Dale I did not see Liz and I on the tee shirt list. We wanted 5 shirts. 3 green and 2 black. Large.
We will make it this year. Probably for only one night. If there was anything in the PM that was sent out that we should know, Safety, event timing, secret MV handshake, etc please forward.

If Napa is any help there I would be surprised. There are a lot of weatherstripping company's that produce a lot of different products. Restoration specific and generic bulk stuff. Resortation stuff for cars can often be used on an MV. Here is another.

And the Rochester in my CJ will keep my motor running while completely on it's side. Twice now I have had to turn off the key to kill it. Good carbs.
No one is bitter. Lets talk about what to do if you get stranded.
I love my duece as much as the old CJ. I'd have a hard time leaving it...
Years ago when I used to go up in my CJ solo because of working an odd shift, I would always call a friend and tell him if I didn't call by 6ish that I would be in this area or that. I knew it was risky and I never changed the plan. I never needed help and with a little SAR experience, it...
Granville King and SUPERDAWG! Thats quality reading.
I remember a story of blowing a hole in a block and pulling the piston, carving a branch to plug the cylinder and seal the water jacket to make it home on 7 cylinders.
I'd have a hard time leaving my CJ. I would call for help and wait...
It looks like the narrowest cut I could make is .095 with the older style tooling I have. And I was wondering about my calipers being able to fit inside the ring grove for a good measure. A quick check on how thick the caliper jaws are shows .145
I have some other stuff that can get in there...
I have a couple questions for you.
Are you in a hurry?
Can you provide all dimensions, depth of cut, width of cut, chamfers if needed?
If I am duplicating a ring groove than I need to make sure my measurement tools will fit.
I have this older JET 10X24 that has been great. I have been...
x2 on the power bleeder. You cannot go wrong. It worked so well I made one for DOT 3 for my civi rigs. The return is huge for the money put out. Highly recommended.
Something I didn't mention. Panic stopping a duece means you should examine your brake shoes for broken welds on the top of the shoe frame. I did and mine were fine. I refused to drive it until this was done. I had this happen a few years ago and it caused complete brake failure later on.
I wanted this to settle out before posting it. It has been two months so apparently I am not buying a new 2012 BMw X-5. I had not driven it in a while. On February 4th, I went into town to pick up a rear rockwell, boarding ladder, two 1100's and a spare cargo cover. I left my friends home and...
If they are shot thats unfortunate. But they are easier to solder than you might imagine. Use acid core solder or silver solder,not rosin core. Rosin core is for electrical connections. Also use a small brass brush and or sandpaper to clean off old paint and corrosion.
Get a small propane...
