20,000 pounds of fun!! M2A1 Halftrack project

That is very cool, and I agree with Geezer about the value. 3 mpg is probably comparable to tractors that can't go half the places that thing can. I want one too!

Why replace the armor? (The sarcastic in me is replying "It's just too fast" and "Gas mileage is just too good".) Is replacing the armor part of making it a full and complete restoration?

Rouge cows?

Does this one have a continental engine? I know some of those old military trucks used them. I believe you can burn gasoline, kerosene, diesel, or just about any combustible fuel in those things!

Back in WW2 they didnt have that type. Germans had mostly diesel, Americans gas. This is gas

Well the power plasma 50 has done me well. Before and after shots of what I used it to do. The frame had been highly modified after the war for non military use. All the crap welded on top of the original frame had to come off before I can start the restoration and install the floor/rear armor





And finally down to the original frame the way it left the factory in '43

I know that authenticity may be the goal here, but I'd put a Deutz diesel or something in it out of a tractor. Double the mileage at least.

I can think of a few. Resale (originality always brings better bucks!), if i ever want to start a war, or those zombies that have a habit of biting
