Great collection.
After seeing that cable show about guys who restore tanks, you've gotto give them credit about their committmentto the hobby.

I restore cars..but to do tanks you need to be able to do everything on a HUGE scale. In short, your engine lift must NOT be a Chinese cheapee from Harbor Freight!

I do not think he is going to have 3 versions of the Sherman there for much longer. The Sherman that was used in "Tank" is on its way to MA early next week.

Picture 22 (the scout car) was his first hmv. I think he bought it when he was 18 for about 500 bucks. That was also my first hmv but i paid a little more than that. :lol:

According to Rick Ropkey the PBR was recovered from the Philippines. It had been beat up pretty well after they used it in Apocalyse Now ! It has been restored to running condition.
