Your truck is looking better and better, Andrew!
Assume that there is now soon a complete LRDG Half-Patrol ready to go on a mission in NZ...

Thanks Dinty,
What we lack in skills and experience we make up in determination and bloody-mindedness.
Cheers,
Andrew

They might be suitable, but look expensive. We will make our own I think.

Default Beautiful replicas.......

But ......... how practical-useful are they on a LRDG travelling at 25 mph in loose sand/gravel????

Would they actually divert the air flow away from the driver's face??? or is it just another British tradition like the open "C" cabs with a waist high canvass wrap around for the driver's compartment.

They do look pretty!!!!!

Thanks Kuno,
she is nearly finished now - just a few things left to do, like a proper wiring loom, external condenser, aero screens, tool-boxes etc and we will be working on these things in the weeks ahead.
Regards,
Andrew
