Metal Dash Event

[NelsAnderson]

Speaking of photos, does anyone have any from the earlier years of the event? I think it's been held since 2004. I've got photo galleries for 2006 through 2009 but if anyone knows a source for 2004 and 2005 let me know.

Also are there any other videos or articles online out there? Let me know about those too. Thanks!

Looks like a everyone had a great time.. Great pics.. I wish I could have been there, but the SIII is still not on the road, plus not a metal dash.

Can someone explain the green broken axle in one of the pics?

I believe Clifton would be the best to reply to the broken axle .. interesting story.

Great job, Rob! I've added a link on the www.metaldashweekend.com web site too.

Awesome job, Rob !!!
Any ideas for a Tech Session for next year?

[Jim-ME]

Les,
There always seems to be questions on brake work especially making Proline shoes fit. A lesson on how to chamfer them would help me a lot.

Hmm,

Need some help with that !
Maybe we can do the Airportable brakes, if its still in the stable at that time.
Also, at AMD 2008, I promised a copy of the Lucas Diagnostics to some one, I have a CD at hand and I have mislaid the details of the promisee!
Any ideas whom that could be?

[rwollschlager]

I got some ideas....

-Flaring and bending brake lines (by this time next year... or in just a couple months, i will be very good at )

-Tips and tricks to cleaning, maintaining, and waterproofing a canvas top (seeing how most of the trucks up there had soft tops)

-Proper use, techniques, storage, and maintence of the high-lift style jacks

-Field repairs: whats likely to break on the trail or on the road and what supplies and toolds to carry to fix it.

That's all i've got so far. I'll keep you posted
