| Bill Zukauskas sent me these images of his Scout car. He comments: "I've sent you a picture of my M3A1 Scout Car at a Pearl Harbor re-enactment held in New Orleans, La in 2001. I'm the heavy guy by the 50 cal. It took me 4 years to restore the Scout Car." | "I'll try and get a scan of the before picture, when I found it in a scrap yard. Demilled to President Clinton's specs. Every piece of armor torch cut, every hinge torch cut, and the running gear (axles) torched off. It's an old Ex-Greek Army surplus vehicle, I understand that they had about 150 of them that they sold off. My left fender has been modified to carry a spare tire like an old Dusenburg. Looks neat, but not correct. I've attached a picture with a tire mounted." | ||
