Post by MauricioWhich reminds me, I need to torque down the head bolts on my '71
Mercedes 250 sedan...
Pics at: http://www.dhc.net/~pmhack/mercedes/250711.htm
Post by MauricioIs it the usual 3 torque settings and then turn X degrees?
Yeah, done with the engine at 80 degrees C. I just love removing hot,
oily valve covers, don't you? :P
And don't get me started on Zenith carbs...
Post by MauricioBTW, I
have a 75 300D in which I dropped a 1983 300SD engine + tranny. That is
the one I was going to put the turbo back in today, after I rebuilt it.
Wicked beast.
Kewl. My latest project car is a 73 450SE. Pre cats. Yum. :D Gotta
troubleshoot the EFI, cos it's not getting gas. Fuses are OK, so I
suspect a relay went blooey.
Post by MauricioHmmmm... I love the smell of Diesel in the Morning. ;)
Me, too:

The mouse came with the car, and showed itself while I was driving it
home. The finback is another former denizen of the Marmel Home for
Wayward Benzes, see:

for some of my former collection from when I lived in Phila (I'm in
Arkansas, now)...
Post by MauricioReplied with some feedback. I wonder how soon it will be ready to be
sent here once more. =)
Should be by next weekend; I don't have much time to do coloring during
the week.
Post by MauricioSpent about 1.5 hours on the WIP so far. :)
Wow!
Thankee! :D
Post by MauricioPost by MauricioI did see Talia, and, man, she does look yummy.
She does well as a farm girl, too. :)
And as a French Maid? ;)
Y'know, I don't think Tali's been drawn as a French maid yet. :)
Post by MauricioWell, father used to work at Dassault-Bregett (sp?), then we moved to
Brazil (Hwei! I guess I was pretty close to your hunting grounds)
I wish. Never been further south than Orlando.
Post by Mauriciobecause he got a job teaching at ITA, a moose throw from where they
build the Brasilia commuter plane. I myself then went to UF to get my BS
in Aero there.
Gotcha. I got my A&P from Northrop U. back in '83, myself. Never used
the damn thing, alas; at the time, aircraft mechanics were a dime a
dozen, so I went into other fields...
Post by MauricioThat's life for ya. Trick is to make the good things outweigh the bad.
:)
Like the last scene in "Monty Python and the Life or Brian?"
(snicker)
Post by MauricioClose enough. One time in our arts class we were supposed to draw
some nice and proper farm scene. I was trying to figure out how the
thrust reverter (sp?) in a 737 would deploy. Another trip to the
principal's office...
Why, ANY ten-year-old should know how a thrust reverser should work... ;D
Post by MauricioNow you have to draw a catgal with tassels for me to color. ;9
Gimme a bit of time! My problem is that sometimes it feels a
character must walk up into my mind and hit me on the head saying, "ok,
chum. I have a story to tell." Then I have to try to draw and put down
what I know about her/him/it. So, that will happen when the tasselled
catgirl decides to drop and say hi. ;)
Fair enough.
Post by MauricioIn the mean time, I emailed you some of my older drawings to keep you
busy while I weasel my way and gain some time. =)
And they're nice! Ya oughta post the Buccaneers one to f.a.e...
-MMM-
