I like the "open door" policy for display (hood and doors open).

It's handy for the people who want to see (and you know everybody wants to), and it also reflects professionalism for rally standards; good stuff. [thumbzup]

Zelda was put through her paces this weekend. Followed 2 Hellcats what an off road adventure. Add in a Stuart, a Panzer 3, 2ea. 222 Armored cars. It was a hoot The Hellcats are very fast! I hope this video link comes through.

"Loud-and-Clear" on the link, battlecr, and your half-track is amazingly quiet; I wouldn't have expected that.

I love that your camera is mounted on the gun; excellent:

- Is that a .50 caliber?

- And just curious, but what range are you zeroed-in on the sights for that gun!?

It's been a busy summer, had Zelda out to the car show at the local high school last weekend. 4 miles from the house so drove her there. Had a great time, lots of interest. Took second in the 1940 to 1949 class. That was a plus! Lots of compliments from the other owners.

Second Place is terrific and congratulations!

But in regard to those judges:

- Come ON; what can possibly top a WWII Half-track for goodness' sake!!???

I am presuming First Place went to alternate armor in the form of a Panzer V "Panther", because otherwise I'm not convinced.

Thanks for bringing this piece of history all the way back. After seeing George C. Scott riding in one in Patton it became my favorite MV, and one day if I hit the lotto I just might.............

Zelda had another busy weekend. She was at Camp Rilea on the Oregon Coast. Last event for the year before she heads to the barn for some maintenance and more upgrades. She preformed flawlessly. My Friend was driving and it was Awesome watching her move up and engage the enemy. Someone took this Awesome picture!

I need to finish the radio wiring and install the intercom system. Also modify one my radios for the FSR frequencies. Need get the brake booster rebuilt. Purchase another fuel tank so have 2 instead of just one. Also need to modify my windshield armor so it will close properly. Got another gas 5o to build. Also after the first of the year I start on Halftrack #2 It will be an M21 Mortar Carrier. (Yeah I know I'm nuts)
