Happy Fourth of July! Sorry you didn’t make the parade. I missed our home town parade this year, too. Have too many irons in the fire. Go Navy! Beat the heat! Whipple
I was just thinking of Donald Sutherland's passing when you mentioned it on the channel. He played a great character in the movie. 100 degrees +. No thanks! I'll take my 94 degrees in Pennsylvania! LOL Thanks for the update. I really like this project that you have underway.! 👍👍👍
Corn head grease…the box must be clean and empty of any oil or grease. I have a full tube if you want it. The temp is high because its sender is so close to the exhaust. Are the side engine mount strong enough? after you start driving you will want to keep an eye on them for an additional bold on brace. Roch..I would put a dip (lower) or an arch (higher) on the trans mount for the front drive shaft clearance . A cut piece of 5” pipe should do it…. I also have a Holley replacement carb from my mother’s 1970 Nova 250 six you can also have.
The satisfaction of a job well done! The little pleasures of life. Good job. I allow myself to ask you a question. I acquired a 1944 WC-57. I'm getting to know it, it works almost like a charm. The issue I encountered is the following: during driving, the gears shift rather correctly with double clutching (slightly capricious to downshift from 3rd to 2nd but I lack practice). However, once at a standstill and in neutral, if I want to shift gears again (no matter which one), I systematically have a crunching sound before engagement. Where could this come from? Clutch linkage? If you could shed some light on this matter, I would be grateful. Best regards
Tried for a good few minutes with the impact a couple of times and after your vid came right off great work sir and thanks if noone else hasn't already said
It is absolutely amazing and fantastic that you thought to take so many photos over the years and could edit them all sequentially. Impressive. Cheers! Whipple
There is too much talking, not enough doing. Also, a good heavy-duty impact will break it with less effort or stick a hefty long pry bar through it and brace it. Won't cause any issues whatsoever.
OK. This has been a fun series to watch. Thanks for posting the journey. Really appreciate it, and thank you for your service to our country. Cheers! Whipple
I’m telling you boys, I chuckle out loud every time I here the name of this project. One of my favorites that I follow. Carry on, and be safe working on/towing/driving in that vehicle…! Cheers! Whipple
I envy the riggers, fitters, mechanics and welders that worked on the assembly. The crew I was on only got called in when something was hanging on a hillside, deep in a cut, next to four lane of speeding traffic, underground or it was raining/snowing. Never got a chance to be part of anything new, shiny, or painted up real nice. Our work was always on broken, twisted, worn-out and rusty equipment. Great video. Nice machine! Cheers! Whipple
You’ve got the same issues going on as me. I just told my wife that my problem is I have two bad shoulders, two bad knees, and lots of good friends always asking or help and I can’t say no. A bad combination at my age. The project is looking sharp! Cheers! Whipple
You've got a great project going on. I enjoy seeing how you're changing it to fit your own vision. Also very much looking forward to seeing it get ready for the parade in July. Cheers! Whipple
Great video. It really helped me a lot. I have a question: at the beginning, I didn't block right the crankshaft pulley and it rotated a few degrees, Is this a problem or do I need to adjust the time chain?
It was an M48 chassis as other commenters have said, but it was supposed to have a gas turbine engine. My MOS 52F was supposed to support that engine but never came to fruition. MacGreagor range incident sealed its fate as a dangerous piece of junk.
@@USMCROCH In my situation I had someone carelessly damage the flange on my Honda civic where the CV axle seal rides. It hasn't ever leaked but when it happened I put cold weld over the crack. Driven it like this almost 65000km. The other issue is the aftermarket axles don't hold up, boots tear, and I'm gonna have to rebuild the original ones to fix it and install
