It'll be ready if I have to sleep in his garage helping. Right now he's on schedule and I have been fabricating some pieces here in Tankograd for it also. He wants a more tank like look and agility. We have a painting day and a practice scheduled here at my paintball field before the game there.

As Murdock said at the end of Predator 2: " You'll get your chance......"
Soooo...I'm the .5?

Interglacials are short and then we enter the nasty brutishness of the glacial periods.

According to its builder JagDPanther yes. You can see the marks on the pavement actually. Tank forum on Warpig. Them boys (and girls --Dawn drives the tiger) up north are crazier 'bout tanks than us I'm afraid.

Yes it is nice looking but plauged with potential problems. He built this with the intent to put a suspension in place AFTER he built the drivetrain, Eek! Besides the fact that the first time he does a 90 degree turn he is going to dig up lots of dirt, mud, sand, or whatever and shoove it into the treads and snap them off. It looks cool and I wish him luck but I just don't know. He sure is trying though \
IMO
