How To: Restoration of Ford M8 armoured car US Ordnance number 7373

[Big D]

Hi James P,

Thanks for that. I have the front springs ready to bolt to the hull but I am awaiting the availability of a crane in the workshop to position the hull a bit better so that I can mount the springs and axles. We didn't really have the workshop set up properly when the hull was dropped off after painting so we'll organise this first.

The front axle just needs the hubs reassembled and the brake lines on it done before it can be bolted to the springs. The intermediate and rear axles still need some work before I can fit them.

So, timewise.....perhaps the next couple of months? Fingers crossed.
