Test fitting the pulpit assembly

 

[Klunk]

Arent those guns illegal?

would it be wrong to ask what you think you will have into this item by the time it has plates on it?

 

[vettes]

Its a dewat gun so perfectly legal. Im still adding up but a nicely optioned new vette could be sitting in my garage, but hey anyone can have a vette

You made the right choice.

Finally rolled her from her resting spot of 2 years.

Winch painted and installed

Installing upper rail

Im now in the process of aligning the rear armor to the cab armor. 70 years of wear and tear have caused issues. Alot of playing and shimming im hoping to get it right

 

[vettes]

As of today, the body from the firewall back is bolted up, and im pretty happy with the fitment. Still have to shim it to the frame though. Ammo locker doors are on, and windsheild armor is on, i figure it was easier to put on now before putting the pulpit up there, which is next

Vettes,

If you restore another one, you should bring in a camera crew and make a weekly TV series called "Halftrack". That would be so much better than what is on the tube these days.

"Halftrack" would have a following bigger than Duck Dynasty!

Wonderful restoration so far Vette! Please put up a video when she's rolling under power.

^^ +1 !!

We're awesomized by the awesomeness of this awesome restoration

 

[Skaal-tel]

I love checking in on your progress. Never had to use a crane to install a windshield before, myself, but I can see the use here

 

[bbartsch]

It's hard to describe the amount of awesome in this thread, but I'll be damned if you dont have a lot of us immensely interested in this vettes. Great work on this build!

 

[mcpiper]

Still tuning in and enjoying the updates. Maybe I'll stop in one year on way to deer camp to see it. Keep it going.

 

[zelly_101]

Pulpit bolted down, and the gun mounted today.

Merry Christmas all,

Andrew
