Great looking ride!!
Congratulations! That is a great looking ride! I am restoring a 1968 M35A2 back to a 'Nam look. I too have the M66 ring to go on it, and to add to the comments of the previous posts, I have a cab plate coming to go on the cab.
Are you putting a gun on it?
We never should have stopped using F4 Phantoms...
We never should have stopped using F-4 Phantoms. Yes, upgrade it as the years went by, but it would still kick the behind of much of what is out there in bad guy air forces.

She was called 'Lil' Red" years ago by her friends...

Military sleeping mat foam
I am redoing all of the cushions in my M35A2 restoration and plan to use layered USGI sleeping mat foam. I will cut the layers roughly to size, then use spray adhesive to glue the plies together. I will then put a board on top of them and then add some books or...

Hello France!
I just returned from France last night, spending some time in Lyon and Grenoble. Do not worry about the language issue. Many of us in the US have not mastered English.
Great news
