We are going to be doing a grand unboxing soon....a year late, but wth!

Upside down???? I tried to install it the other way around on Tom's jeep - could not get it to fit, even with the Dennis hammer! Went back to the "normal way". I need to get some good pictures from you of the Tug transmission and t-case and share them....a super cool piece of history. Cheers Dana!

It is getting to be Weasel season Nick! I had the M29 out last week.....am definitely looking forward to rebuilding the T24 engine and really getting after it. Cheers!

Greetings Tom!

Thank you James! Welcome!

Sounds like a nice, organized approach. I am working hard on my mindset to reprogram the idea that time spent organizing stuff is time well spent....I mostly learn by doing....so tripping over stuff is slowly but surely convincing me!

Another shop philosopher! 😀  Do you sing in your shop too?Love this comment.  One explanation from a fellow traveler - "we restore these objects to be closer to the time period"....an interesting idea too.  At the root for me, all deeply satisfying.

Thank you for all of your support Jay - most appreciated! 

Cheers!

I did not forget your very generous offer Robert. I really appreciate that. This ended up being a really, really good deal based on our last conversation. I would appreciate the information on the differences. If they are minor enough, I will likely make the changes. I think I read that I could get a correct data plate too? All fun stuff. Again - always appreciate your comments and the support.

Quality problem my friend!

I have a couple of helmets. The 3M is called a Speedglas. It was my first good helmet. I broke the lens and then replaced it with an "upgraded" and larger viewing lens. I swear I am getting sunburned...bought the replacement lens off of Ebay from a supposed 3M dealer...wondering if I got duped. So I tried it again and my eyes hurt. The Miller is a cheaper model, but it works so I think I need to chuck the 3m. You can get into an inexpensive TIG now pretty easily.....or do what I do and get a used one so you can add to the project list :-) Hope all is well!
