I'm old enough that my Dad fought in WW2. He was in the Dixie Division. When I was little, on Saturday night, we watched any war movie on TV, Combat, Rat Patrol, 12 O'clock high, you name it.
I do the Air Shows, Re-enactments, Living History's in his honor, and to honor EVERY vet that has...
Went to Louisville KY yesterday, to pick up a few parts for my WC63 I just got.
Ran into several friends, that I have not seen in a while, That was good. :smile:
They had the M5a1 Stuart tank, I used to own outside. That was bad, I hated to have to sell it. :sad:
Jon Shoop was there with...
Look at it this way....
He has already done a lot of the work for you by stripping it down. Take off a few more items, and it is ready to paint, and start putting it back together. General parts alone could be sold for more than he is asking.
Does the engine run? Are any of the cases cracked...
Do not know the full story. A guy on G503 says he thinks it is a Norwegian import. At has a vintage head bolt block heater on a gas engine, so that fits. Owner I got it from, says he got it from a guy in Kanas. so not sure of the full past on it.

I have purchased a WC63, but do not have it home yet, so I have not posted anything yet, as I am not sure of a whole on it.
Here's a general photo of it. I also have a 57mm like is hooked to it, that is being restored. Hope he will be finished it about 2 weeks. I'm picking up the truck next...
Last tank I purchased was 25,000. Un restored, and not running. A running WW2 tank will set you back about 60,000. That is why I'm playing with junk-halftracks right now. hope to have one finished this year or next year. No work being done right now just buying parts. Anybody who wants to play...
