Paul, what is the reason to apply gel coat onto ready body? Is it to make some additional protection which paint doesn't do ? Currently I have the R-model hood in the paint shop and the guy (my friend) is going to cover all the thing with epoxy primer for that reason. Plenty of area was ground and sanded off for crack repairs so 1/3 of the gel is gone. Just want to know how it would be reasonable.

I use Chrome so far. And had no troubles with it. One thing that seems bothering me is I still have Windows XP. And it works very good to my big pleasure, and does it from the very moment I bought the computer, no less that 5 years back. A couple (or much more?) months ago Chome started show notification of it will never update in the future because the end of supporting XP. Every time I read it I thought to myself of how nice that thing is. The system works and no f**king body will make a mess with my digital stuff bringing those terroristic updates. An old iron never dies. But looks like the end of my happy life is coming. Will try to download Firefox.

Uuppps! Can't get to the site with my home 'puter which runs Chrome. The notification tells it's a trouble of security since SSL are different. Or something like that. Would like to learn of what to do. Could get access with my phone this time but it doesn't feel nice. Something like to try scratching carbon from END pistons using say a needle

There might be a ground wire issue. Current can't go to the ground and finds its way through another light bulb.

I saw early Tatra rear engine car, a couple of worthy Jags, De Lorean, German Borgward Isabella coupe and if I'm not wrong a later French Panchard. http://www.vanderbrinkauctions.com/auctions_details2.php?photosel=auction_images/205/fullsize/0160.JPG&detail=205&pageno=1 http://www.vanderbrinkauctions.com/auctions_details2.php?photosel=auction_images/205/fullsize/0223.JPG&detail=205&pageno=2 http://www.vanderbrinkauctions.com/auctions_details2.php?photosel=auction_images/205/fullsize/057.JPG&detail=205&pageno=3 http://www.vanderbrinkauctions.com/auctions_details2.php?photosel=auction_images/205/fullsize/0285.JPG&detail=205&pageno=3 http://www.vanderbrinkauctions.com/auctions_details2.php?photosel=auction_images/205/fullsize/0176.JPG&detail=205&pageno=1 http://www.vanderbrinkauctions.com/auctions_details2.php?photosel=auction_images/205/fullsize/0157.JPG&detail=205&pageno=1 http://www.vanderbrinkauctions.com/auctions_details2.php?photosel=auction_images/205/fullsize/0173.JPG&detail=205&pageno=1

Seems like a party with partying down the governor is coming.

A truck with no trailer is an odd thing in Europe. The most of trucks you can see on a highway are van semi's. Or lowboys with heavy equipment sometimes. Probably a different way to explore and run over trailers. European roads are mostly tight on traffic and trucking shedule. So minimum empty loads. Here are some pics I spotted on my way in Sweden some years back.

Pretty sad. And as I figured out of the reports the previous such accident took place in January 2016. Just a year before. The driver survived that time.

Interesting that there's a lot of European cars. Some of them are count as rare on this side of the ocean.

Hope you got about of what you was planning to get for her. And too hope the new dog house is a good enough for the retired dog.

Nice old picture and too interesting trailer setup also. Got a thought on a side note. Were there any B 73/75 with the integral sleeper cab produced? I mean big radiator ones. Can't remember spotting a picture of.

That's one cool looking Cruiseliner! Hope you will find a new home for it soon.

What was the soundtrack? "Highway to hell"?

Damn, seems like sh*t came as a lot. Good luck on keeping the ducks in order and feel better.

Might be Ok if you went empty. Being you I would make more observations with a load and up steep heels. Your turbo produces pressure by the energy of the exhaust. And when your truck runs easy and you don't apply much throttle not much exhaust is produced. So not much turbo supercharge is produced just because it is not needed in such cases.

Unfortunately I don't see Peter announced a invitation for every old truck enthusiast from all over the globe with coverage of expences to bring a truck there. Otherwise I will be glad to attend Sure kidding. Just have no idea of how much efforts is required to orginize a truck show. So my hat is always off for such the kind of people. Hope it will be a cool event.

Nice to see a first bit of the ways to go is passed. Good luck on the continue!

Sometimes I feel I need some more Dollars prayers for that But being not in trust the only way I see is more wrenching.

My browser logs in automatically, haven't noted anything new so far. Funny thing a friend of mine found out he couldn't visit Hemmings web site the other day. I tried and got "access blocked" either. Read explanations and learned it was because of some security programm. So looks like no one from Russia can visit Hemmings anymore. Everything allright with BMT and I hope it's all under control

If you go to Moscow I'd like to grip your hand. Currently I'm in the process of making my own R688 as cool as yours. Need no less than 2 years or more to get it complete. Hope I will be able to afford it

Kevin, Thanks the great for so much and detailed info. I wish I could spend enough of time to work it al over. But I browsed it in general and got a common view.

Paul, I sure noted the split along the back wall of the cab. Haven't seen the bolts in the video but thought they were there since you mentioned it. Just wonder is there a split over the windscreen also and how the roof remove is a service operation? Might be just a kind of manufacturing design about the cab with no application to please yourself with sunny rays. Thanks for those old pictures. Nice to see. Do you remember the date they were done?

Bob, if you really want I can supply you with a left hand drive one. Just should do it fast enough until ice is strong over Bering strait. Oh, and some cash from your wallet might be involved

A cool looking unit as I would describe it. Saw pics of them on the net before. Just haven't understood the way of conversion those "convertibles". How could you remove the roof or upper part of the cab to make it a cabrio?

Doesn't sound nice. Hope the pot room functions right. Good luck on a speedy and full recovery.
