I finished building the radio trays, over head console, rear view mirror mount (actually a back up camera).Mounted a gun safe, an interior luggage rack, made mounts for the ammo carrier can , the.50 cal. gun cradle and an aluminum 'chicken guard' and built a carrier cradle to mount 'MaDuece' (w/ barrel removed)to the underside of the rear sponson hatch. Not a lot of metal shaping more like metal work. I got the VIC-3 intercom headsets mounted and made mounting brackets for the intercom controls, CB radio, 2 meter HAM radio. All the wiring and antenna cables have been run from the controls, under the 'heat' panels and mounted on the rear sponsons. Made adaptors for the front seats to use high back 'commander' seats for more comfort.

Pictures are in no particular order.

Some really classy metalwork in these photos, Will. Love your productivity, accuracy, and detail.
Interesting - IF - what I see is the horiz mill shoving holes in the tube mounted in the headstock .... very creative hole indexing.
