    Removing CARC paint from tire

    Time to finish up the M1083 model

    I've been building the trumpeter m1083 model over the last year and a half. It's a pretty detailed model except for they royally screwed up the interior. They made the center of way too narrow and the footwell's way too big. If you are making this model I have designed a correctly dimensioned...

    Good use for old fmtv tire.

    I was wondering if there was a good use for the tire tread of a blown out military tire such as a good year MV/T. I figured if the sidewalls were cut off and it was cut and stretched out, you would have a strip about 11 ft long. That could be used as a traction mat, as a tree saver, as a...

    Restore fmtv rims paint or powder coat?

    While changing the blown out tire I noticed my wheel is a bit rusty and a bit rough looking. Is it recommended to paint it or to powder coat it? What kind of media blasting or stripping should be done first? Walnut shell, sand, etc... And if one was like that I figured more would be. I was...

    Idea for m295a1 Van trailer

    There's an m295 van trailer for sale on Gov planet in Colorado Springs. I had a thought for a trailer like this and I almost wish this was the kind that I had found but it's too far for me. You take this kind of van trailer, you can either leave one side fixed closed, or both sides to open as...

    Good video for restoring an old battery with a welder!

    I've never heard of this technique before but I'm a fan of this YouTube channel project farm. I highly suggest watching them especially before you consider buying it any kind of new tool. Using a cheap welder he successfully restored several batteries some of them to near new condition. Maybe...
