So, after perusing the above awards, I can find none for the Longest Distance Traveled. It should be pretty easy to add a supplementary form to the MVPA's vehicle check-in where the owner would write down how far they drove their vehicle to the show.

Good info, PB. The bike has no identifying marks except for a faint, handwritten "MC01" on the rear fender and front frame. I like the IR light. Now, I just need some NVG's.

Here's a list of the 2008 MVPA winners: Master Class Winner Judges Choice Best Vehicle Display Restored Class Pre-WWII 1 ½ -ton Pre-WWII...

I used to think and preach the exact same thing. but I believe the current board and editor of Supply Line will have a positive influence on the group as a whole. David Welch knows that the MVPA has dropped the ball on the M-series vehicles and the online forums, but he and others like David...

OK, enough Westech bashing! Rich is a good guy and has been a long term SS member. He loves this hobby and he loves this country enough to serve it. Many of the long-time SS members have seen tremendous change around here and change is not always good. Westy was trying to remind everyone...

We'll all be furiously working on our heaters in another few months! My kit is complete except for the supply hose that runs from the pump to the heater. Mine was leaking all over the heater exhaust and making a nice smoke screen. I got a new one made at NAPA in 10 minutes using the old one...

Please allow me reiterate that this is our award and David Welch made it very clear that we are to select the vehicle based on what our members like. We do not have choose a vehicle that is a full 100-point resto truck because we think that is what the MVPA members want. Keep the ideas coming.

Great info! Thanks for the first hand account on painting plastic. We are working on getting the carb rebuilt next. It is a fun little bike.

We have had several volunteers for the trophy fabrication so we have that covered. Please keep submitting ideas for the trophy and for voting criteria!

Great thoughts and ideas everyone! Keep them coming!! I like the idea of online voting, but I am not sure of the feasibility, meaning I am not sure how far in advance we could get the photos and how long we would have to vote on them. Let's keep brainstorming.

Great news Casey. Thanks again for manning the ether can for me the other day. In case you didn't read my 925A2 thread, I wanted to let you know that a clogged return line was one of the reasons we had so much trouble getting the air out of the pump. I figured that out after you left. I also...

Bump, for those who haven't seen this yet. Thank you to everyone who has posted their feelings about this very important issue.

Hello Members! SS is working on a new era of cooperation with the MVPA in order to further the efforts of both of our groups. In that theme, David Welch, the MVPA President, has offered us the opportunity to present a SS award to the vehicle of our choosing at this year's MVPA Convention in...

Dry weight is around 2800 lbs give or take 200 lbs depending if things like the flywheel, starter, etc... are bolted on. Big SOB either way.

Bjorn, it is a pain to work so far from home. I could use your fitting supply for sure! John has a decent amount of fittings if there is an emergency or the hardware is closed. Scott, I hope you can get the 108 relocated too. Those are cool trucks. Joe, thanks. I hope you get to start...

Yesterday was another 10 hour work day on the truck at John Winslow's. My main priority was to get the fuel system buttoned up and the air bled out. I was hoping to get it to run on diesel. Once I get it running, then I will be able to seal up the engine, mount the accessory drive, install...

GIJoeCzar just went through this with his 814. His carrier bearing bracket was cracked badly. He could not find a new one through the regular sources so he had a machinist relative make a new one. Shoot him a PM if you are interested.

Enough is enough!! I was just getting on this thread to thank the SS members who visited with John and did some business with him. I spoke with John yesterday and he was glad to meet you all and was thankful for the business you gave him. Stop the bickering! It was a good day for MV owners...

There is nothing wrong with driving a truck home if you do a thorough inspection, know how to drive said truck, bring along tools, spare parts, and help, have proper documentation and insurance as required for your state, and have a back-up plan in case something goes wrong on the trip home...

Right. I was going to add something about exceptions to the rule just for that reason. There are some things that happen that none of us would expect to happen and those should be talked about. Thanks Ty.
