  4. if it had to happen better a Dog than a Cat as theirs doesnt dry completely and the oily nature of keeps it corroding until cleaned off , so will remove panit and attack the metal underneath .
  5. Thats all well and good to have a static display but I had a friend from Rhode Island who believed in a bit more portable although non-operational missile I think it was a former training aid of a deactivated Minute Man missile shown here transported in two pieces to a local parade a number of years ago .
  6. Thats really cutting things close , right down to the 11th hour but it all worked out .I hope the show and all the traveling to and back will all go without any problems !!!
  7. would not want to go across much of a side slope with that !!
  8. thank you for the information , could'nt tell just what the cable was attached to on the DAF, all trucks over here have tow hooks in or just under the bumper .
  9. an old idea that was once the way to power vehicles prior to and during WWII without gas or diesel? or was a small amount needed just to start the engine ? found this reference on wickapedia to give a bit more information on how they worked http://www.powerset.com/explore/semhtml/Wood_gas_generator?query=wood+gas+trucks
  10. I located an image of another one of the sherman big wheel anti mine units the text calls it M1 Aunt jemima . 75 units made , chain drive from the sprockets to the 10 foot "indestructible" wheels , an extra M4 somtimes being necessary to push the heavy equipment along.
  11. a good way to getting a portion of those booking fees back , and do a favor at the same time . What were you anchored to on the cab I d have thought the towing would have been to a point much lower down ?
  12. found this short clip on pre war US military vehicles and thought you might enjoy it

  20. Get your self a lawyer ...The other guy hit you there is no way you could be at fault and very doubtful there was a big dent already in the exact spot where he hit you !!!
  21. Thats getting pretty low to steal things at shows.... Perhaps its neccessary to think about embeding clips in things like they do for pets or somehow permanently marking items with names or numbers to increase the chance of recovering them at ome future time ???
  22. Flame thrower along with a Japaneze knee morter I believe? is the machine gun on the wheels on the floor in the lower photo Japaneze or Soviet ? or am I mistaken and everything is American ?
