Mike, remember saying this just a few posts up the page?

Currently I plan to keep it as is. Once I get a little bored with it I will add a camo pattern and then eventually do a NW Europe color scheme...afterall it is only paint and with a gun it only takes about an hour to do.
I guess it just didn't take you very long to get bored!
By the way, the paint job looks great.
I'll get the door on the bus early next week.

Default Lookeeng good!

It'd look better with a quad Polsten behind it! Perhaps you might like to drive it up to BBBBBBBBBB (Boobee- how many Bs are in it anyway?!) this summer and drag the Polsten around to see if yer brakes are up to it!

Love those Gunner markings!

You beek Way!

Mike

Default Cab 13 Maintenance

Hi folks,

I have been doing a little maintenance on the Ford. I needed to tighten up the fan belt. Anyone who has tried to do this will certainly appreciate what a pain in the butt it can be. Especially doing it yourself. After a few moments of contemplation I worked out a solution. It may not be new, but for those who will have to address the problem in the future I have provided a couple of pics of how I did it. Of course this means a few more items to carry in the tool box....no wonder it is so big. No wise cracks from you Bow Tie Guys...

cheers from Windsor....home of the Ford CMP

Myke, I assure you that this was not the first time a chain was used on a Ford...
