Re: Pictures from Fil Bonica
The first two belong to my family. The third one belong to my friend Dave Wiesner aka tankermanm60.
We put it together and got it running in short order.
It's interesting to note that all three are late issue A2s. 78 or later.

Damn nice to see those baby's Fil, just as beautiful as a sun set on a beach in the Tropics!
Everyone forgets I am Jewish and from time to time I do get over to Israel, where a whole bunch of M151A2's are still all over the place I always rent one to drive around Jerusalem, next time I get over their, I will see if I can locate a Junk yard, Israel does not demil MUTT'S!
And in the Desert nothing rusts!

Re: Pictures from Fil Bonica
If I can arrange with some friend maybe we can get a display of about ten Mutts on display at once.
Hopefully when things thaw out around here.

On second thought let's take out the runner and try that one in the snow .
The only bad thing is that it has NDCC tires.
