T'anks y'all! I'm happy with it so far. So, here's a pic or two with stowage, and one with and without an amm,o crate on the front fender, seen in a pic or two, trying it out for fit. It would be properly secured if I choose to use it. Thoughts?  IMG_2419 by Russel Baer, on Flickr  IMG_2418 by Russel Baer, on Flickr The stuff in the foreground is junk I'm pondering adding as well.  IMG_2416 by Russel Baer, on Flickr Above, the oil can is also a "let's see what it looks like there"  IMG_2415 by Russel Baer, on Flickr The basket is bulked up with different 5-gal cans, a stack of 30 cal ammo boxes and a couple of Israeli ration boxes. I think it needs a bright orange air recognition tarp wadded up and hanging half in, half out, but I don't want to cover up the individual stowage items either. Thoughts? |

Just doesn't make sense, to put in that much detail and then cover it with a tarp  |

Just doesn't make sense, to put in that much detail and then cover it with a tarp I know, right? But if I kind of wadded it up and kept it out of the way... I dunno, I'm gonna try it whan I get back in town, probably with rolled out 2-part epoxy that I can remove when it sets, just cuz it looks so good in the pics I have, which is a couple of these tanks parked in a Lebanese forest, close to Beirut, and clearly in need of of maintenance. |

Have to vote no on the ammo crate to me it don't look right. What about the engine deck for the tarp?
Don't cover too much up D7 is right it'd be a shame
Regards,
Mark

Bruce, I almost made one from two part epoxy, as usual, but I'm gonna get some Paper Shaper soonest, cool stuff. In the meantime, I made on from painted and rolled up masking tape, looks like the stiff plastic the real tarps were made from. And with that, I'm done:  IMG_2494 by Russel Baer, on Flickr  IMG_2495 by Russel Baer, on Flickr  IMG_2496 by Russel Baer, on Flickr  IMG_2493 by Russel Baer, on Flickr Working on a photo booth too..... |
