Very nice work, warms my heart to see a restoration done right. She's gonna be a real looker once you get through with her ;-)

Well, been a bit, so here's where i'm at as of now

A shot of the rad armor before and after





Started to paint all the armor while waiting for the machine shop to make new bushings in the clutch/brake pedal assembly, that also triples as the front cab mount and master cylinder mount. Until i got it back, I couldn't install the cab, which meant all the armor was kicking around



Mount back and assembly starts








I'm glad i haven't done final paint on the panels yet, all the new door hardware arnt fitting right and have had to remove them to modify them

I am always amazed and astounded by those who are able to tackle rest projects of this magnitude and bring back such rare big beasts from the brink of extinction..

Well done... you have my utmost admiration..and awe!!!

Been awhile since last update.
Im still working away, detailing is taking alot of time. Thanks to Rob on this forum I got another pintle/cradle for another deact mg I got from another forum, a 1919. I installed the front sprockets and have the 3 main wiring harness's installed. Will also start plumbing for fuel. I hope to fire the engine in the coming weeks, and in a month or so install tracks
