Default Parts n' stuff ya gotta make

When it comes down to availability sometimes you just have to "bite the bullet" and make the item until an original comes along. In the restoration process I found out early that it is not the destination but the journey itself.
I must admit that while I can now (not very well) weld, bang metal, cut, burn n bleed and have liberally increased (or decreased) my vocabulary, I am by no means an expert. One of the pleasures is forming something by hand and mounting it on a vehicle. No one else will know the work/pain that was involved except perhaps your truck, car, gun or AFV. oops getting far to filisofical

Hang in there....your enthusiasm is most welcome from this newbie

cheers from Windsor

Furthermore Terry, have patience... as you well know, Winter has not yet faded... come Spring, both vehicles and parts from old, thawing storage sheds will start to appear, and life as we know it will slowly get back to normal. You will find what you wish.

Default OD obsession

You'll need to have that OD obsession cured and replaced with a KHAKI obsession instead to follow CMPs!

YUP your right, they said at the hospital that OD fever can occasionaly spread to Kahki fever too ........ I will have to look for signs of that as the only even close remidy is 2 gallons of paint and a nice warm day a few buddies who know how to spray and OH ya forgot liquid for dehidration ........ Cheers
