Fuel tank bases on, no tops yet, or rivets. Shelf for rear side quarter panels, over fender next, as well as a set of rear outer fenders.

Another view, the fuel tanks will be dummy's, and open at top for storage. Safer with underneath fuel tanks. Everyday driver, keeping that in mind. Not too far off for the chassis.

Top of fender shelf cut out ready to install. Finally starting to look like an M2A1, and less like an M3. Bet ya didn't notice, unless you know the lenange. Hoop round fenders will be high on priority, gotta save up money for them , at the moment we can't produce them. So if ya got any extra money send it my way.....

Running boards won't be produced until, we get a chassis started.

Rivets in, fuel tank rim welded in so there dummy's, now can store gear in them instead of wasted space.

More pictures, She's getting heavy with all this 1/4 inch steel. Wonder what gas mileage will be. Oh well , doesn't matter, she's built to enjoy, and show to the younger generation, what the greatest generation, did for us. Wonder what the original parts on her could say to the new steel it took to recreate her, fenders pretty battle scarred. It's a shame for us to straighten them but it is a must to show what we CAN do. It's 1941 all over again, and she's patrolling the hills around Ft Knox. Or maybe on her way to phillipians to be offered up to the early war effert.
