Sounds incredable frustrating. A good thing about an overhaul is you're able to control the assembly. Buying a Re-man you sure suppose to obtain the facrtory quality. And such the case tells very loud about that quality. Too sad.

Nice scenaries, thank you for sharing. Colorado river is on my "to watch" list but in Utah. Currently it's not the plan for the nearest future though.

That frame is long enough to put a big bunk. Nice Arrrrr...

It was that way later, on CH and CL models. Gold dog for "all Mack". I'm not ready to tell what years it was exactly.

Happy Birthday Doug!

Recently I saw some on ebay. Just put something like "Mack cable" in the search field. But usually you have to figure out wich one would work for you. Knowing the original number is an advantage.

Best Birthday wishes Bob! 60 sounds like a score. Have a great day!

That makes sence. I remember a long while back I read an article of how BMW bought some small European firm and continued producing its cars. But later I have never met any traces of that story. Haven't rifle through that though. Thank you for clearing me up.

The color-back effect looks nice. Good work having such the crue! Hope the youngsters will enjoy this game for a while. As for stainless hardwear (and other SS parts) they give extreme corrosion effect when in contact with common steel parts. It was surprize to me once I heard that but after figuring out some circumstances of my practice I found it true wery much. That's why people don't use SS patches welding rusty car bodies. SS doesn't rust itself. But ruins the serrounding iron. If you use any SS part or bolt/nut/washer in contact with iron use any gasket and some grease to separate the parts. And it seems to me the same thing goes between chrome-plated parts and iron. Sometimes you can see rust where chrome bumper touches steel body part wearing the paint off.

You're always welcome guys!

That's right way to do it. The cab looks solid. Hope you will save some labour on fixing it up after that lot of the cleaning work. Good luck on the continue.

Neat ducks! And turkey's. I have never seen any turkey flying. And... did I say about turkies? A good point about the bank account

Hi Pawel! Great news!! I know exactly what you feel because I tried to drive a big truck for the first time after driving a car for nearly 20 years myself. Funny thing with me that I had no one hour of practice with a professional instructor. Only at the exame Another nice thing was to start trainings driving my green American beast with mostly ground-off split gearbox. So you have to make 2-3 attempts to put in every gear. Saving power on avoiding the clutch use though. Good luck on the deal, I hope and at the same time sure you enjoy it.

Sounds good! But I'm afraid all that is just a dreaming. Or... If you noted the article said about a dog sled at some point

Sorry to making you upset looking the pictures. Here's the last bunch. The red VW concept car seemed attractive to me. I haven't learned any details about it though.

Some BMW's including the white color strange unit. Never seen anything like that before.

Jaguars XKE. Some British company reproduced the most of the outside panels for XKE so you can build about a new body for that type of car.

Jaguars

Continue of MB. The big pre-war ones are compressors.

More MB. The ones on the scene were the official Mercedes-Benz stand. The vehicles were took out of the factory museum

The most of my attention was payed to Mercedes and Jag cars. Two reasons - I like them and found no Macks to drool over instead of.

The exception I noted was the GM Futureliner. I was surprized to see it personally and didn't miss the chance to talk with the owner on what that beast was and wat it was made for. He explained me that only 7 survivers are currently exist and 2 of them are in Europe including the one at the show. I should admit the thing was impressive.

Hi to all, I don't know if anybody noticed me being scarce recently or not but I was generally off the 'puter for the last two weeks indeed. A friend of mine offered me to make a trip to Europe to shake up the brains after the long winter months and I accepted the entertainment. We started from Moscow, crossed Belorussia, Poland and entered Germany setteling down in the city of Essen. There was the largest European classic car show demostrating the top-quality resto shops, classic car clubs, vehicles for sale, flea market e t.c. As usual. I've done the bunch of pictures and supposed it would be interesting to our members to put an eye on them. So here we go. There were not many American vehicles and about nothing of trucks. With at least one exception wich worth to be seen on my mind.

If the banjo is stamped steel you have good chances with some work required. Cast iron seems as another story. Good luck on fixing it.

The issue list doesn't sound nice. Would that brace allow to move the knee?
