    S250 shelter vents

    I did a couple of searches with no luck. Does anyone have a lead on the exhaust vents for an S250/g communications shelter? I would prefer not to use dryer vents in my repair. Thanx Tony

    Gama gama hey!

In the most recent MVPA magazine, Steve Preston, mentions...

    Did this steel soldier get saved or go to the SCRAPPER!

    This box was on GSA near Burns Oregon. I wanted it to replace parts on my SEORTL. Bur someone wanted it way more than I did. If you got it and want to part it let me know, my box was cannibalized by the RFD that turned it into a command center.

    Bobbed DUKW

    Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this, but I think that if it were posted in the WWII CCKW section there might be an even bigger purist blasphemous outcry. So has anyone ever thought about bobbing a DUKW and putting it up on 395's? Then to go a step further put an 80's 350 Chevy, with...

    So I am getting ready to get the Gull Wing fixed up for parade / rally season. I was thinking about the exterior appearance and I could use some input on the paint and windows.
