Cold Lake Airshow Crash We all had a great loss today with the crash of Calgary's T-28 Trojan and the death of Bruce Evans. The Trojan was at the Cold Lake airshow this weekend and crashed at 1400hrs when the Trojan failed to pull out of a maneuver...

Waxing or wanning Looks like the stuff I'd dig out of my kids ears! I found a little in the carb I tore down but nothing like that. What did surprise me was the durability of the inside of some of the tanks I've opened. This is the inside of the tank on the partially burned truck and it gives...

Must be July, Goose took a bath. .....and some random history.

G749 Preservation, restoration and maintenance We're pleading the 5th on the hard-top still. They'll do a test fit and see what might work best. It still needs a few more beatings until the moral improves. The rubber came from a local supplier so we can check that business card to see if...

Usually I'd say you'd need to lay-out some more information but I searched 0A331 and found a REO engine. Is that right? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:REO_OA331_engine.jpg In the source line I found a link to the TM number...

Did some measurements for the plowshare kids today then decided to check the dataplate because I was sure it had the width on there. Might be hard to see in the pick but they claim the front axle...FA, to the outside of the rubber is 82 1/2''. The rear axle RA is 78". Trying to fit power...

White Scout I had the pleasure to escort this Scout to the Vimy Memorial a few years ago. There is nothing like having WW11 armour among the displays so we wish you all the best to get that unit rolling again. This one is the 1943 M3A1 with the 5th Canadian Armoured Division, 1st Canadian Corps...

G749 Restoration Out of a scene from Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the glowing ambiance of an active garage is pushing Goat hard to the finish line. We'll get some before and after shots up in the next month but the pieces are coming together. This week was the 50 hour hood. They...

Personell Protection Equipment With our current influx of new, distracted drivers, I should be wearing a helmet.

That's what happens when Another Ahab shows me how to copy/paste a picture into photoshop. Took me 10 minutes to copy/paste parts of the truck into the pic. Fixed the roof!

I found it....page 318. It holds a clamp/rubber/grommet/thingy that the wires run through. It's not a ground. I also used my new skill to draw some arrows. You mean these gaps? Hope the picture gets bigger after I hit Submit....if not...move closer. We certainly have something going on with...

I stayed up late and got mine done.

I went to a self leveling bar once. I had a good wingman so I made it home ok. I've also been studying rear ends and the word trunnion keeps popping up. Have you finalized what you're using for suspension? Started looking at Monster trucks and the 4 link or multi-link set-ups that allow a ton...

9 seconds to rollover. This incident starts at 53 seconds when the intelligent young chap takes his eyes off the road. 9 seconds later it's already too late to fix the drift over the edge of the pavement. 9 seconds to dead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-MKsXS--yA

Thanks for the kind words. I'm going to follow that up for you. It looks like the same train on this page out of the Alberta Rail Museum but I'll ask my CN contact. http://www.albertarailwaymuseum.com/special-interest-equipment.html I might get a chance to beat a few soldier's feet out of that...

M35 find Facebook Schpeculation says it could possibly be, without any definitive proof, an Eastern Canadian truck. I've had mine in the trails a wee bit and it was more like two hours at the Gym. I could see how a shorter truck would be fun so I'm glad there are guys with mad skills doing it...

Don't get any water on the G749. They tend to shrink! We can't exactly blame the bobber gurus for the difficult to find G749. Not many of these around. Is it because they just don't look right?

It was real sweet having my little niece the nurse text me this link tonight of the B-52 on a low/fast pass....enjoy. http://worldwarwings.com/this-b-52-fast-and-low-will-send-chills-down-your-spine?a=mk&var=ww2=b52-buzzzz

How many deuces can you park in front of a pink house? 2 Found a source in Illinois for the Redhorse Performance fuel filters. I suggested an $8.00 clear filter but was reminded that it's a brand new fuel tank and motor so nothing but the best for Goat...
