    Lost and Found, a 50+ year journey

    Here is a photo of a friend of mine named Ronnie Gay right after we received the Blood Sweat and Tears V100. Being a retired law enforcement officer himself, he was always interested in our projects here at the shop, and this former police vehicle was no exception. A natural story teller, Ronnie...

    Lost and Found, a 50+ year journey

    Cleaning up a bit around the shop and ended up giving the V100 a sponge bath. Still searching for some Vietnam era photo's of this machine while it served with the 504th MP C company '69-'72 Any help greatly appreciated!

    Lost and Found, a 50+ year journey

    I've been trying to locate a pair of ammo boxes for the restoration of the M73 turret on Blood Sweat and Tears and after finding out how difficult they are to come by I decided we'd just build some. I received a working example from John McDonald who is well known in the V100 community. The...

    Lost and Found, a 50+ year journey

    I had been looking looking for a pair of M73 dummies or parts kits for this restoration, and with parts being difficult to find (since most went to scrap I'm told) we decided to just bite the bullet and make a very limited run of high quality, non-firing replicas. The turret on this Blood Sweat...

    Lost and Found, a 50+ year journey

    Here is an edited photo that shows what the nose art probably looked like sometime 1969-70 while with the 504th MP's in Vietnam. If anyone has a photo of this V100 I would really like to hear from you.

    Lost and Found, a 50+ year journey

    Lost and found, more than 50 years later and after 30 plus years of searching. Honored to be one of the steps in this journey. Many of you know that we will be completing the restoration of a Cadillac Gage V100 that served with the 504th in Vietnam, but what very few people knew was that this...
