I sure found this out the hard way when I bought a couple of lots of brass on GL...

I dunno about a TANK tank, but I am interested in trying to import an armored car like a Ferret or a Fox. I wish he'd tried to import that T-72, just so I could hear some experience on getting it through customs here in the USA.

It's gonna take a fording kit with a really long snorkel to drive one home from Haiti... Should make for some interesting recovery threads in 2011-12.

Pictures please?

Cool. I'll call off Knuckles and Tony.

that's what's known as a field expedient repair.

I have a canvas cargo cover. It isn't in the best of shape, tho. It was free, tho, so I can't complain. New canvas cab covers are $300. Like I said, it's hard to justify shelling out twice the price for a canvas that will last 1/4 as long as a vinyl.

Looks that way to me. I know a few people who live about an hour from a certain person's town.

please oh please oh please oh please oh please...

I bought some wally world Krylon fusion for plastic in their OD green Camo line. some brown too. Painted a strip of each color on either side of the top. I will drive around with it like that for a couple of weeks and see how it holds up. If it doesn't crack or flake, I will paint the whole...

Are you sure it's not the U channel on your truck that's too big? I would think these vinyl tops are all from the same mfger. Mine were too narrow. I had to open them up by hammering a piece of steel rod all the way through the channel. Even so, it was not exactly easy to install the top.

Yep, the older hard plastic ones are all like that, I think. I've got a couple exactly like that. I'm in the same boat. I need to completely restitch all three front pieces back onto the vinyl.

Where is it "broken?" There are actually 3 front plastic pieces. One long one in the middle and two short ones on either side.

Sure does. Those look really good. Hm. I'm convinced. I'll go with the 383 vinyl top and if I don't like it I'll take it off and replace it with the tan top and paint it.

That looks good, but it doesn't look dark enough to be the OD semi gloss. Maybe it's just the lighting. What I'm talking about is the vietnam era dark OD green. 24087 is the number for it at Rapco, I believe. Whatever it is tho, I like it. Could you take a closer picture of the cab and cab...

looks nice! But hm. Doesn't look quite right. I wonder how close I could get it to the OD canvas color with paint?

How's the exterior? Toss it down your driveway, yet?:roll:

I want to see what it looks like. Eventually, I would like to return my 383 green with tan and grey camo back to it's original vietnam-era OD semi-gloss. However, I'm not interested in going for canvas tops. I'm not interested in shelling out so much money for something that's just going to...

wait... you can give the M35A2 true power steering?!? How is this DONE? My arms need to know.

I didn't think to test anything at the time. I just wanted to install it and get it done. And I'm fresh out of time traveling Deloreans.
