Got the driver side ammo locker primed. She's nearing the end folks!

Lately has been alot of little things I've been working on. The driver side ammo locker is in and hinged. (Please excuse the muddy foot prints) The rear section of the bed is pretty much done now.  I will touch up everything with paint once it's nice enough to power wash the halftrack. Luckily I was able to get a new pair of Israeli tracks so those will go on next week. Still need to run a compression test and figure out why the engine is bogged down in high range 3rd and 4th gears. Other than that, dash is coming along nicely. I got data plates from Kevin Lockwood and they look great! This is a strange thing but my track must not have had all the data plates regular ones have because the dash is missing holes for some of the plates including the starter plate. So I guess I'll be drilling holes next week too.  I noticed the longer this restoration takes the less I care about perfect but rather just want to enjoy it and make is look good enough for a working vehicle. I can see the very near end!

Tracks are on! Went for a drive into town today. Interesting fact, took Breezy over to the scale and she weighed (with one full tank of fuel) 12,800. Alot lighter than I thought.
