Ahh good FINALLY an update, and with pics even.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I was not sure if I should continue this thread due to lack of interest. However I decided to continue for my faithful followers.
It's the reader feedback that gives me encouragement to continue to document my work and take pictures of the progress. i thank those that took the time to write compliments and encourage me to contribute more work.
Lack of interest Sir?? Bite your tounge!!!
I wake up every day thinking... I hope GE is working on that M109 so he can make an RV and come to the GA Rally!!!
I know you have to work alone so things go slow. I know times are tight so it's hard to fund things (trust me...I do)...
BUT!!!
A good troop (which you are) will find a way to:

I am just curious why you don't just install genuine air ride seats instead? They are very comfortable and not real expensive if you get used ones.I defiantly like the seat upgrade. im installing bolt on seats onto springer seat bases. I also have been following this thread as i love the 109 conversions. first time posting tho
The floor repair is not that hard if you are not 300 pounds fat like me. The hard part was bending over do to stomach pressing against diaphragm and not being able to breathe. If the floor boards are rotten enough they should be easy to pry off. The rusted sheet metal will take pry bars and a air chisel to make it come off easy. make sure you wear gloves so you don't get cut up from the metal. If you need patches for the cross members I have a couple as samples I can send you.Another grateful follower here, with a shop van in similar condition. Thanks for taking the time to share your ideas, and pictures of your work. I don't have your skills, but since you're making it look easy I'm going to attempt my own floor repair.
Have you seen the picture of the Deuce in the back cover of STANDARD CATALOG OF US MILITARY VEHICLES by David Doyle? i want to paint my M109 the same color. In the picture the Canvas tops look like TAN due to the lighting. I like the look. i think it will look great with the dark sold green.Why did you put on a tan one ?
