Added Autocar M3A1-47715. Converted to M3A1 from M3-75 GMC. Hood number 4017422 stamped into bumper.
Keep up your good work Kevin !

I like seeing my Autocar M15-A1 1904 on the list :D :D

Once I get some jeep restoration done, I will get back to some halftrack work, and change the bogie wheels out.
Also will start working on building up the new armor from Superjeep for the M2A1 project.
I still have some pending parts I need from him to finish collecting all the items I need.



Do you know if any "factory built" M2A1's were built, or were they all conversions from M2's ?

Because I was wondering if they were any factory built, would they have the bolt holes in the side armor for the skate rail that was deleted during conversion ?




Best Regards,
Ray
