And the progress shall continue...LOL

HK: Looking good, almost like a MUTT. I’m seeing so many differentials, is the racer going to be a 6x6? :P BTW, well done.

Mark,
you are certainly digging into the past with this.

The man you are looking for is or was Bleddyn Cynfin (Welsh name). I think he passed away years ago but his son Nate carried on for a while, then disappeared from the MV boards.

Here's his ultra-modified M151A2 with solid axles.

Good Lord! THAT thing again!!!!! Many, MANY years ago he had a temper tantrum and he took a lot of his posts and deleted them which rendered threads they were in useless. I was not running the site at that time or I would have just deleted him and all of his content since it was all useless at that point. As it is today as well. All in favor of elimination?

And I just realized this is on the 503 so I am still not running the site. He did the same thing on the g838. I am pretty sure most of that content is gone.
