T-16 S/N 5399 T.D. 97377 Restoration

[horsa]

Got the painted fender skirts and mug guards installed and will take the carrier for a test run later today. That way I can see if it performs more aerodynamically

Since I was painting parts last week, I managed to fix my mangled gunner-side fender as well. Took a good bit of work even when straight to make it align with the mud guard and side skirt. Needed to use my floor jack with 4x4 pieces of lumber to coax it into playing nice but it seems to look OK now. Will probably require the floor jack to disassemble it should the need arise in the future.





Also built a part I've been missing from the start. Its the small mounting bracket for the pick head which bolts to the rear armor on the carriers. Forgot to take photos of building it so all I can post is a shot of it installed.
