with a couple of shows behind us and a challenging overhaul of the collection Alvis Stalwart and CVRT Scorpion behind us, we are now in full resto mode of the '42 M3 !
Notice the USA 40109590 serial # ...in medium blue, that alone makes her a rare old girl , as they only painted that from mid 1942 to early ' 43 ... so much history in my hands
moved from the hangar into the shop with help from our '70 M-35 A2 and a fookin big tractor ... all we needed was a chair and whip to finish getting the unpowered lump lined up !
here she is , ready for the tear down !. I will be adding a ton of pics over the next 18 months of this stage of her life, and mine !
Stay Tuned !
This page takes you into our overhaul and shop spaces for the rebuilding and restoration of rare and unique former military vehicles operated by the Cold War Historic Vehicle Society, based in Ottawa, Ontario Canada. This Blog is designed to showcase these artifacts and educate the reader on some of the steps and processes involved in the sometimes very challenging world of bringing back history for a new generation of historians to enjoy.
