M2A1 Halftrack Resto dialup beware
- Thread starter vettes
- Start date
The rear floor is still sitting at the fabricator as far as i know. Its been done for a month. The seller is waiting on the fab guy to finish off stuff for others and sending it one load. So far I have been ok with this (brownie points) but there is parts i need that i want shipped with the floor to save me on shipping. I have all the stuff to put the drivetrain together, so I don't need rear floor or armour yet as i still have enough to keep me busy. I will video the first engine start hopefully this week
Has the rear armor come in yet? Got pics? Too bad it's mild steel - would be great to get real armour plate
Brake lines are done and engine is in. I decided that I will test start the engine in the frame as i can also hook up the rad to check its condition hopefully soon.
Rear floor is still a no show, but miscellaneous parts are coming in from 2 different sources to keep me busy end of this week

The front end (springs/front diff) was NOS just before i purchased it so they were pretty clean to begin with, just a light sandblast and paint

So awesome man, so friggin awesome!
Tranny is in and started to assemble levers etc. This week i will dig out the rad and see if its as good as previous owner said. If it is, i will temp bolt it in and start simple wiring to test fire engine
There blasted, just not painted yet. New paint on bolts goes to crap when tightening them. That's what touch ups are for lol
Looking great - are those rusty tranny bolts!?!

Started to strip down firewall and remove dash to be sandblasted and all the dents banged out. This it the first part to go back on, i want to get it blasted and painted to put back on the frame. There is some welding also needed on the firewall

If my wife would let me, I'd take a week off to go help work on that beauty!If you were closer, I'd volunteer my lathe, mill, welder, etc.
