I knew that there had to be a reason, but couldn't figure it out to save my life. Thanks, gentlemens!

There is a LOT of work going into this project of yours. Looking good.

I'm guessing there's a good story behind that.

Don't pay ColdWarrior no mind, 18operator, he's lots of time all bark and no bite. :naner:

That should like nice. It sure will be appreciated if you post a pic when you get there.

Yes, indeed. That vid was pretty tight and clear. The one thing I can't figure out is: - Why isn't the "spear point" at the intake symmetrical (when everything else about the engine and the nacelle IS)? It looks "off" by just the littlest bit. But, why?

Of course, it would be nice if the manufacturer simply labelled the "Front". But for some reason that is typically asking too much. Sometimes, it's likely to drive a body to drink.

You might be onto something there, Wire Fox. [thumbzup] Maybe it could become a "thing", an annual HMMWV road-trip for MV owners.

Sounds like you're dogma a good job keeping up with the maintenance. [thumbzup] The combination looks good, BTW.

You know what, curcvrus?. Your new title maybe should be "The Transformer"; nice work. :beer:

Nice. Is that going to be a working truck for you?

But once everything dried out over time, all the connections would be restored, right? Just wondering, because i had a buddy in the neighborhood where I grew up who drove an old VW bug. And every now and then that car just wouldn't start (not even with a courtesy rolling "push" from one of us...

Did you find that in the TM?

A good coat of paint does wonders. Nice work. [thumbzup] Rattle cans, brush-work, sprayer; how did you lay down the paint?

Never even took note that it was a first post! No harm meant. Just looking for fun where it's available. Welcome form here in Virginia, Dbalis. :beer:

And a brief summary (under 3 minutes), of the bomber and crew: https://youtu.be/sxbyfliO7Cc

That engine compartment sure looks clean. :beer:

I found a reference to Hannah Reitsch and her test pilot flying of the Gigante (as it was called). It's the last post (by a guy named Root66), in this thread attached: http://www.falfiles.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-400833.html

We had (2) B-17's fly low over the D.C. area a couple years back. I was on Memorial Bridge at the time (behind the Lincoln Memorial in the vid background). The vid doesn't capture at all the thrill of hearing those (4) 1,200 HP engines overhead. It was killer! https://youtu.be/38s8IZVJRpQ
