Nothing new yet, sorry. Parts are still arriving and this week all my drive/idler sprockets for the tracks should be here along with a winch. These winches that are on the halftracks are specific to it, and not easy to find. I did find one in NJ from a dealer, but 3000+ was a bit steep. I found one in California for 1200 along with the other big stuff i needed. The rear armor is still on order, but no due date.

Out of curiosity, what is a complete and restored M2A1 worth?
Not enough lol.
Ill have 50 k into it, but it will be fully rebuilt new.
They usually go for 20k in average needing work, 50ks in fully restored.
Armor values is continuing to climb though

I wonder if there will be any interest in renting it by the film companies once you are done? There cannot be many around in as-issued WW2 condition.
Renting to film companies is a real joke. I can only speak for the UK but I have a mint and when I say mint, I don't mean a load of filler covered with a quick blow job from an aerosol can either, 1969 ex Liverpool Police Mini Cooper S. There is a quaint Sunday evening programme called 'Heartbeat', about a 1960's Yorkshire village that is all about the nostalgia of the era and a small village police station in the Yorkshire dales. They asked me a couple of years ago if they could hire/borrow it for the programme. Disregarding all of the pious words of care etc etc, they wanted me to deliver it and collect it, a round trip[ of 360 miles, a week later at MY expense and the daily hire fee was, if I remember right, about £23 a day! I declined and they came back and said that there were plenty of others who would loan their care for free, for the publicity. I ask you
DON'T LET THEM HAVE IT ALPACA. Print and sell the books instead!
Yes it is painted green. No it is not indestructable. These are collector vehicles that are 70 yrs old.
Allright, I think I speak for everyone here when I say we need an update!!!
Here, here............
Now that's cool. I look forward to seeing more pics.
Wonderful work on the rig. You truly have talent and dedication.
