'47 Bantam T3-C

Hmmm. Works fine on my side. Logged out of forum and both PC and mobile phone work fine. If anyone else is having the same problem let me know...

So back to the build. Wow. More than 2+" additional height with the new tires!

So I've had a chance to slap the first coat of paint on the tub. While not intentional, it came out rather "military" looking and close to olive drab...but it is "Antiqued Bronze" by Rustoleum.

Really like the wheel/tire combo as I think it looks correct for a 1940's trailer. The tires pull so smooth compared to the old 1970s cupped mud tires that were on it. Lol.

Decided to go really basic on the jerry can holders and bought these for $29 each from Summit Racing. Fortunately I have almost a dozen jerry cans laying around b/c these only work on the "old school" military cans. None of my newer Sceptre plastic, British water, or new fuel cans will latch down securely.

Haven't done anything with the lid yet. Want to figure out a way to smooth out the ripples/waves in the top side of the lid skin (16 gauge steel pulled tight to the lid frame). Will probably re-skin it with a sheet of thicker aluminum. Then will need to spend time prepping and painting the underside of the lid.

Not seeing the picture on my laptop or Note Phone either. Would love to see it. I'm about to build mine. It's been sitting waiting patiently for 5 years.
Wife went tent camping with me this weekend and remembered how much fun we use.to have in a tent before the Class A Motorcoach came along.

Not a single pic works. Maybe the album or whatever is set to private?
