Most of the post war frame mods are gone. Just need to clean up. Tracks are off, and everything pivots,rotates,roll etc so that's a bonus. Also after removing a lot of the post war stuff, it turns out she was an M4A1 Mortar carrier not and M2A1. I will be converting her to the M2A1 configuration.

Some more current pics. I haven't had a lot of time lately to play around with her, but the parts started showing up so i have not excuse to not get back on her. Got the frame blasted and on to painting it and getting drivetrain installed

Got all the drums off and got the brakes done. The front Diff was NOS so i just changed out the wheel cylinders as there was brake fluid crud sticking the pistons. The rears were a different story, everything was rusted. Pulled the rear pumpkin and found rust had taken its toll on half the assembly. I sent it out to my drive train guy who didn't think it was that bad. In the end it only needed one side bearing as it was starting to turn black and pit. I am told the rear floor is done at the fabricators and will be on its way to me soon.

great progress, the breaks sure do look great after your work!
good to hear the rear diff is alright. im assuming that rear gear would be troublesome to find nos? I was in Keswick saturday but on a BMW cruise with my brother, kept thinking of this halftrack! I tell you, if I was your neighbor I would be over helping keep up the progress, just dont forget pictures when you do!
