[jcappeljr]

Heres some pics of my M35a3,Ive had over 50 mvs, but this is my first a3.I am real happy with it, much nicer to drive than the a2s,I didnt think I would like it.I just picked it up from Meade last tuesday.I put some steps on the front bumper and some European turn signals and repainted it.I am getting some troopseats and a tarp cover at Aberdeen.I still need some more paint to finish the frame and troop seats.

Looks like another artistic Appel creation. Good job John. That is a lot of work for just 5 days from the GL lot to something we all want...

That is one nice looking A3! I see you also have the fiberglass hood. Mine has the crappy riveted hood - I'm jealout. Are you going to take it back camo or leave it green?

 

[jcappeljr]

I was surprised to find the fiberglass hood,I think I am going to keep this one green.

Really nice job John !! I love my A3 as well . I honestly thought I wasn't going to like it as much as I do. I'm rebuilding the steering Air Assist piston now( Mine the seal was shot , and there saying Aug before they could be availabe again. So I'm making up a over the counter fix ) Do you got time to paint a second 1 ?? LOL See ya at Aberdeen !
