Thanks all for the comments as it has been quite the journey from the start but still a bit to go as there is quite a few fiddly bits that still need attention but at least it will be fully functioning quite soon for a full season of fun.

Thumbs up Carrier

Dave

Looks great, I know it's been a long time project, that's my next one after I finish my APT. I'll be looking for those old sand shields if you still have them for my Mk1.

Been out out of circulation for a few months, lost my Mom Easter Sunday, 82 years still young at heart, I will miss her. The carrier restoration will be a way to to remember her legacy as first as a child of 6 years old in WW2 in 1939 to a Polish refugee after WW2 finally imagrating to Canada in 1950. Eleven years, it's hard to imagine.

See you soon!

Walde

Very nice Dave! I hope to see it in person some day when I'm tooling around Alberta. Or the Cold Lake Air Show maybe

Glad it helped you along. As with all of the postings other members have done that helped me along the way to get mine done I thank them as well. Been a while since I have posted here but I did not get it out last year to any events due to weather and other commitments but hoping that this year will be better. I did however get to drive it around my subdivision a few time and have put on 29 miles on the odometer. I did put markings of the south Alberta regiment.
