Default Update on Project

Finally did a little work on the carrier so wanted to share the latest pics. Motivation was my son's high school class wanting to use it as a prop for their homecoming parade float. So, I finished the perimeter metalwork, primed and painted it and then just junked it up a little so it would look like a battle vehile - not freshly painted.

The white eagle is the school logo. Probably cover over it at some point, but it looks pretty cool I have to admit.

I'll post some pictures of the float as soon as I get some.

Next on the agenda:

1. Fabricate up the air inlets & engine covers. I had all of those panels cut last week and have measurements from Jordan. Just need some time.
2. Also, I'm upgrading everything to 12v positive ground (late model electronic ignition) and already have all the parts - again, just need time...
3. Need to do a brake job, replace seals and get tracks tensioned correctly while I have them broken

Thanks,
Ross

Default Meant to say 12v NEGATIVE ground

Noticed my typo - of course, I meant I'll be converting to 12v NEGATIVE (not positive) ground...

Default Parade Float Pictures

Just a couple of the parade float pictures that I promised. Thought everyone might like the D-Day theme...
