    I still check in every day for my daily blood pressure check and a good laugh. And a "Holy Crap how did he do that so fast reality check".[thumbzup] I STILL have the bat nearby to make sure it does not yet turn into an ice cream truck! I am pretty sure we are well beyond that.

    I saw those tail lights and instant flashback to the movie War of the worlds!. The original version. Remember the eye on the snake head? Oh well, it is looking fantastic and that floor is perfect. I love metal but I also love wood. I wish I could work it as well as I can metal. Those old...

    Excellent work Sir. Not knocking your glass painting at all, I figure it takes the same amount of time to remove the paint with a blade as it does to mask it so it is a matter of preference. I was taught by a custom painter who was a perfectionist of the highest order so everything was masked to...

    Now I KNOW you did not paint the windows but it sure looks that way!?

    I was talking about the desert camo pattern to the dirt. Open your mind past the vehicle sir. Relax a bit, drink more than just one alcoholic liquid refreshment today and the he## with the dirt, it can wait. P.S. Most of us worked in the dirt long before we got concrete didn't we? I still don't...

    Post number 899, picture number one. Did anyone else notice the pattern on the ground under the front of the truck? Interesting.

    Did you get that last regulator to yield yet?

    Looking very good, I'll bet that thing is an oven with the windows in and the fresh paint on. I see you have one of those fancy fluorescent air hoses, looks very pliable. How do you like it and where did you get it? I hate mine always looping up and tripping over it. Rick

    That blue paint on the column looks vaguely familiar.

    Not being a WWII guy I will ask, did any other vehicles use the 270? If yes I would say it may have been a field expedient repair. Or end of life repair and that was all that was left. I like the first explanation better. I think the gas pedal was a case of "I can make this thing go faster...

    The price for the harness will be "If you have to ask, you cannot afford it".:!: Those pictures of the wiring will bring things back to reality real fast won't they?

    At this point I believe Zout would ignore all zaps and proceed to lynch you!

    Unless? I sure we could take up a collection for a small bribe, er, donation to the K-18 fund.

    AHA, Understood. The drooling didn't have anything to do with the repeated zaps from the remote did it? I know you said it was hilarious to watch him flop around like a fish out of water. LOL.

    Even after all of the previous pictures it was not until the last three that I noticed that the K18 had been punched in the nose.:roll: PB, Sending Deb the remote could make for some real entertainment. Sure you want to do that? What am I thinking, of coarse you do, you have cameras.

    New M1010 CUCV, power steering Q's...

    Think about this. The clutches in the differential will want to spin the opposite wheel, just like it would if it were jacked up and you spun one tire the other would spin the same way. Same thing on the ground and driving. There is no resistance in turning the other axle. It will also turn the...
