You guys are doing a great job, keep the pictures coming. My perimeter rail had a series of welds attaching it to the armor plates also.

Very nice job. Most of my projects have been low budget jobs. Makes you more ingenious ?. We just did 3 sets of CCKW tires. We cut out a chunk like you did, but then got a big sharp chisel, and a big hammer and cut the beads. Then the tire pretty much falls off. Still a lot of hard work.

Nice work there. I remember doing my tires,not fun.I can feel the shrinking budget, took me 10 years to get where I’m at.

Nice job, I see you took the hood latch off.  What size are the rivets for attaching the latch to the armor piece?  Thank you and again really nice job.

I'm not really sure.  I just picked what fit the hole the best.  I'll try and look nest time I'm in the shop if I can remember.

Made some more progress.  We got the final exterior and interior paint done and started some stenciling.  Lastly, there is a very short video of me driving down the street and into the driveway with our close friend standing in the back.  He is a prankster.  He's also the one that painted the name on our halftrack.

Who did your canvas work?

Shon got the seat cushions from jeepest.com.  We are seriously impressed with their quality and affordability.  Here's a direct link ->  https://jeepest.com/gb/armored-m3-half-track/4303-cushion-seat-half-track-or-general-use-replica.html?search_query=half+track&results=59

All of the seat backs, Shon sewed up himself.  He's quite the homemaker in his off time.
