    form 6 questions

    Form 6 must be for a specific vehicle you have decided to buy. You can't do a blanket form. Serial number/VIN is required as well as source of purchase.

    Question for thining rapco paints

    I have used both spirits and Xylene on over 20 vehicles with equally good results. The biggest trick to doing a good job is to relax and take your time. Do your prep, make certain everything is clean and primed if bare metal. Good quality metal primer is essential.

    I need help v-100 ownership

    Actually that's a common recovery story and if true, you are likely in the clear. The problem with anything like this is if it "disappeared" from some installation or PD and it is on a list. Some were legally and illegally pulled off target ranges. Still others were legally and illegally sold...

    I need help v-100 ownership

    I have owned 5 V-100s. The first thing is confirm where they got it. No guessing. Without a paper trail, you will always run the risk, however small, of serious problems, even having it taken. Being an E2 is a big plus in your favor as most in private hands are E2 models.

    M50A1 Ontos, good buy? Any way to convert to 4bt or 6bt cummins diesel?

    The beauty on the Ontos' track is that the actual rubber track portion can be replaced using modern heavy duty conveyor belt material. as long as you have original track sections to unbolt the metal parts you're good to go.

    CVR(T) FV103 Spartan VS. Hotchkiss 22-2 Schützenpanzer help

    Neither are tanks, they are APCs, so the concept of frontal armor vs. the rest of the vehicle is totally moot. The threat to an APC is from all sides and top. Forget about stopping a .50, especially modern AP. Regarding a Hotchkiss, keep in mind any armor you get directly from a German collector...

    CVR(T) FV103 Spartan VS. Hotchkiss 22-2 Schützenpanzer help

    If you are really wanting to run it, don't ever buy anything you can't get parts. You will not get parts for the Hotchkiss. If milage is a concern, don't buy armor. Short of a full MBT, nothing will stop a .50. Don't buy over width unless buying a MBT. It will be a constant restraint. Properly...

    Military tents?

    There are step by step instruction on the lid of the frame bag. If you don't have that, let me know, I will photograph mine. Pretty straightforward, really. Easy for two. I love mine.

    M50A1 Ontos, good buy? Any way to convert to 4bt or 6bt cummins diesel?

    If you go with the original Mopar, it has to be the M-75, not just a civilian 361 big block. The M-75 has a longer crank with an extended flange for the transmission.
