Thanks Glenn,

Thanks again,

I need some help. Back a few years ago there was a web site that listed the SN and USA and owners of GPAs. I used it to extrapolate the DOD and USA # for GPA5294. Wellllll, I have lost my notes and the web site is no longer up, can some one point me to another resource to determine them again? I kno...

I have my GPA tub in the shop ready to begin assembly, but I have found several tiny pinholes by shining light from below. My question is what is the best sealant? 3M puts out a product that is polyeurathane based but says it is for wood and fiberglass. There is another product I have found by Boatl...

Peter,
Put me down for 2. Thanks, John

Hey guys, just FYI, I was working on my Command Car and ordered a fuel sending unit from MidWest Military. When it came in, it looked like it would fit the GPA. I tried it in the tank and it fit just fine, then I took the gauge and hooked it up and it tracked perfectly on the work bench. After insta...

Glenn,

I have the left and right dash vents, but need the rest. Let me know pricing also when ready.

Thanks,
John

Thanks Tony, I looked at my front deck to see the size that holds the light bracket. I have ordered some panhead bolts from McMasters and will see if they are the same. John :D

Quick question, on the side of the gas tank are tabs for blind nuts to hold the screens. What size nut? I assume 1/4x20 but would like to get it right before welding them in place. Tony did my GPA and Slat engines and trannys. The slat runs like a top and has great oil pressure. I have over 2000 mil...

Mithril and Tony, I do appreciate the input. I knew the radiator was OD, came back from the radiator shop black, but I did not know the trans was gray or there was no bowl on the fuel pump. The radiator is sitting in place to give me perspective on fuel line plumbing. I will repaint and put shroud o...

Finally starting to assemble. Seems like forever gathering parts and repairing others. My plan is to run the frame to check engine, transmission, and running gear before stuffing it all in the tub. :shock: I discovered the need for both radiator pipes, upper and lower. If anyone has a spare, please ...

Mithril,

Sure, you can post them. I hope to have some pics of 5294 shortly, showing progress on completing the hull and frame. Progress is being made!!! John

Here are a couple of pics out of scrap book of my daughter's boyfriend's mom. Her dad is on the left in rear seat. No idea where, just that he was stationed in Europe during WW2. John :D http://upload4.postimage.org/1963909/DADANDSEEP.jpg http://upload4.postimage.org/1963911/DADANDSEEP_2.jpg

Tony,

Put me down for a firewall pad too.

John :D

Me too!!!!! :lol:

I have owned 5294 for the last 4 years and have worked to get restored, but last year or two have been slow going. Especially since hurricane Katrina. Still gathering parts in spite of little hands on work. Hopefully will get back to assembly in the next few months when life gets back to normal. Eng...
