I picked my Milton Hi-Flow fitting up off of Amazon. Man, I live out in the sticks, so I am used to waiting weeks for orders. Bought these online from Amazon and had them the next day! I'm impressed...but doesn't take much to do that nowadays.Niblet wrote:Thanks for taking the time to post the comparison,,I'll be getting some for mine,,did you order them online?

Re: Zeph's '42 Ford GPW
I attended a parade today with Kelley. A little warm. Probably shouda run with the top up, but he likes it better with the top off. He said he was a little sore today as he used the weed eater for three hours yesterday in the heat. He is amazing. Still looking good at 93:
A couple other G503 materialized:
This one was loaded up a bit. Made little Zeph look naked:
By far the largest parade I have been in and the most spectators I have seen:

Re: Zeph's '42 Ford GPW
It was nice. 90 degrees today. If you are heading to TP, you'll come right on by our place on the way. I wish I was on my way there now, but every year I have a meeting on Tuesday night of the event week that I can't miss. Hopefully, I will be down there on Wednesday afternoon. Looking forward to it as always!Niblet wrote:very cool,,looks like a good time was had,,nice weather too!

Wow, my thread burst over the 100,000 view mark! Not quite the first to 100,000, but close. Likely the first non-database thread to reach that mark.
Thank you everyone...and give your MB or GPW a salute tomorrow on July 4th!!! May even post a photo myself tomorrow...one of my favorite things to do.
Regards,

Thank you. I made myself a sign for Father's Day to provide additional motivation for me:OldGPW wrote:Hey Zeph, no surprise there; you do great work and have fun doing it! No wonder everyone enjoys reading about it.

The slogan came in handy for a local July 4th parade today. There was a GPW that needed a bit of assistance in order to Keep 'Em Rolling! I think the heat was taking a toll on everything.
The heat didn't seem to bother Lt. Kelley...aged 93. Right around a 100 degrees and still insisted on wearing his flight jacket for the parade:
What a trooper!! Happy 4th!!
