New Deuce Win...

[alphadeltaromeo]

Well gents, John Kelly has stepped up to the plate and will be driving his dooly w/trailer, so that will make things ever so easy in comparison with having to worry about driving it back. I appreciate the prayers David...we'll covet them on the trip!

Needless to say, the lot of us expect volumes of pictures. Make it happen. John Kelly, thanks for stepping up. Wished I were affiliated with all you fine folk when I got started in this hobby some 20 years ago!

Andy...firstly, great name and secondly, I appreciate the well-wishes! Ok, it's confirmed...this Friday we get it woohoo.

take video if possible. Can't get enough deuce noises... its therapy, man, I'll tell ya.

 

[alphadeltaromeo]

Hmm, I can take some vid...that it possible...but we may not be starting it. We may just get it on the trailer...just have to see how things go.

Start it Start it get under the thing then start it. I am almost certain from the posts and from experience with dueces that it will start if it has oil and batteries. It will give you confidence in the truck. No better way to get a truck on a trailer than to drive it.

No matter what you do my brother I will be praying for you.

 

[alphadeltaromeo]

Ya...I think you're right...plus, nothing like hearin' it bark the first time huh. I believe that both John and I will greatly appreciate the prayers. Much appreciated David!

Beauregard is laxed man. You don't even have to sign in or anything and you can bring pretty much whatever you want. I usually carry a fully loaded M-16 and semi MG-42 in the back of my truck and don't even have to remove them when I enter Beauregard (even though it says you have to). I visit there allot and my Civil War unit does allot of stuff there so they've come to expect me packing. I'm NOT reccomending that you do this but I'm just giving it to you as an example.

One of my buddys works in the museum there so if you get a chance stop in and check it out, you will be passing it up when you start down the drive to the back lot behind the prison where the vehicles are parked. His name is Richard Halloway and he's a really nice fellow and happens to be our unit captain. Ask him to show you what they've just pulled out of the woods. They've been coming across wrecked aircraft and have also discovered a junked early M-3 Stuart tank. I'l be helping to do the restoration on that
Anyway, check the museum out! They have some really cool stuff!!!!!!

Good luck guys, hope everything goes well today.

WOOHOOO!!!

K, home and guess what...new batt's and it fires up and runs real well. Brakes and everything fully functional. Now, we did have probs with no lights working, but once the new batt's were installed, they were all working perfectly. Airshift is a go...it's almost perfect. I'll get some pics and I have a few great vids to put up as well. That will have to be a bit later, as we have a guest staying in the office where the puter is and he's fast asleep. I did take the entire crew around the block...of course without being licensed...and they loved it.

Like I said, a full report and pics later. I'll say this though...John Kelly did an incredible job on the trip...that boy is a stud
