I found something cool yesterday. I was going thru my attic and found a box a parts that came with my 1st FAV. I found an original starter with camo paint and it has a plate on it from Ft Lewis. I thought it was pretty cool. I had installed a new starter during the restoration and didnt even...

started building the upper weapon mount. I'm not a great welder but it is ok. Still need to grind down the welds to make it look good.

yes. I was hoping someone at least made the plate. Either laser etched or sublimation.

A few more things done. Progress is slow with only a few hours each week being able to work on it. I finished the hard brake line and mounted the iconic head light guards. They look good. I started on the M151 MUTT wiring harness install. I will have to do several wiring mods to convert it...

I think this is one of the GLID FAV's. The basket holds the electonics and I bet it got in the way of the dual air filters. Yes.. it kinda looks like the EMPI box.

I took it to several Steel Soldier events here in Central Florida. I drove my first one every where. It caused several 911 panic calls from people who saw the M2 50 cal (inside a cover) and I got pulled over by the police. They looked it over and called other units to come look at it and...

Engine/trans finished except for the muffler. Stock EMPI wont fit. Trying a different smaller muffler if it ever gets here. Started working on the top weapon mount. I made the first cuts to the 2x2 and 2x4 tubing. It turned out great. I also made a new cover for the center dash pod. The PO cut...

It looks like the aluminum blocks are supporting a bar that goes across the back. Maybe the dual cleaners would not fit because of this bar. A single would have to do I guess. With the 3rd crew member sitting/kneeling where the twin AC filters would have to be caused some issues so they resorted...

They are in Bishopville, SC marketplace.

Nuclear plant guard towers for sale. 10 by 10 nuclear power plant guard towers with one foot concrete walls with the capability of taking a direct hit from a 50 cal. Also comes with bullet proof curtains walk around deck and 30 ft tall platform along with other extras like bulletproof windows...

A question back to the weapon mount. Is the plate that is welded to the front tube 3/8 inch or 1/2 inch thick?

I got to spend a couple hours on the FAV yesterday. Installed plug wires and set the timing. Mounted coil and installed the airbox/filter assembly. It looks pretty good. All 10 shocks are installed now. Might start on the electrical or weapon mount next week. Not sure. It is getting there 1...
