Glad you are getting the opportunity to enjoy it before the snow flies Eric. Looking forward to more info/photos etc on your radio setup when you get time... I know you put a lot of effort into that part of the project.

Very nice looking rig! I wonder since the tires were grooved, the 'WT' meant "Winter Tire" following your thought of a trial?

Default Winter tires

Thanks all.

Never thought much more of the tires as I have been preoccupied by other things. Yes WT could mean winter tire.

Still sorting out and trying to find some radio gear, such as the PRC-515.

Just as a comparison shot, I used Home Hardware Olive green spray paint to paint the engine area. It is very close to the dark green in the camouflage pattern. Original gloss olive paint is on the underside of the hood and was also used as an overall coat. It is now under the flat paint.

Thanks
Eric

Default photo attached

Hmm photo did not seem to attach so here it is again. I guess it was too large.

Darrell Thanks. I miss not having the B line and Peter Laroque dumps to look through. Had many trips up with Jim Fraser.

You were also very helpful. Many MV owners benefitted from your generosity.

Thanks
Eric
