Had Zelda out the field again this last weekend! ;-)

Here is just a cool picture of her up at Camp Adair Oregon. Did I tell you I love driving my halftrack?????

And some of us love seeing her every chance we get. Your half-track is fine!

Had Zelda at a fund raiser for Branches of Valor last weekend. They help Vet's and first responders with PTSD. Was on display with some other vehicles in our club.

I like the "open door" policy for display (hood and doors open).

It's handy for the people who want to see (and you know everybody wants to), and it also reflects professionalism for rally standards; good stuff. [thumbzup]

Went to the 107th Rhody Days Parade on the Oregon Coast last weekend. This was Zelda's first Parade a few years ago when first got it running. She's a busy girl this month!

Zelda was put through her paces this weekend. Followed 2 Hellcats what an off road adventure. Add in a Stuart, a Panzer 3, 2ea. 222 Armored cars. It was a hoot The Hellcats are very fast! I hope this video link comes through.

"Loud-and-Clear" on the link, battlecr, and your half-track is amazingly quiet; I wouldn't have expected that.

I love that your camera is mounted on the gun; excellent:

- Is that a .50 caliber?

- And just curious, but what range are you zeroed-in on the sights for that gun!?

battlecr · Jun 2, 2015

Zelda is up ahead the camera was mounted on a Jeep. I think it was 50 cal. I'm using a Friends Gas gun on Zelda!

It's all terrific either way you slice it. Thanks a million for the video!

A new addition to Zelda, new radio box. The radio goes in for repair and testing next week! Should be very cool.

It's been a busy summer, had Zelda out to the car show at the local high school last weekend. 4 miles from the house so drove her there. Had a great time, lots of interest. Took second in the 1940 to 1949 class. That was a plus! Lots of compliments from the other owners.

Second Place is terrific and congratulations!

But in regard to those judges:

- Come ON; what can possibly top a WWII Half-track for goodness' sake!!???

I am presuming First Place went to alternate armor in the form of a Panzer V "Panther", because otherwise I'm not convinced.

CARNAC · Sep 19, 2015

You would have earned first place in my book.

Thanks for bringing this piece of history all the way back. After seeing George C. Scott riding in one in Patton it became my favorite MV, and one day if I hit the lotto I just might.............

Awesome job on this resto. My bucket list includes a halftrack project...some day...some day...

Zelda had another busy weekend. She was at Camp Rilea on the Oregon Coast. Last event for the year before she heads to the barn for some maintenance and more upgrades. She preformed flawlessly. My Friend was driving and it was Awesome watching her move up and engage the enemy. Someone took this Awesome picture!

I need to finish the radio wiring and install the intercom system. Also modify one my radios for the FSR frequencies. Need get the brake booster rebuilt. Purchase another fuel tank so have 2 instead of just one. Also need to modify my windshield armor so it will close properly. Got another gas 5o to build. Also after the first of the year I start on Halftrack #2 It will be an M21 Mortar Carrier. (Yeah I know I'm nuts)

Thanks, Don G.; and if you will be so kind to post the link to your new thread here, it will spare my Big Behind the chore of reaching for the remote.

I am if you can. Please!?
