I'm no mechanic either so here's what may happen. The temps will go down to 0°F just before you're ready to do it. There will be snow or mud under the truck so you'll find a cracked piece of plywood that will leak and eat your tools. Just as you're on your knees sliding it under, you'll bring...

I searched "formation flying colored smoke" ....clicked 'images'....and ended up in Italy. http://www.italymagazine.com/featured-story/italys-frecce-tricolori-italian-daredevils-skies. There are a few more teams pushing color out the back so that was a fun and colorful hunt...

The first thing I saw was the 12 string, then the wheel skirts, then the beautiful blue paint-job. Great photograph. Playing guitar with the neighbors is always good. I don't have an Su-34 but I still have this rare model of the BM-13-16N WW11 Soviet Multiple Launch Rocket System. Made in the...

Unless a guy has a sample of the pieces you're replacing it'd be difficult to get a match without a scale drawing so you've got a tough challenge. Doing a search in 'Images' for the term "DUKW specs", nets a few pics but scale drawings are evading me. Here is a link to some visuals that might...

The trucking industry is complaining about distracted drivers and some big PSA's Public Service Announcements will be rolling out to the press in 2016. The big complaint is "unexpected driver action in expected conditions". The big trucks are typically slowing down long before they get to any...

Kamloops Past How is Kamloops this fine February? I was real close last fall so if I make it over the hill before summer, I could use a tour guide. I just grabbed these photo's of a 5 ton and now I'm wondering if this one had the same engine as the one you found. Wheeling around the back woods...

The second I saw your thread I pictured one of my deuces all camo'd up in hyacinth, hibiscus, bougainvillea...bright orange, red and yellow flower patterns. We'll put that on the bucket list for a future project.....and the flower thread. Welcome to Steel Soldiers..lol. These guys paint ships...

I'm just the part time help but we were working on that today and the grey gurus insisted they'd keep the throttle original. They mentioned that it was common to replace it with linkage,...... I know I heard a chuckle. We wrestled with a couple of the thumb size cylinders trying to remove them...

M20 Go Pedal Thank you, I'm glad you're still tracking the M20 thread motivator. Making time to hang around any museum has always been a great adventure for me so lets hope you get the chance and can grab more pictures. Then we'll pretend I didn't step on your thread. lol. Finding time to...

Here's a quick 2 second distraction that ruined the day for a few people. He looked down for 2 seconds. No gore, just a great rear camera shot of how fast it happens. The only thing more embarrassing would be leaning your crotch against a wet bathroom counter then walking around a large...

It's motivation like this that gets others off the vinyl chair and in the field. I'd like to sand the window frames for ya! Those mirrors match the ones I had on my 72' Chev. I wonder if they're chrome underneath? Can't believe how straight everything looks. Even that spot between the front...
