only my m44a2 missing here and the two motorcycles..but it is still a logistical nightmare getting them all to a meeting..as i have no relief drivers..its all done with a bars folks..and an apprentice (leaning on fire truck wing (sorry fender!)

Wow, looks good! I don't know about an electric winch on the fire truck though.

Need to replace the drivers side axle seal on the fire truck also .

Or it could be a wheel cyl. .
