M43 Santa Run Ghostdrivers place of employment decided to help out a young solider's family with some Christmas presents. The delivery sleigh was Ghostdriver's M43 "Faith". Here is a photo of the present loading followed by Mr. & Mrs. Santa arriving at the young soldiers home (he was home for...

ressurection displayed Ghostdriver has managed to get her M43 out to be seen. Here are a few photos of an elementary school honor the veterans event that the Military Vehicle Collectors of Colorado provided some back ground displays.

And it takes a roll down of the driver's door window plus a dislocatable elbow to get the tire rack loose before you can open the door. Ghostdriver told me that a ride along medic was nessary to help the driver get out of the ambulance,

Few quick photos from the start of the air show.

Ghostdriver has a couple of litters in the back (one has a pair of pants, John Deere ranch jacket and some old Justin boots all stuffed with paper and a plastic pumpkin head dummy for a rider). She has other issues like an oil pressure gauge that works off and on and seat cushions that need to...

Ghostdriver splashed in 9 gallons of gas and drove "Faith" (her M43) to the Rocky Mountain Airshow around noon. It ran well and was able to reach 50+ mph in spots. The carb seems to be idling a bit fast after the more than hour drive. I think we can knock 50 to 100 rpm off the idle when it...

More progress on the Restoration The carb got a rebuild today with a kit from Boyce. Paint has been added in a few places. Ghostdriver discovered new cans of paint did not mix to quite the same color using the old paint ratios. Trifocals do not work well when laying out straight lines with...

70 Deuce, Thanks for the links!!! Much better than stealing photos off the club website.

Some perloined photos of Ghostdrivers M43 at last weekend's Military Vehicle Collectors of Colorado Camp Out before a Convoy to the Elizabeth Stampede Rodeo Parade. As you can see, she had help cooking the hamburgers.

Zout, Ghostdriver told me she was impressed by all the finger prints around the bullet holes after the parade. There was a lot of "checking it out" that took place. She took it by a Senior Citizen's home after the parade and one of the guys there was a Marine with Korean conflict time...

It was really something to have the last minute glitches she did. The last minute rush included installing a rotary vane 24 volt electric fuel pump and a carb take down assembly with float and seat re-adjustments. It turns out the mechanical double action fuel pump check ball decided to not...

After the pause report I think Ghostdriver is pretty pumped. On the way to the Parade, she managed to pull away from my M220 a bit on the highway. Engine is really strong. While not finished, she and the guys managed to get things far enough along to show well in the parade. The Commerce City...

More pictures of getting ready (pictures of Ghostdrivers M43, but we are working on the M220, M35a2, M818 and M817 as well) for the Memorial Day Parade. Our club works to make this event have what we call the long green float.

a video ~~~~~ Poolboy and Jeff worked late last night ~~~ can't open the hood right now, Ghostdriver is waiting for the paint to tack up. Will proceed with more paint, carb adjustment and cam breakin this afternoon. Have stencils in hand. Expect yellow drab identification because it is a USMC...

Progress showing Ghostdriver and her crew of helpers have been hard at it getting together for the Memorial Day Parade in Commerce City, CO. Attached are a few recent pictures that show a splash more paint. A few bolts are left to install on the front clip and a run to the store for additional...

Well, the steady rain most of yesterday finally faded away in the darkness. This morning we have mostly clear blue sky except for a big thunderhead building up off to the NE. If the sunshine holds out most of the day the farmyard should get firm enough to move vehicles around. I got a call from...
