Wow...looks like you have a good bit of work there.  And I think I'm just a little envious!  ;D

 Thanks for the comments. Its been a dream of mine since I was about twelve to have a stable of armored horses. I have really enjoyed several restoration threads posted here and elsewhere.Thought I would post a line up and add shots as they progress. My tracks will probably fall short of the amazing quality exhibited on some of these threads but I am wanting to get my tracks in the dirt. So a few dings and scratches will be in evidence.

 Holy smokes! I have up to now only heard rumors of this group of halftracks lost in a jungle. Now photographic proof!
 Excellent :)

Some of you do way better at posting photos. And some of you make more progress in a month than I seem to in a year. I am inspired by your progress. I hope to have My M4A1 and M16 at Topeka this year.

M16 gets weapons mount M45. Local wrecker company brought their M900 series 5-ton to do the lift.
