Your halftrack project has certainly helped me along with my own project. Just hoping that mine will look as good as yours when I am finished.
Just waiting for the day when I first fire it up and the first time I get to drive it. :D

Well what do you do on a 90' day? If your me you decide to install your perimeter rail :roll: What an interesting project. Lots of drilling. I'll try to get some shots tomorrow.
