Things have been kinda slow, lost heat in the shop for 2 weeks and the lil stuff takes alot of time
I got 3 gun sockets so had to mount them, weld in supports etc. Also I decided to install roof bows so I also had to weld in the mounts for that  test fit of the 1919 out back  this week I hope to get the rear inside final paint done so I can start on seats etc. All my wiring is starting to come along, got almost all the dash parts I need to assemble.

So im still putting along, dash is almost finished, dash plaques look funny as i didn't pull the cover film off
 Almost ready to install a track, and finally after many years in storage, and the last time since it was run (1961) the engine roared to life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn9YLCSMN7Q Couldn't figure how to put the video in the post Andy

Finally the tracks are ready to install
As delivered to me  Strap cut and lying along side to go on  And in place  It is suppose to be a 2 man min. job but the wife and I managed to get it on. We together make up one normal size guy  Next week the other side and i'll install the big tension springs that keep the rear idler sprocket tight

You do know that these tracks are directional I hope....
There should be a direction of rotation arrow cast in the edge of the track.

Cool Andrew just would not want to see you wrestle them on only to find out they were backwards
