Added 2 stretchers today. I had first wanted to secure them across the width of the box, but decided to mount them along the length . Shameless plug for Green Iron Road Wear for the custom straps.

Got to race a HMMWV yesterday with Reaper. Pretty sad that the track officials determined that we only needed a golf cart for a pace car...:confused:

Some pics from inside the gun box today at a car show...

Sad story.... I just read your post to my college intern. She asked, "Whats a cassette tape?"

Browsing YouTube yesterday. Came across War Sounds Radio Chatter. One hour of wartime comms. Can only understand bits and pieces but definitely good enough . The problem is getting it off of YouTube. I also came across soundtracks of music associated with the Vietnam War. I need to figure out...

Ok, I just ordered an RF-5980 housing with a Bluetooth speaker inside. I want to give people a more immersive experience when on board. Now all I need is some military convoy audio recordings. Anyone have any ideas on this? Yes, I'm insane. Just ask my wife...

The tubes are 43" which puts the cradle at 48" where the cradle and socket flanges meet.

Yes. Through the AM-2060 but I'm afraid to turn it on yet. I have visions of it all catching fire.

I have to figure out an easy way to get the small kids high enough to get their hands on them. I had one kid jump and grab the handles. He just hung there probably realizing that it was a dumb idea.

Thank you! And thanks for the help! I still owe you detailed pics inside the gun box. I'll try to get more if this weekends car show doesn't get rained out. Most of the props go back in the house for security and to keep the critters from chewing things up.

Thanks! And thanks again for all the help!

The .50 on the gun ring is from US Replica Gun Company. It's a pretty decent steel replica that will fit any standard cradle. It's currently in a M23 Equilibrator cradle. The other 2 are from Iron Creations. Mostly aluminum. These are also in M23 cradles. Both have pros and cons and are not...

Not 100% complete but good enough for now... I decided not fill the deck with ammo cans due to cost. The extra little stool on top of the demolition box is for kids to stand on to handle the ring gun. These photos taken at a local car show.

Thanks! More detailed pics will follow as I finish up the interior of the gun box. Lots of accessories still to add inside.

Couple of pics from the parades...

Well, I did manage to get the truck parade ready, but I didn't get all the bling done inside the gun box. Radio and VIC-1 are installed except for cab crew box. Somehow I'm a cable short? Anyways, pics inside the gun box will have to wait. These pics are from the staging area before the 1st...

Teaser... Paints done. Looks gray in the photos but it's green.

So, the rail gun I built for it is probably a little over the top? Seriously, it looks rougher than the pictures show. I did use old school glazing putty on the exposed panel edges both for weather protection and to hide the wood. I purposely left it somewhat rough to give the appearance of...

Thanks for the kind words of encouragement! Don't worry, there will be plenty of "rough around the edges". I will still try to hide the wood inside the armor panels as much as possible. Probably nobody would notice, but my OCD will notice. I was able to fit the hatch up today. Even though the...
