Are you sure it's paint and not primer? Check out the bottom end of this article, talking about "yellow death" paint primer/etcher...

Sorry, Scrounger, forgot about this idea until now, had a lot on my plate recently. I'm in, let me know if I should bring anything to help you out.

Bringing some odds and ends - I'll be in Yellow L/M2 for those who want to stop by. Also, I have some things for guys who asked me to transport things around the country for them, I'll be PMing them to remind them of where I'll be. I'll be there from early Thursday morning through late...

I went to a small hamfest in Culpeper VA a few weeks back, very few vendors but the good news was they required that the only things brought to sell at the show were radio or electronics-related. I'm getting tired of going to MV shows, hamfests, and gun shows and seeing people selling Beanie...

Welcome from up the road in Front Royal, VA. I used to live in Culpeper about 15 years back, and worked in Remington for a while. Very nice area, built up quite a bit since then...

You have a good starter truck there - most of the mid-70s Dodge trucks have dissolved into rust chunks by now, or are close to it. The 1970s was not a high water mark in the quality of American steel IMHO. But it seems your truck is lacking the typical cancer problems, so good on you! Keep...

Sorry, Ziggy, no dice. If you want me to keep an eye out in the future, let me know, or talk to me about it at Aberdeen....

More mil gear! These are from over a month ago, I went to two hamfests in one weekend in early March, one in Frederick MD the other in Annandale VA. These are the military rigs I saw there, and the little I went home with. pic 1: EE-8 field phone - they were early phones that used a...

Have to work today, but packing up Friday morning and will be there Friday around 1800 hours, set up near the Ed King and lancerobson's spot. Will be bringing the following with me: new in box geared lug nut wrenches piles of military radios and related parts, antennas, mounts, cabling...

Wow, lots of great footage here - you guys look like you had a great time. Sorry I couldn't get off work to attend, hope to see you all next time.

Looks like it started life as a M762 utility trailer, they were often used as generator trailers or carried portable light towers. The diamond plate bed is not original, looks like it had a hard life. Can be cleaned up and made pretty again, but I wouldn't bid more than a couple hundred for it...

Many thanks for the heads up, Lance! I talked to Chris before and looks like we'll be sharing the spot! First time back to MTA since 2010, I'm pretty excited! Now let's hope nothing last minute comes up that screws with the master plans!

Is it too late to reserve a spot? I could use a weekend off and need to part with a lot of stuff and make room in the shed. :)

Hope to make it this year - last year I got SO CLOSE to making it up there but couldn't last minute. Heard it's nice up in NH and ME, might have to make a week-long vacation out of it...

Another kudos to gimpy, he's always been a good guy to deal with and has helped me out several times. Wish there were more folks like him.

Looks like I'm out this time guys, work has reared it's ugly head and I can't take the weekend (or even one of the days) off. Have fun, I'll see you all next time around....

I concur that the "donor" pioneer trailer is probably best used for that, and not to be restored by itself. I see too much already gone or rusted too badly to make it a resto candidate, but it will do great donating some much-needed parts to the good one you have. Make sure whatever you...

Dudley was a great friend, I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with him at the rallies we attended together, he was the kind of guy who'd help you out no matter what you needed, and still acted as though he was in YOUR debt. A true credit to the hobby, wish there were 100 more like him. It's...

Dudley is a great man, great father, and one of the best Steel Soldier members I have ever been fortunate enough to meet. His two sons, I am truly privileged to call both of them my friends. I will be starting daily prayers for him until I hear he is fully recovered and out of the hospital.

I'll have plenty of room for whatever you need brought back.
