  1. Looks as nice as your RW. They both are well pedigreed!
  2. Glad to hear, have a double fun! I worried a bit you may loose the interest to B. Hope you will not.
  3. Thank you for posting, Tim. I like to see some woods, smoke from the pipe and some strange alchemical equipement Hope the syrup was tasty.
  4. I agree. Thought they're 22's. Thanks.
  5. Just start to sand and you will see. On my way I worked with "wooden" biggest grade paper (it was on a cloth though) for about 20 minutes on two hands area. Had nothing good to continue with less grade. So asked to machine them and got it done. There was nearly 17 mm thikness at all and the only 1 was stealed. So I don't worry. But the wheels were not being polished, protected and maybe just washed for more that 15 years. 84Superdog, the tank looks mmm... very nice! Wonder what I would get of my old poor aluminium stuff. Have half a meter of snow around the truck still.
  6. Happy birthday! Have a great one and the evening!
  7. Oh... Glad to see it's far from home. Protect me from collecting unfinished projects. A bit. Looks very nice!
  8. Not shure you'd go well with discs. They are good on flat surfaces and with low revs. Be careful. I also worry too much applying any acid. Mine had deep corrosion when I looked 'em up close. I mean max.close. I had to cut off no less than 1 mm of surface with a big lathe. Than sand them hard with 240 on a wooden block to flat waves. It took 2 working days for each one. After 240 I made 600, 1000 and 2000 wet during 1-1.5 houres and polished with just a cloth by hand in half an hour. Of cource I tried soft disc with green agent for a first but got black stains where I touched it. Needed too slow revs. So continued with a piece of leather and got a bunch of little scratches. Ended up with chrome polish and clean cloth. And again, when I look them over up close I can see little black traces inside aluminium. Wonder what acid would do if it penetrates into
  9. There is a very nice book by the author of Bart Vanderveen, called "The record of military Macks in the services and beyond". I'm too lucky to have it. Here's a page 66.
  10. Happy birthday!
  11. Does anybody know where I can download Moonfire? Met troubles that way.
  12. Looks impressive. I'm starting to like DD again.
  13. Happy B-day to all!
  14. Thanks to David he couldn't download. Now we can all What are the front alloys made by? Early Alcoa? How many inches?
  15. Thanks Tim, nice shots and many interesting stories followed.
  16. Nice cars JT (and the scenery too) My son came to be a big fan of classic American cars last years (he's 12), will give him a look on it tomorrow. Would like to see more facts about your job in the future. Shure it's a truck related site although most of us like pretty looking old stuff.
  17. Happy birthday! I was surprized you're also about pierogy but understood. Best wishes, good luck!
  18. I'm shure this truck looks nice and impressive but I've got more impression about a potential of WW2 time Mack NO model wich was introduced in 1940 with most components applied later in M123. It's good Mack built super level trucks in 40's although I don't see great achievement of builting new army truck using 70 year aged technologies. Shure this CL is a die hard unit but it's not the way to play competition on the modern market.
  19. Nice story Tim, and the pics! I wish I could get Superliner near my door for a price in the States.
  20. Hi! I'm shure ready to tell something interesting about that stuff. Doesn't you make a picture somewhere around Edinbourgh, GB? Paul (41chevy), would you like to look the book on page 66?
  21. Still have about 1.5 feet depth that white stuff everywhere excepting cleaned road and see it's not going to down.
  22. Great scenery! As about the truck, left fuel tank can tell us where it is from. How does that happen???
  23. Sad to know, it's time to think about installation of some protection equipement. As about here the most soling vehicle is KamAZ concrete mixer, not Bentley or Ferrari.
  24. Next time guys make a photo of you both. Shure OD would add marks with your site handles and some hitchkicking nice looking details.
  25. I well remember his welding practic. Can't say I'm happy seeing it again or use as a screen wallpaper. If you remember Rob also posted his metal works about a trailer at the same time, not so extremely though. Glad to know Olive is Ok.
