M2A1 restoration
« on: September 23, 2014, 03:44:59 PM »
Just starting a M2A1 project. I have watching this website and appreciate the fine details and dedication by this group. Still learning how to post messages, photos, etc. so bare with me. Need a lot of parts. Have stripped it down to frame, ready for blasting in a couple of weeks. Located in Carson City, Nevada. Thanks. Ready to hit "post" and will see what happens!
