Hi Tom,
When I found your thread, I was keen to have a good look at it.
But all the pictures have become unavailable, on my screen anyway.

I have seen this before as some photo hosts seem to have a use-by date.
Could I ask you to re-post your pictures, please? Yes, this is a big job, but much of your information is difficult without the original pictures to look at.

I hope you are having a nice Christmas season.

Sam.

Try it again it looks like most of them are still there.   Maybe my picture hosting site was down for a while.  If you still can’t see them pm me and I can send them to you.

For all those working on an M2 halftrack I just wanted to bump this back to the top. This is Tom's M2A1 and he did a fantastic job restoring it. There is a lot of good info in this thread. Start from the beginning. You won't be disappointed. ;D

Thanks for bumping this Steve. I’ve referred to Tom’s posts many, many times while working on my M2A1. It’s all very good info.

Thanks for the compliments Steve - I would never have finished my halftrack without help from you and many other members on this site.    I would be more than happy to help anyone who has questions concerning the restoration of an M2 halftrack.    My track will be at the MVCC meet in Plymouth, CA in April if anyone wants to see it in action.

I'm thinking about going up there since I can't make MVPA in Findlay in May. I'd love to see your half track in person. As Steve said, there's a lot of good info in your posts and they've been a big help to me. Thanks!
