Default My Other Softskin

This morning I participated in a local community's parade, Gilbert (Arizona) Days Parade, driving another army's vehicle (my Kubel). I belong to a local reenactment group, 30 AU. See the attached pictures.

KoO:
Yes, it's set up with hand controls. I had the body set on a '70 pan that had a Type 3 auto-tranny in it. Had to change out the motor and have an upright one installed.

I'm 6'5" tall and it sure is a tight fit getting into it! I figured that if I could contend with the small leg room in it, I should be able to deal with the F8's limited space! We'll see!

Regards,
Jim
