    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Sanded. And painted. And and sanded and painted, and sanded and painted. Racing the rain. In the driveway. On a hill where the breeze is always uphill. Did you know that 25 - 30 mph gusts can consume an extra can of spray paint in less than an hour? Steve

    Exterior Latex/Acrylic House Paints

    I can provide one matched to Gillespie that you might like if you can use Benjamin Moore. Arvoe is much darker. Would that help? I've heard that BM is an eastern brand. Steve

    Pintle Hitch for M101A3

    I have a Reese 12 1/2" riser with a pintle bolted on for my E-350. Some are noted for only 'drop'. Mine is labeled for 'drop' or 'rise'. Worth checking for legalities and insurance. You're probably a tad shorter than the E-350 so the height should be to your advantage. Here are some...

    New Guy with M35A2C?

    Be careful with abrasives because mine was so shallow I came dangerously close to sanding it out with 320 paper. I could have easily sanded it off if I didn't catch what was happening immediately I ended up using graffiti remover and a rag to get it. I'd use that or paint remover knowing what I...

    New Guy with M35A2C?

    "...I was told by the Tag Office, the only way to get a title for this truck is to file a Declaratory Judgement in small claims court and get a court ordered title...." I'd look into what's involved to do that, get my required proofs in order, and give it a try. Might be less aggravation...

    You can see the half track rig if you look at the video in the ride around the fairgrounds link in my earlier message. There's a fair glimpse of the whole display area. Steve

    Doyle Presentation I was unable to attend more than about the 1st 25 minutes . That made it the one thing that I didn't count as a win for the show. Hope that he'll be doing it again and that I can catch the whole thing. He was putting out some really interesting stuff.

    Gilbert PA Military Vehicle Rally Sept 21-24th, 2006

    Big success for me 'cause I didn't spend any money. I've gone through plenty in the last couple of months. Nothin' I needed - except the Jeep for sale and that CCKW . . . . . I vote for name tags or signs on Easy Ups or somethin'. You get very strange looks at the checkin table when you tell...

    I'll be getting there tomorrow a.m. I hope to meet some of the people whose names I've learned from the site.

    Painting a M101 trailer

    A quart is going to cost about 40% of a gallon, so if you're going to do more than 1 trailer or more than 1 coat, the gallon is the best deal. PM, email or give me a call if you'd like formulas for Benjamin Moore in an extremely close Desert Tan, almost perfect 'Dark/aged 383' (like on the bows...
