A Before and After WC51 Moment

I had a visit from a friend who is a WW2 veteran who served on Iwo Jima toward the end of WW2. When I began restoration of my WC-51 he gave me an old photo of him standing in front of a unit WC-51 on Iwo Jima. Today I brought him to my house and took a reinactment photo of him standing in front of my WC-51. I tried very hard to get him to remove his shirt but that was a deal breaker. He said at 88, he no longer does such things.

May be but she paints wood!!!!
I agree with swiss. He's in GREAT shape! but I understand his modesty. The tailgate on the other hand, has no such thing as modesty! LOL

I'm sure Mrs. Tinwoodsman is a very gifted and talented lady. (she noticed the tailgate, didn't she?)
