In fact I'd say that short of restoring a vintage WWII plane, they're probly the most expensive projects youll encounter in this hobby. Actually the most expensive armored vehicle to restore (ww2 vintage) is a Sherman tank. Vastly more expensive than a HT.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm used to ww2 trucks so was thinking it was a metal shroud so now I understand! :beer:

Hello Guys, I have a buddy that needs a shroud to complete a frame up resto. It can need repairs. Anyone got one they can part with? Apparently a hard to find item on the loose. Thanks!

Yep somebody shot the back armor with a shotgun. Combat damage! Ok not really. My buddy who hauled it for me pointed out that you can see a tiny bit of led pellet in the center of each shot blast rust spot. :-D No skate rail unfortunately was there, he turned it into some type of implement for...

Hehehehe Yes they are and so are you. You are the man, couldn't have done it without you. I was wondering how long it would take you to see the thread. Not long!

Thanks for the nice comments guys. It was in southeast Colorado on a large cattle ranch. The guy I bought it from is the original owner. It was surplused out of Pueblo Ord. Depot in 1955. I got the original paperwork for it from when it was mothballed in 1947 and then sold in 1955. The owner and...
