Thank you Jay. It is truly an honor to spend times with these guys. They always inspire me to be better - that generation had a sense of service and country engrained in them we really have rarely seen since. 

Dolan doesn't like working jeeps! 😜. Let's see if we can shame him into commenting here!

I gave Mat some remedial English lessons......more next episode.

🤷‍♂️.....I am all out of excuses🤣🥰

Dave Boocock Only 'cause he was busy breaking his tractor in upstate NY😂. We will ask him to recount the story in an upcoming Episode!

WEARING DOWN ENAMEL....MAN O Man!  😂. Love ya Jay!!  We will endeavor to raise the bar, even on the "quickie" ....ehem..."restoration".... You make me smile and I appreciate that!

I don't remember if we removed those studs when we "rebuilt" that engine. I would assume we did...but I agree...they should not have been that stuck!

Thanks Steve...trying to figure this stuff out...more How To's....keep the show interesting and moving and still educational.....I am learning!

I am "negotiating" access to interviews with a bunch of WW2 vet's...including these two. The stories are fantastic.  The gentleman who sat shotgun lost his hand to artillery in the Battle of the Bulge - drafted in HS, didn't finish basic because he was needed on the front, sought shelter in a house in the first month or so in theatre and lost his hand. Humbling.

Bring that carburetor up to the shop and let's fix it!  Sounds like a fun challenge!!OK Mr Focus, od stuff it is...at least for ShopTime™.  I have my other "channel"....because I do enjoy these other activities...I am actually thinking about splitting the show into "two"....with Tipton Tuesday being what happens every Tuesday when this cast of characters gets together and rebuilds whatever and then a second show just about fixing one thing.  Example:  today I am building a Carter BB1 Weasel carburetor that is completely disassembled.  I will film it - maybe extremely close up and post with minor editing, but with voiceover explanation.  What do you think?
