I'm using reproduction armor bolts, rounded head slot. My friend had 50,000 made up for halftracks they were gone in 2 weeks. I know Gary Hebding has some. The flat heads any good fastener supplier should be able to get them for you. Maybe check McMaster-Carr? Don G.

Finally saw some sun. had to move her out so we could get the crane. Got the rear wall mounted, still countersinking the side armor. Did take her around the block twice. Have some leaks to fix but she ran good. Don G.

Absolutily stunning attention to detail. I will enjoy watching the machine come together. :tank: Armor don't leave home with out it:mrgreen: Don G.

Love the attention to detail, a truly fine job! And I thought the halftrack was complicated! Silly me! Don G.

I'm on the down hill run on my M3 halftrack, the 2 big issues are parts availability and moving it. Like was stated what do you want to do with it? I've access to 185 acres of timber land so I can pretty much drive it when I want. I have purchased a trailer to haul it and a haul vehicle. But...

This is the latest post over on the "G" It sounds incouraging! Anyone in Europe want to chime in? From Micheal Keller: The one remaining Chinese excavator track manufacturer who hasn't expressed disinterest in manufacturing tracks has received the sample we sent him. He called today to...

Hadn't posted in a while, got some more parts on fuel hoses etc. Did get my track armor on, it's really looking like a track. I hope we are going to fire it tomorrow. But it was -11' this AM. I hope my buddy will get some better pictures tomorrow. My cell phone camera sucks! Don G.
