Thanks. This is one of those projects that just go on forever. Ya know how it is you get a lot done then something comes up and nothing for a month or two. Driving me crazy, but i hope to have enough done to offer it at Findlay(or take offer). If some one wants to see different/better angles of unibody const. just ask.

Natem, now I am depressed (one year). I have an A2 that I disassembled in 2001.
I know all about sidetracked. I think I invented sidetracked. I am almost finished with the welding.
Part of my problem is I am not 30 anymore.
How is your progress?

Hello General:
I love your collection. Shoot together we have a small Army. I was looking through my manuals for a 5 ton poster question, and I ran across a TM. Did I see an MKT in your lineup? The TM is TM-10-7360-206-13 KITCHEN, FIELD, TRAILER MOUNTED MKT-75, MKT-75A & MKT-82. Dated 1 JUNE 1984. Like new too.
I think this TM has found a new home!
Anyway good to hear from you. I hope all is well with you. PM me sometime and lets swap stories.
Also if you want the TM, I will get to you. I work in Columbia and all over the state.
Thanks, Pvt Hotdog

The 151 is looking good. Your photos show a week spot in the design. And you are very right about that. When I was in germany, I jumped a 151a2 off the ground after going into a hole in the road where an m60 tank had wallowed out. When I hit the ground the 151 broke right in front of the rear tires. The body was touching the ground. You talk about a professional butt chewing. My first sergeant had me on crap detail for months.

Those 1stSGT just don't understand do they? Man they can get bad with the butt chew outs. I can say that I needed everyone of them. I spent a lot of time on S*#T burner detail,............ not good!
Thanks for sharing your life, Pvt. Hotdog

Well I got back in shop today, just a couple of hours. Sorry no new pics I only sanded plug welds and planed the next step or two. I really need to spend more time at it just for the distraction if nothing else. Hope to accomplish something this week and get some pics up.

One piece at a time, ya know the Johnny Cash song. That's what sticks in the back of my mind as I work some time's. It took him 20yrs to get his Caddy. :cookoo: The small parts take the longest time to fix. I think I have twenty hours in these.
