Finally had some free time to play with the fuel system, upgraded to a spin-on fuel filter system as detailed in this thread from a while back. It was a lot easier than expected to install, only thing it's waiting on are a fresh set of batteries and getting the air out of the system, which will...

And now what I saved! - Lot of military manuals, maybe 12 of them, $20 for all - TV-8 tuning unit, complete but front panel needs a repaint, $5 - housing for TCS-12 radio, $1 (not shown) - aluminum medical transit chest, $25 (not shown) - WWII LS-3 loudspeaker, a little modded but I can fix...

Okay! Been a long time since I posted a new entry into my hamfest travels, I moved to a new location late last year and there are NO hamfests within a couple hours or so of my current base of operations, so this most recent trip was over 3 hours from me, but it's a bigger show and worth the...

Spent the morning removing the batteries for the fuel filter upgrade, vacuuming and cleaning out the top of the intake manifold and the space between the radiator and the grille that had accumulated a lot of squirrel nuts and bird nest junk from it's hibernation at my former location. Must've...

Just sent my $$$ in for our spots, working on getting the CUCV running again so we can make the drive up. Looking forward to the rally!

Finally got around to tearing into the M1009, I have to have it running better etc. before the Graves Mtn. rally on Labor Day weekend. Removed all the remaining radio racks and stuff from the back. They will be reinstalled over the wintertime once I get some other interior stuff done. I plan...

A last little bit of the B-29, for those there, the $5 inside guided tour was well worth the wait!

A few more ground vehicle pics, and then some photos of the B-29 !

Some more vehicle pics...

Really enjoyed the show, I drove 4 hours to get there and couldn't stay long (left the dog at home so we had to get back since peeing in the house isn't recommended), but I love the new location and the folks who go there. Friday morning and midday was very nice but rain came shortly after...

I plan on attending that Friday, not as a vendor, though. I love the new venue, and always look forward to seeing friends and attending the auction on Friday afternoon. See everyone there!

I don't sorry, I wasn't bidding on them myself. To be honest I can't even remember what base they were at. I just save pics and crap on my computer forever and ever. :)

I remember going to auctions in the late 1990s when you still had to be there and raise a paddle, they were selling a few HMMWVs then, but they were basically carcasses, scrap metal. Results of failed parachute drops or range targets. Once in a while a whole body would come out by itself, but...

Now that I'm closer to NC than MD, I might have to attend this rally and forego my usual haunt of Aberdeen/Hagerstown. I've heard good things about Denton...

HEY! I don't appreciate that BS! That fireball was only 200 feet high, 300 tops. :)

Debating a quick restore on my M332 trailer that I purchased from Scrounger before he passed. After a couple years trying to sell it as-is, the only people who have shown interest in it in the condition it's in are landscapers (who will be hating life after they realize it's too heavy for its...

I'll be the first to say that a little so-called "white noise" actually puts me to sleep, but I think this is a little too much. You'd wake up fully refreshed...but you'd be deaf.

Thanks, all, for the info. For the life of me I couldn't remember what those rivnuts were called! I am torn between removing the ones in place and putting new ones in the same location, or just drilling new holes slightly offset from the original location and putting new rivnuts there.

So I have completed my move to the new location, and getting set up for the next MV project which is refurbishing the CUCV 1009 I got from Scrounger's estate. A noticed several of the fittings where the antenna mounting brackets go into the side body sheet metal are either seized up (can't...
