Summer is starting! Zelda at the 107th Rhody Days Parade. This was her very first parade after I got kit running! She's a Veteran now!

Okay, here's a video clip of the first morning convoy, this was taken from a jeep that was following us.

Well been down for knee surgery (June 24). Been getting pretty restless, the boss took pity on me and helped me install my radio box in the halftrack. The radio it's self heads to the shop next week. Found a guy in town who repaired them when he was in the service. Still have all the wiring to do but excited to get it up and running.

I'm lucky the Boss doesn't mind helping now and again. Thanks To Steve I have the installation manual, its a help, but not a big help. I had to modify and add spacers. There are some critical measurements you have to maintain, due to the antenna pockets in the canvas ;)

Took Zelda to a car show at the local High School. 4 miles from the house so I drove it there. Ended up taking Second in the 1940 to 1949 class It was lots of fun and lots of interest from the other owners.

Hay Don, she looks great! I see your next to an old Chevy truck like mine and it's green! ;D I need to get that done one of these days. Congratulations on second place.
