New M2 White on Ebay
« on: September 16, 2018, 06:32:05 PM »
So...…. is it just me or does the back of it look too high?  More hotrod than halftrack?  Anyway.... also seems.... well  WAAAAAY overpriced, no?

Wonder where they got the 1939 build date? Sounds like they put a lot into it. The rear armor is no where near correct. Maybe around 35?

how do you put THAT much money and work into a halftrack and have it come out looking like a jacked up hot-rod roadster?

There is so much wrong with this one.  Front roller, rear door, rear armor bed mounting(2x4s or lots of tubing crossmembers?), windshield armor, throttle and choke linkage, distributor that I see at quick glance.  Since he was making all this stuff anyway, it would be no harder to make it correct than just winging it.  Strange.

The hood number is a hoot. He must have found the plans to restore it in the same place.
