Cutting the M8 back to the original lenght. Please note the man god that is captain chaos with his second favorite tool. :whistle: Let the sparks fly! I'm on hand with camera and buckets of water. Rear end 'less! Rear end back on. Note the new rear wheel guards. The original would have the strenghtening bars pressed into them. I fabbed these with half tube sections.

She's in good nik really to start with, so it was the usual begining and stip the old girl down to her basics. There were no real great finds in there. I usally find the odd spent 50 or 30 cal shell behind the binocular box, though I did find the US 'vin' plate in a box above the radio deck which was a nice find. As Sharky mentioned she was stretched about 14" to take the steyr engine. We have cut her back to the original lenght (54 & 1/4" from rear of fuel deck to insde the rear end). This M8 is a 1943 model, watch this space for more pics etc. :cool2:

Hi, my names Nick AKA Nitro. I work at Armourgeddon on restoration with a couple of the lads on this forum. I'm about 2/3 rds the way through our M8 greyhound which is the 3rd one in a row that I have restored with help from Sharky. I hope to gain a bit of 'Knowledge' from you chaps as well as give any I have.
