Thanks Steve.I totally agree about the aviation safety.  That said, most of these old warbirds are being restored way past that...polished P-51's.....flawless "imron" Corsairs.  It makes sense given the price tag of a restoration...no one (maybe) is going to spend millions to restore a warbird for the restorer to slap a coat of paint on it.....I do like patina on a jeep, but....there is some line between being a lazy restorer and over restoring. I don't know where that line is.....

Back to quick indexes....I spent an entire day (or two) trying to get a Weasel engine to start because I followed the manual and had the firing order backwards!  That little diagram is very confused!

Thank you Ron - excellent suggestion.  We definitely need to create a master index that will allow people to easily find a topic.  They system was recently upgraded to allow us to provide time codes with links. The next stop is figuring out a way to take that information and compile it....thinking that AI is going to solve this for us shortly.

BUT....😂. You are 100% correct, although I don't know if I can quite agree with the "Tipton Zone" title....come on boss.....there are three other guys...in this shop....making a mess....not putting tools up.....😂

Definitely a work in progress!

Pretty sure that was some kind of ghosting or some other technical issue with the video that caused your to THINK you heard something about a T-84 rebuild video 😂
