New toy - started YouTube channel for it - CVRT

[MikeMikeMike]

After over a year of research, and saving and planning and checking in I have finally obtained a CVRT fv103 Spartan. I wanted one in good working order but not so good that I felt like I had to restore it exactly to original. Also I like to work on vehicles and if it was all done up already I’d get bored of staring at it after a while. This one is going to take a manageable amount of work and I’m also planning on adding some non-military amenities like a camera system for visibility. I’ve set up a YouTube channel to kind of document the journey if anyone is interested. Steel Wheel Works is the name Because, well, all my vehicles happen to have had steel wheels... except this one I guess as the whole thing is aluminum. Hmm. Anyway, I’m having fun with it And just In time for corona quarantine lockdown

That is very cool. I am trying to get a buddy to get a CVRT. He has a ferret currently.

Thanks! I’ll keep posting videos. Let me know in the comments how I can make them better. I’m not exactly a YouTube expert

I’ve got all the justifications memorized as I’ve been reciting them to my wife for the past year

Thanks all. So far so good. It’s running well and I’ve been working on it daily so far. Got the gas tank out last night. Meh all my photos orient weird, just tip your computer monitor over to the right

The guy that i bought this one from has another that just arrived in the states. It’s the command version with a more spacious crew area with the modernized Cummins diesel. It’s sitting in Vegas now. He’s doing $40k for that one. It looks to be a lot more complete and finished than the one I bought.

Just watched your current Youtube video.....try Citrus Strip http://www.citristrip.com/product .

I used it to strip 30+ years of multi layer enamel.....worked like a charm (brush it on real heavy, let it sit for a couple days). Needs to be 60+ degrees for best results......then scrape or wire brush off.
