finally

[Manstein]

Well, it finally all came together and the Moose and a 1/2 is home! We drove thru the night and got there early on thursday to pick it up. The junk started right up and after airing up tires, checking the oil and all the good stuff. We drove back from Bragg to Atl. in about 12 hrs. The only thing that happened was a starter relay failure at Cracker Barrel. After a quick pull start with the Chevy Truck, it was off and running.
I did use two quarts of BG Diesel additive/conditioner but the truck performed great.

I've got lots of pics but can't add them in.

Congrats!! Can't wait to see the pictures! Most common problem is getting them re-sized....let's see the pictures when you get a chance!!

Congrats Manstein, now you have something to put in your sig!

Use your photo editor (Adobe photo-shop, MS Paint, etc...) to resize the pics to 640x480 and they should load right up!

Actually, if you go to http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=4255, there is a link to download the Microsoft Picture Resizer Powertool to resize pictures. A genuine Microsoft add-in, so it is no more buggy than the rest of your OS and it works slicker than snot. After you download and install it, you right click on a picture filename, click on "Resize Pictures", a menu pops up with 4 options for resizing. Take your choice, it makes a copy of your original picture in the size you chose, same filename with (size) appended to the original name (where size is the resizing option you selected).

Ok, here are some pics. Thanks for the help with the resize. As a added bonus, Mrs. Manstein loves to drive the Moose too. She drove on several longer breaks.

Alright!! We love pictures!! Looks like a nice rig!! Hopefully once you burned the old fuel out of it, it didn't smoke quite so much!!

 

[CanonNinja]

every pic thread I see, I get more and more anxious.... Congrats! I can't wait to get mine in a few weeks!

Looks like that Moose could use a new paint job! Keep us posted if you do any mods or repaints, we love pictures here!

 

[Manstein]

Well, so far this unit has had the front bumper and wheels restored to "front line ready" (used car talk) status along with the unit markings on the bumpers. I hope to get the body going shortly. It draws a crowd everywhere you go. Last night, the little woman and I cruised to Red Lobster in it. You should see the looks. The best answer is just to get that vacant blank look and say... "What?"

Nice Looking truck. Where did you get it from. Makes me want to get mine even worst. Waiting on EUC.

 

[Katch1]

looks like it will not take too much to be a very nice truck, congrats.
Nice to hear I'm not the only one to take the little woman out to eat in a deuce!

 

[FreightTrain]

Hee hee hee,Everyone in Georgia is getting a new Deuce except for one person over in Carrollton which Uncle Sammy won't let him have is EUC.....

 

[devilman96]

Ditto on the congrats! Nothing like getting a new toy home and taking her for a spin! Also nice to hear about your co pilot! Nothing like being able to share an experiance!

Is that a turbo truck?

 

[Manstein]

Thanks boys. The wife is great!

The truck is a non-turbo engine... for now. Maybe a good project for later.

I thought my EUC would never go thru either. Won the truck on my B-day in Oct. (wifey placed winning bid) took till second week in Jan. for EUC to go thru.

 

[Recovry4x4]

I'm really starting to like them non turbo rides. The plume of smoke could be fun, especially with a rear exit exhaust.

Nice pics congrats. Lots of duece owners here in Ga. maybe you can make it to one of the Ga mvpa. meetings
