Hi Willie, someone posted this link over on halftrackinfo. I have good use for that hammer they had. It would be to hit both those 2 numb nuts in the head. What a shame! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NgVeGU4DEKE Don G.

Bravo!! Willie love seeing the old war horses comming back to life! Don G.

The tracks are a banded rubber track with steel cables and clamps. The dicussion is now moving toward reality, a manufacture in china who also makes sherman tracks. Also possibly weasel tracks. Check my link and see. We are taking about a container load comming back to the states. The more...

What Frank said, Gary is out, so is Vector Arms. There has been some discussion about the molds that are suppose to still be in Israel and for sale. (not confirmed) So we hope that some thing will come through or there will be alot halftracks as yard art. Don G.

It appears that the supply of tracks for US halftracks has pretty much dried up. There is a heavy discussion over on the G503 forum about looking into after market at a reasonable cost . If any one has some thoughts or contacts we would sure like to know...

Made some more progress. The little things just take time but it will be worth it. Got the doors hung so I could tighten up the B-pillar, you have to build from the center out. Soon as I get mobile I'll move it over to the other shop so I can get welding on the floor, Stay tuned! Don G...

Look at the jeep designed for 90 days in combat. I'm sure the Sherman was the same thought process. Build it fast, make it simple to operate and easy to maintain. What else is there? Look how much of the stuff lasted past WW2. The Izzy's used the halftrack clear into the 90's Does the word...

Well finally got the cowl mounted on the machine. It's starting to look like a halftrack. Can't wait to drive it. Start this project 10/17/2009. This is my 4 year anniversary! Don G. aua

Wonderful job. The real fun will be when you start seeing parts going back on! It can also be the most frustrating too. As the little details start slowing you down. I'm just finishing my dash on the halftrack. So I can appreciate the work and time that goes into this. But what a wonderful...

Got the cowl mostly done. I to drop it on next week got some more items done on the chassis. Next big project is the radiator. The detail stuff just takes time. Don G.:naner:

I'm going to have to try and make that next year! Hopefully I'll have my halftrack done by then. Don G.

That first drive is always a rush! Great Job!

Got the cowl almost complete, just waiting for horns. Probably going to put the cowl on next week Don G.

Well a couple of more items and I'll have the cowl complete. I wanted a break from the cowl so went over to the shop and installed the new exhaust system from Kevin Lockwood. It is a thing of beauty but boy what tight fit:twisted: Here's some shots of the install Don G

Very nice! Don G.
