Hi everyone, I'm new to the site and ready to post! My stomping grounds are the state forests of northern Pennsylvania. Born and raised a Philly boy (sort of) I am slowly working my way west. The furthest I have explored is the Susquehannock Forest near Germania. One weekend at a time! I'm a hiker, fly-fisherman, survivalist, woodworker, builder, part-time landscaper (full-time schoolteacher) heirloom gardener, and this summer became a military trailer rehabilitator. It's addictive.
I started with an American M101A1 and it was a great first project. I was never much into being a mechanic, and my goal was to clean it up and take the O.D. out of it. I was somewhat successful and made a pretty quick job of it. Didn't disassemble too much, just touched up the rust and painted it. I am happy with the outcome, but there are definitely some things I could do better.
