Fasttruck, I can't make out the name on the front of that V, can you identify it? Cheers

Here are Captain America and Captain America II, (pic 1 and 2 are the same machine) was either of these yours? All are reportedly from 1971, the info in the captions is what was associated with them on the internet. Cheers

Welcome back Jeff! My project is still struggling along at the rate of a speeding glacier, but I am getting there. Soon! Driver, far left is "Unexpected", second from right is "The Grim Reaper". There are some decent individual pictures of those two in post 35 on this thread. Still haven't...

Cool, thanks. I had rather figured any difficulties would be from the long shafts between the shifter and the transmission itself. The shifter in mine is all put back together and re-installed, but other stuff had been pulled out again (like the radiator), so I still haven't driven it. I'm...

Welcome aboard Rich. As Sam said, we would love to see your pictures. :jumpin: Anything else about them you would like to share would be welcome too. It is one thing to preserve the vehicles, and quite another to preserve their history and that of their crews. We get things from books like...

Beautiful car Jeff! Is the artwork on the door from the original Worm, or is that your own creation? It would look very nice on a V. Cheers

Excellent. We have a modeling section here, why don't you start a thread there (so we don't hijack Jeff's anymore) and share what you have done so far? I would like to see your work, I'm sure many others would too. Cheers

Quick side bar here- Shane, I gather you are building the Hobbyboss kit, so by now you have figured out how inaccurate their V100 interior is (seems to be based on V150 and maybe some photo misinterpretation?). If that stuff is important to you, check out David Doyle's V100 Walkaround book for...

Very interesting, that is the only Vietnam era Army V100 I have ever seen camo'ed. We will have to make sure Earl sees this, he wanted to do camo on his. Driver, you have some excellent pictures, keep posting! Cheers

Fantastic pictures Driver, thank you for posting them. And Jeff, I am really looking forward to your pictures. There are just so many details to be found on "in service" photos, like the sirens, extra equipment, white tow rings on Flash, etc. Even the dates on the edge of the photo are...

As regards nose art on my V, I am still struggling with myself over final paint job, ie what point in my vehicle's history do I want to represent? I do know that the beast in the attached picture is going to be painted on the turret hatch. My younger son spotted this on the nose of an Apache at...

Here is one from the 504th that I have as wallpaper on my computer. Date on this one is 1970, always liked that dragon. The little windshield added for the driver is interesting too. Jeff, I will email you about two damaged V's. I don't want to post the pictures of those. Earl, I am really...

Okay Jeff, here is two thirds of your wish granted! The one on the far left is "Unexpected", the one second from the right is "The Grim Reaper". I haven't found the the one second from the left. I thought picture 3 was it, but looking closer I see it isn't. I can't make out the name...

Thanks, that answers a lot of questions. I had heard the M73s were troublesome. My turret traversing gear isn't in yet, but I did get to spend some time in another restored V. I had wondered at the time how much practice it would take working that wheel to get coordinated enough to be good...

Well Jeff, we will gladly look at the pictures again if you will tell us about them! :-D Did y'all use the turret guns much? It seems a lot of effort went into mounting other weapons on the vehicles and I see a lot of pictures of V's with the turret guns covered. I understand the obvious...

Jeff, those are great! I've seen pictures of Catch 22 before, cool to now get details from someone who actually crewed it. And little details, like the black in the paint (which explains why some of them look so dark) and the 'trim' on the wheels/tires, that you can provide from personal...

Welcome aboard Jeff. "Interested" doesn't even begin to describe how much I/we would like to see your pictures, trust me. I am currently restoring one of your old warhorses- http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?t=23235 Several other guys on here are doing so, or have done so. So...
