For my project which is attaching sheet steel to sheet aluminum I called 3M and told them my plans and they suggested the exact # of the tape they recommended and they also suggested the adhesion promoter I needed to use.  I was very happy with their help and they could not have been more...

Thanks for the replies.  I've got it in a dry shop and have almost got the front half gutted.  I told one of my best friends about the trailer, and he has been plumbing and doing remodeling for 30+ years. He came by yesterday and doesn't think it's all that bad and he's gonna help me some when...

My first mother in law, may she rest in peace, used to bake a ham in Coke for Sunday dinner. I can still taste it. I've wondered about doing the same thing with a beef roast.

Yeah looking back walking away would have been the smartest thing to do and I don't often get accused of being smart and certainly haven't been convicted.   The only bright spot is my neighbor has a shop full of tools he is letting me use for as long as I need it. First thing I did was remove...

I bought a 2003 Aliner Cabin A.  This is not a fold-up camper but a box on wheels. I bought it knowing it had some problems but nothing like I actually found. I talked to Bullfrog and he talked me out of building a foamie (too much work and expense for my 71 year old body).  Anyway, this thing...

Maki2 I had a similar problem in 1995 and it was a pituitary tumor pinching an optic nerve. Had it removed and been seeing very well ever since. An MRI was necessary to find the problem.  My first experience with the VA and I've been using them ever since.  Just try to buy health insurance if...

I heard yesterday that the Chinese are building colapsable shipping containers. I don't know anything more than that. Sounds interesting.

Bullfrog I've been thinking about the same thing.  Can we see some pictures?

Wow who new there are sex bolts and mating screws.  Now I know.  That is a fantastic site.

You're tearing my heart out having to drive such an ancient vehicle.  I drive a 2004.  I do hope you get out there as soon as you can.

One thing to keep in mind is insurance cost.  I was looking at a Chevy 15 passenger van and the cost was over $1000 a year over what I pay on my pickup and TT combined.  I think the reason it was so high is because 15 people might be injured.  That killed the deal for me.  I know the insurance...

I like the idea of using the camper shell, but I will use a heavier duty frame and axle. Thanks for all the pictures.

Might make things move a little faster if we knew "where" in Arkansas. Somebody on here might know someone close to you.

Yeah they made them but they weren't as tough as the Toyota's.  See how short that thing is in comparison to the Toyotas.

Don't spend a dime on that van. Sorry but it's not worth anything unless you need a storage shed.
