Kettenkrads are exceptionally complex machines and not easily replicated. They are also exceptionally dangerous with exposed track and being very narrow. It was originally designed as a prime mover that would fit into the Ju-52 which is not a very large plane. I have driven four different...

I agree, the Merkava replica certainly looks good standing still, but there is very little to it actually. Still, for a replica, this is pretty common.

I would be asking yourself why? Why reinvent the wheel? It will not be cheaper in the long run for two reasons; built cost will be more than you realize, and it will not appreciate at all like something real. Real armor appreciates. Replica stuff does not. Plus, you spend all your time telling...

There are several great YouTube videos. Just search Stalwart 6x6. A friend in KY had one with a Perkins diesel. That was a nice truck, but as labor intensive as armor.

Licensing a track vehicle for road use in the US depends upon the state. Some you can, some you can't. I have known collectors in Kentucky, Texas, Kansas, and Florida that have done so, but know nothing about any other states.

That's only the second photo I have seen of a V-100 in country that is camo. Cool.

Looks really great.

Now here is a good pull: Smart car with a Sherman Easy-Eight Actually we pushed with the Pinzgauer but it works great. The front hitch on a Pinz is real handy. Now the Smart car, who would have thought?:tank:

We've towed with our M710 Pinzgauer lots of times. They roll pretty easy. Stopping is another matter.

Federal Law only permits a vehicle to be 8ft. 6in wide. The only exceptions are farm and construction equipment like cranes. That would prevent an OT-90 for sure. Then the state laws would likely prevent it due to steel tracks. I am not aware of any rubber padded track ever made for the OT-90 or...

White vinegar and water mix works great and does not leave any odor behind. Have used it on WWII tents for years.

More to come as restoration continues...

IRACinc already does an awesome Mk-19 and M-2HB. A M-134 is tougher than most realize. Good luck with it.

That's "Bocks Car"

A D-21, YF-12A and SR-71 are all at the USAF Museum at Wright-Patt
