If you carry a stash of these books in the stowage bins, and hang out your shingle at every show and rally you attend, you could move quite a few. Not just to potential fellow restorers, but to general military vehicle buffs and, most importantly to restorers of ANY "interesting" machinery. The methodical processes that you have followed AND documented apply to pretty much any vehicle restoration.

A year or so ago, I picked up a book on how to rebuild "vintage" Bridgeport milling machines. Such a subject may seem a bit esoteric and some may wonder how many copies THAT book shifted. Despite the fact that I don't own a Bridgeport, (yet), I now know a LOT more about some of the pitfalls in buying a "pre-loved" machine AND how to bring one back from the grave, as it were.

Take a deep breath (sans paint and exhaust fumes) and go for it!
