    All the Armour bits are worth a good sum to those with White's missing them , shame the roller has been cut off , still as its been said all of it is worth saving .

    Perhaps if you were to use a hot air gun and or mild paint remover in addition it would be worth a try , sometimes those wire brushes alone can do more harm than good.

    In post #8 the lower left hand side photo of the WC with the machine gun mounted on the front bumper .... I have found the caption that went along with the photo originally the photo was taken during one of the WW2 training exercises. Second Army Tennessee Maneuvers. 3 miles west of Watertown. As an addition to the battalion's defense, HQ Co. of the 5th Armd Maint Bn developed an idea thought up by Ordernance Sgt. Magazine. The 37mm gun is the only field weapon alloted for the battalion's defense. To increase firepower, a 50 cal. Machine gun was mounted on the front of the 37mm gun vehicle. All parts were made and mounted by HQ personnel. (6 Jun 43) Signal Corps Photo: 164-0012-43-204 (Pvt. J. F. Albert)

    I thought this was the best place to post this if not please shift it . I found this link to a site that list's each of the aviation safety reports on aircraft including DC3's and C47's lost and damaged due to a verity of factors .while its not the same as finding a aircraft thats restorable , it will answer the question as to what has happened to it http://aviation-safety.net/database/type/type.php?type=210

    the middle axle is in place as you can see a bit of the mid axle tire in post # 22 so chances are the all the axles are in place and those on top have nothing to do with the vehicle .
