hmmm..which one is the only civilian owned HMMWV? The others are CA National Gaurd

Camo paint was a Pain. Painted green first and then used pin stripe take to mask off the design which was the wrong thing to do. Now I have to redo the black because it has some high ridges that look weird. i think if you have a diagram, and a gun that does not shoot to wide, just look at the...

added a few more items today and a turret brush! Now that's a rarity.....

I don't think it would be as difficult as you think. Its value is obviously decreased because of the uncertainty, but you could get a certified declaration in Argentina that it is in private hands, and then arrange in Argentina to ship to the US. You coudl of course check with the Department of...

Adding A/C vents, mounting radios and putting in some grip tape.

Those are some cool pics!

It looked like this when i got it a year and a half ago. Its sat around for nearly one year because i could not find a turret ring for the aluminum roof.

Actually, it was put together by hadn by a very knowledgeable guy in the north east. I bought it from his in a pick-up and soft top configuration. Then I started down the road of tracking down the parts for a modern slant back, radios, antennas, some basic armor, and even an A/C unit that mounts...

Here we go, my dad and I have been working on this for 14 months, trying to get it ready in time for the Independence day parade, where it will be the escort vehicle for my M35a3, which is scheduled to carry Vietnam Vets from the Long Beach VA. This means a lot to me as a serving member...

I am about ready to paint my M1151 clone (basic armor is still not on yet) in a woodland camo scheme and i was wondering if there exists an M1151 Paint scheme TM/Pdf? I have one for the M998 but they were painted woodland camo with a different pattern. I have lots of photos from online, but...

You need to have that piece because the armored bulkhead fits beyond the roof. I decided to make mine a slant back some many months ago, so got the cargo bulkhead instead. You probably could saw down some sponsons if you wanted to but I would wait until you have the bulkhead ready.

The sad thing is that HEMTT's are so hard to come by, even if you have money, especially in that kind of condition. Yeah its his truck and he can do whatever, but you would not be saying that if he wanted to be buried with a priceless work of art, would you? That truck may not be a work of art...

What's wrong with the bows on the M35? Did you use bamboo or something?

If you are building a 1151 you might want to do what I did. First, a lot of the armor is available if you look hard enough. Secondly, do a search for "m1151 walk around" and you will find lots of nice pics that were meant for modelers but good for hmmwv builders just the same. If you notice...

That's true. In fact, if the tires go below a certain pressure, the CTIS, even if working properly, will not inflate the tires. You will need to manually inflate the tires first, and then the CTIS if hooked up will adjust the pressure equally.

Do you think these are just take-offs once armored cabs were installed?

Doesn't that speaker get in the way of can mounted Rifle racks?

USAA never fails.....

Thanks!
