Well, next one in line.... They finished my 57mm... Now they have started on my M5 3" Hope it turns out as well as my 57mm did.......

Every once in a while they will find something, but not that I know of in the last few years, but still worth the trip to see the place.

Millington TN Air Show Oct 18th & 19th is the next one..... http://memphisairshow.org/ Memphis Equipment has basically always been post WW2.

Was set up at Halls TN Air Show last weekend really good show. Weather was a perfect temp during the whole weekend. Wind was a little strong, but felt nice. AND to start it off, the best photo I have ever taken.......

Loaded up and ready for Halls TN USA Air Show.... Performers: - Yankee Air Force, Inc. - Tennessee Museum of Aviation - Valiant Echoes - Ralph Royce, Air Boss - Lake City Aero - Jim Tobul Airshows - Wings of Gold - Gene Soucy Airshows Dyersburg Army Air Base is an inactive United States Air Force base, approximately 2 miles north of Halls, Tennessee. It was active during World War II as a training airfield. It was closed on 30 November 1945 Dyersburg AAB was the largest combat aircrew training school built during the early war years. It was the only inland B-17 Flying Fortress training base east of the Mississippi River. The base was located on 2,541 acres (10.28 km2), not including the practice range. Approximately 7,700 crew men received their last phase training at DAAB. 114 crew men lost their lives. link

I purchased my WC63 for a guy in the US who was a couple hours from where I live at a decent price. It is ex Norwegian truck. They are out there, you just have to look and be patient. People always are collecting new things, and selling the old things they have.

Here you go.......

Yep, the correct vehicle.....

To start with, please excuse the photos. Very cloudy, and no sun. I'll take some more as I am able. Marshall is a miracle worker. Repo breech is being made........ To start with, a reminder of what I started with........ AND here it is now........ Marshall installed a Israeli lunette ring, and I have the original ring.

Yes I am selling them. I am 61, not in the greatest health, and no where to work on them. I give up...... Finished shield, being installed tomorrow.

Well, final word is I can pick it up on Saturday. I'll get photos of it there, and when I load it up. ....

Thank you.

OK, My vehicles have never had wipers... M5A1 Stuart, M20 armored car, and a half-track never finished. So I need some help.... :red: My WC did not have wiper arms or blades on it when I go it. The Wiper motors were leaking so bad the I had to run about 1/2 choke to keep it running. I picked up 2 motors, got the motors installed, and the engine runs great. I went to install the arms I purchased, and they are too long . Is there a way to make the arm slide up into the larger piece where they can be made shorter? I did a search and did not find anything. Thanks

Well my last piece arrived at Marshall's today. They say it should be ready next week. Plan on picking it up on a week from this Saturday.

Went to Louisville KY yesterday, to pick up a few parts for my WC63 I just got. Ran into several friends, that I have not seen in a while, That was good. They had the M5a1 Stuart tank, I used to own outside. That was bad, I hated to sell it. Jon Shoop was there with it. Good to see him again. They did a nice job on the restoration on it. Midwest was not there, and Vintage did not bring any parts, but I did get the new catalogue from them. I picked up a Ethanol safe NOS fuel pump, that they put new parts in. Got a horn button kit, a rear view mirror and mount, that mounts on the windshield. Also 2 Army Motors, one Sept / Oct 43 that covered the release of the "new" WC63, and one from 1945 that shows the WC63 on the cover. BUT they were sold out of 34087 Olive Drab paint. So now I will have to order some. All in all a good trip.

Latest email photos on 57mm restore..... Mine's in the back ground.

Yep, that was the reason I purchased it. I have 2 junk halftracks, but at my age, and health, I will never get them finished, So I purchased a running WC63 to use....

Here's a couple of photos of how they are doing........

Small things, rebuild carb, with ethanol safe parts, replace glass in windshield, wiper motors, wiper arms, bed floor, wire harness, probably. Also, seat cushions, and back pads. And looking for a M24A3 50 cal mount. To start with.

Yea he is ONE of a kind........ And they call the WC63 The BIG Dodge.......:-D

Sorry.... ATG = Anti Tank Gun..... Yes it came off a firing range, still has bullet holes in the trails. Also it has been run over by some thing large and heavy, tank or APC, as it bent a 3" diameter pintle pin on the bottom of the cradle. It is missing the breach, and ring. I have found, and purchased most anything else that was missing. On this one, the term "Gun" is correct.

This is my buddy, Bobby, and his semi, and low boy at hishouse......

Well went to pick up my New to me WC63 today. My buddy owns a semi and lowboy, so here are my photos of us picking it up, and getting it to his house........ Serial number is 2011814 Loading up.....

Well, after a long wait, I finally am having my ATG restored. This is what I started with..... Coming Home....... What I got.....
