Glad you found it helpful.  We have sooooo much content on pretty much every topic. We will keep working to categorize, time stamp and organize these videos so you can find what you need easily.

As always Scott, you are a wealth of information.  It sounds like you identified the problem instantly...we spent half a day messing around with it!🤣. Thank you for the information!

I think there is a "correct" angle for the cam engagement - what exactly it is....I don't know!  The left band is now my "standard"...turns really well and easily to the left.  I am going to be methodical when I replace the bands next week...hopefully I can validate this understanding, document it and make it easy for the next guy to make their Weasel steer correctly!

We appreciate your support Robert!  I don't know anything about that trailer - very interesting.  I will poke around and see if I have any manuals or other information on them.  Thanks again!

Thank you Steven. We are all here and we love to support other restorers.  We are going to have a virtual meetup next Thursday after the show.  Please try and join us - we will have a great time and there will be lots of expertise to answer questions.  Thank you for your support!

Thank you Dan!  Love the photo my friend and thank you for sharing your experience with the Gibson Girl!  That is amazing that they were in service for that long - a deal for the USMC indeed!  I may just have to assemble a complete kit just because.  Funny you mention the hydrogen can....I saw one recently and someone explained it....too cool.  Appreciate you being here!

Greetings folks.  Be sure to check out the new "Collections" tab above.  I am just learning how to use this new feature, but if you look at the Weasel section, there is an ability to group videos by topic....ie engines, transmissions, etc.  Over the coming weeks, we are going to be organizing the videos so you can more easily find all of the videos on ...say rebuilding a WW2 Jeep Engine...etc.

We also have closed captioning on all new videos....we are going back to old videos as well and getting that done.  The close captioning helps us in two ways....of course that you can see words on screen but also helps us more efficiently catalog what happens in each video.  This will lead to better indexing and easier searching over time.

Thank you for your support!

I hear you and this probably isn't applicable to folks doing this work infrequently.  That being said, I figured it was worth mentioning that exposure to this stuff is hard on the body - sharing to increase the collective knowledge base!Like I mentioned in the video, a buddy of mine runs a high end body shop - they repainted Nick Cage's F40 Ferrari....top notch shop.  They paint with Glasurit paint....which I guess is OEM for lots of high end brands.  Glasurit warns these guys that even with a downdraft booth and suited up with a pressurized full face mask, they are only supposed to paint xx number of vehicles because they are getting exposure which is ultimately toxic to the kidneys.  He doesn't paint anymore because he has reached his limit and says he has some symptoms of the toxicity.

Thank you for the comments Steven!  It is great to hear that you are enjoying the videos and learning - I learn every time I work on something...and the process of making the videos always make me think more about what "first principle" I am learning and can share.  Super fulfilling process...and we get to enjoy these incredible pieces of history in the process!  Thanks for being here.
