My pleasure comes from just seeing the owners smiling and driving them.
I believe a few years back we lined up 4 of them in the main field and took a picture...
I have no clue what PapaBear was up to - it could have had something to do with that pinapple cake thingy at the rally - but when he pulled into the truckstop for fuel on the way back - this line of MV MP's were following him.
Few pics that TWM did not have. Almost all the components for the Ambulance were MIA - these all had to be hand fabricated. These pieces are unobtanium - meaning their just not purchased and put them in the M170 to make the ambulance - you have to either have a shop make these for you or do it...
Exhaust came in - had to rebuild the carb and fix a rot hole on the bottom side of the fuel bowl.
Zout2 helped me rope in the windshield so this if finished.
The two metal bars are for fabbing the side curtain fronts for the door opening - finished.

Got a full exhaust but will have...
Ahab...Doc is working on putting it into museums...no fuel or vapor can be in the tank...therefore just running it off an IV for now...but we'll know its right.
March....thank you sir...your appreciation is appreciated. Its only an honor for those that might have served in it or might have been...
Exhaust system ordered this morning along with new clutch return spring. Will get the new windshield glass cut next and Zout2 will assist in handling with my glass suction cups and rope.
Going to clean out the cooling system in the morning and get in antifreeze.
Only a couple small things to...
