try to paint the underside with a gravity feed gun. Pressure pot or airless if you are shooting the house paint. This also doesn't look like a true HVLP. But then again its $15 bucks. This gun is similar to my gun I used to do the edges/tight fade on the camo on my...
