[MuleMac01]

Just thought I might get some more votes. here are some pictures of my mule in action!!..

Ok. Another add for tank driver, and no I don't know him but if you think about it even comparing to the guys with tracks this is the only vehicle in the list no matter your bank account you couldn't find 20 of! And back to my earlier point holy cow it's a dodge that runs lol.

 

[Blueduce]

Back on her own 10 feet again. I finally traded out her old worn out 9x20's for the beefier 11x20's. Wow, what a difference. Took her on her first test drive this afternoon and all seems well. It was quite literately a cloud of dust and a hardy high ho Silver. There was enough blast media still hidden in the nooks and crannies to build a volleyball court. If I can manage to drag myself out of bed early again tomorrow morning the stenciling should be done by this time tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

I wanted to take this time to thank all my friends who supported me through this project. I need to especially thank Mark W. Charlie G. Connor M, Mark G. and Ed F. for there continued support and time volunteered to get her done. Couldn't have done it without ya fellas.

 

[OPCOM]

Hi all, wish I had more time to hang around!

Looks awesome, Blue, so you got my vote this month. I'll be interested to see how your paint holds up. I used Rapco semi-gloss also, but it faded after about 3 months. Water spots really bad too- hope yours holds up better.

Finally had a cool enough morning to get most of the stenciling done. Also spent half the evening getting all the tape off the windows or rather my buddy Connor did. She's starting to look like something now..

For all those who are wondering NO 1AD as a unit was not deployed to Vietnam. There was a subset from 1AD that went over with 5ID but Old Ironsides never deployed. These bumper numbers are from my old unit. I was 1AD 3/77 AR in Mannheim Germany when I first enlisted back in 92'.

The tail lights you see hanging are the plastic ones and got torn up during removal. They where so old and brittle they where not worth saving. New set on the way. I will also be replacing my front composts as well for the same reason.

One more early morning for the hood numbers, hood star, and drivers side stencils. The headache rack and troop seats will have to wait a few more weeks for install till the paint cures.

I was torn between SETOYOTA and augdog1964. I chose the one with a cannon...

 

[zout]

It just would have been a dis-honor to not vote for whom I nominated - so.
It would be great to have a month of just CUCV's running it off - its hard to put these in with the big dogs. Just my .0 worth.

Looks great- no need to rush things at this point!

I hope that I get 1 vote opcorn: but its ok just fun to even get to list it.
I will try to maybe have my "new toy" M 984 next time.

 

[Augdog1964]

Ok, so I didn't know campaigning was required! LOL

Here's a vid of the Walker at play!

This was a tough month to choose just one! I was really torn between Tankdriver's WC63 and Blueduce. I ended up going with the deuce because of how quickly it was transformed, but I still want a WC63 like Tankdriver's!

 

[MuleMac01]

Sad thing is my mule with a 66mm LAW can take out that tank and hide in the tree line and never been seen .... vote for the little guy lols

 

[Augdog1964]

Yeah voting was based on how you can take a unit out... forgot that...

LOL

 

[Robo McDuff]

I am doing like PB last month; just waiting till the last moment, lull everybody in a sense of victory, and then do a blitzkrieg campaign from behind the field.

For those wanting to vote now already, here is another picture I "found" of Dave's truck. Pay attention to the words on the back of the trailer. Not just a guy restoring and doing something with MVs but also honoring what they stand for.



Bring out the vote!

Edit: in this copied pic, you cannot much see what is written there, here is a link to a better version

 

[Robo McDuff]

Bump

Three thanks but no extra vote yet.

Common people, 79 members online, don't tell me you all voted already?

If not,

​

Actually, vote for DaveP's truck. Click the link and it's the third option from the top, easy to find, no need to scroll down or look, just put you cross there and vote.

 

[patracy]

I think Augdog's tank could make DaveP's tanker go boom

Yeah...but the tank couldn't go far without the tanker...could it??

 

[patracy]

He has a tank. Your argument is irrelevant!
