M2A1 resto in the works

[Andrew]

End of April i fired the engine for the first time. All went well with some small issues.

May 24 weekend I pulled her out of the shop for some sun. Been over 3 years since she saw any. Still not under her own power but wanted to set the steering straight






Then onto getting it ready to run. I wanted to have her driving under her own power for the 70th ann of D Day June 6th. Well all went well. Here is the video made Friday June 6th. Wife did the video and shes not very tech savvy.

Sooooooo last week I got the last fender on, reshot paint on the body and let it sit. The last gauge for the dash also showed.

Im waiting on the star templates and hood ord number templates so I can paint them on soon.
today I pulled her out for the first fully finished body shots. Still need some small stuff like another gas can, a few more machine guns etc but all the hard stuff is done
