Wow!

The M16 has always been one of my favourites!  I'm green with jealousie... nice shop, too!

Looking great Steve. Let me know when you get your parts. Did you do all the under dash wiring before you mounted the cab?

yes, i had the dash wiring all done before i mounted it. that sure would have been a nightmare trying to do wiring after it was installed. i did have to get in there recently for something, shifters in the way, feet straight up in the air  ???

That's awesome. I can do that with a jeep or truck, but man, a track is a whole new ball-game. Especially an m16. What are you doing for M2s? Please say 4 nfa guns. That track needs them.

im not sure what im going to do for guns iron bender. i think i may try to make my own, there is a post in the weapons section of the G that has detailed info on how to make them. then i have to figure out the propane or acetylene setup.
