Title: Progress on the 40 Merc-getting ready to turn the key
Post by: Kobies Kool 40 on September 16, 2006, 09:10:36 PM
I'm getting closer to my goal of firing this thing up before the snowballs are flying.  Here's some pics of the last two weeks or so of work.  Bought some new motor mounts, modified them and the frame so the headers would clear.  Have had that motor in and out about 6 times now  :lol:

Well, there was that girl that hung around the base quite a bit... :wink:

You are right though... 8)  :D

The British engineers were good at finding the IED's (or RODEO's as we called them), and we would fire a few into it purposely to blow it up. You learned where they were by observing the people in the area. If there was a certain spot where they weren't, chances are there was a darned good reason why. Nightime was a whole different story. We just prayed and took our chances. :!:
