Not in the maintenance manual
Guys,
With the engine in limbo, decided to move onto the hull. The floor needs some welding repairs before I haul it off for sandblasting and primer. Rotated the hull so that I can clean and prep the area before tracking down a welder. The cost of rebuilding the original engine escalated to the point where I am trying to track down a more cost effective 239 engine. Some promising leads. Wish me luck, Peter 2015-08-24 12.41.02.jpg 2015-08-24 15.22.14.jpg 2015-08-24 16.26.15.jpg

Motivation
Folks,
Being Labour day weekend, there were several events with great collections of old green iron. Only solution, attend them both. Steam event in Milton on Saturday and Coe Hill and the Skyhawks on Sunday. Got to see some fine iron and network with a great group of people. Brian Asbury's "creation" on the Hawk missile transporter is the result of a very fertile imagination. The Alvis Stalwart has always been a personal favourite. Barry Churcher's C15TA and the accompanying White scout car are great examples of their types. Peter 2015-09-05 10.38.27.jpg 2015-09-05 10.41.29.jpg 2015-09-06 12.40.22.jpg 2015-09-06 12.40.14.jpg

I like that first one.
Brian's creation is a great example of building something from something else. I just wonder what it was based on? Or was it just something he cooked up?
Either way I would love to see it at Odessa next year so I can take a look.

Hawk/Panzer
Some Hawk Missile Loaders were sold as surplus in the US about 1988. The Missile racks had been cut off, leaving a running tank-like chassis powered by an M151A2 engine and an automatic transmission. This Hawk/Panzer is based on nothing in particular. There are 3 main plywood modules: main body, front nose and turret which all lift off to reveal an un-modified Hawk loader. The driver position and geometry of the Hawk platform limited the design of the add-on features so a generic tank typical of the mid-to-late 1930's period was created: just a fantasy machine. It was a great opportunity to bolt on a wide assortment of fittings and military accessories that had accumulated in the warehouse.

Nice work
I thought with the wheels it could have been a half scale British Tetrarch.
