54-82540 Ferret Scout Car Restoration

[Brad Mills]

Rob,

I know, I know. I'm starting to slow down in my old age. Gravity is starting to take effect. :-)

Yup, same Ferret you saw when you were down. A deal was struck at last and things are now underway.

The ferret has all the CDN mods except for the DR-8 wire reel mount on the Left side. I want to keep the vehicle as original as possible as it was used by the CDN Forces. The signal lamps/brake lamps are a real mess. Not sure what to do there. The conversion using the original Brit towers are hideous, but it is what it is. I will either leave them as they were or make up the small brackets as was done on some of the other CDN Ferrets such as seen in the photos below of 54-82593 (Gate Guard at the NSH Armories)





The style above is much cleaner looking.

Strange how they remounted the rear lamps, moving the original towers towards the middle of the fenders. Kinda makes the fuel can rack useless unless you mount the can on its edge.



Nice to see the right upper hull has the mod for the Spotlamp bracket:



Will list all the CDN mods with photos I can see on this ferret in another reply.
