Re: M151A2 #2 - 4 color Desert W/ROPS
Here is the end product. Still some little things to do but....
THANKS for all the kind words. I love this hobby.. 95% of the people in it are GOOD people. I think its because the core of the people who collect and restore this stuff are true Americans that believe in what America was founded on and believe in something other than themselves and greed. OK I digress.....

great job.
say, where did you find a NOS A-2 steering wheel, That is about the nicest one I've seen.

Bob, glad you went back and found these posts, great to see them all again after more than a year. Exceptional restoration.
Dan, did you ever post photos of your FAV?
How is the camo one running after a year?

It makes me feel humble and in awe to see such a finely restored mil vehicle. It truly is a patriotic act.
