    the deuce is always a vicitim during a break up

    A lot of people don't understand that when the world starts closing in; going out and getting nose-to-nose with a mechanical project can actually be very theraputic.

    Sand ladders

    Looks like the modern version of PSP (perforated steel plate/plank) That's what all the runways in the Pacific were built with during WW2. Handy stuff to have a few sheets of for those outings in the wild.

    Nozzle tester

    Hello, Voice of Experience here, Handy to have but dangerous without a splash guard. For all you lucky enough to have one of these little jewels, DO NOT test injectors without proper protection. Up around the pressures where they operate; injectors will easily fire a load of fuel into yer...

    Always have a couple of blondes handy when you get stuck!

    Couple of blondes When the ladies get the HET dug out, maybe they could lend a hand here. We seem to have lost traction. Tried deflating the tires but they still just spin.

    what colors used in 3 color current camo scheme

    Don't know about Aervoe fading but we got a UFD ordering us not to use Aervoe for touch-up on current equipment. The Aervoe doesn't have the same non-photo reactive qualities and any touched-up areas stand out like a fish in a tree when viewed with night observation gear. This of course may not...

    Talked to my congressman...

    We'll never be free of the need for fossil fuels unless we can develop an engine that'll run on the hot air of politician's promises.

    Aerosol Spray Paint to match 3 color Camo

    Matching is always tough even with the same colors because of weathering and batch numbers being different. Aervoe also has a line of camo colors in spray cans. Not saying theirs is an exact match, just another source you can check out. Once you find the right shade, most bigger paint stores...

    Source for IP Guage Decals, or who is Rick Larsen?

    Rick Larsen is tooled up for the gauge decal sets. HOWEVER, Our own Polverone, www.megasticker.com can make anything you can give him artwork or at least a detailed idea for. He did my HEMTT pre-drive checklist stickers and they turned out awesome!

    Ever Seen a crew cab M35 on 16.00 20's and a B cummins??

    Very impressive TATRA. Just remember though what kind of a job it is to parallel park one, squeeze through the Mickey D drivethrough or find a carhop tall enough to hook the tray on your drivers-side window. I'm already starting to pay attention to height limit signs for the day the baby HEMTT...

    Project Baby Hemmt - FOR LEONARD

    Thanks Jim. I'm always wondering about how much room this stuff takes up and thought I should have put everything in one file in the Photo Gallery. Appreciate your help. I'm working on this in between real life duties and trying to make it go together without having to be assembled like a...
