Been following your resto, what an outstanding job! What I always appreciate about these relics is the commitment required to achieve such results and the satisfaction it brings; to see something "old" and "worn out" transferred back into something great. Bravo!

Thanks for the kind words guys, I need a rest now! I don't plan on starting anything too soon, but I suppose it will be the Cromwell next.

Thats an amazing sherman you have restored there.
How long did it take you?

It took about 4000 hours........... 8 years of gathering parts and about 5 years actual work.

The first event we attended, three Sherman veterans had a good look all over it. Brought back many memories for them, very moving.
That alone made it all worthwhile.

That is a lot of work you have put in your Sherman. And seeing the veterans approve of your work is always rewarding

Adrian has started a "restoration blog" on his M4A4 at the HMVF forum. Check the thread M4A4 restoration for additional pictures and information.
