I am restoring a 1970, WM300 Flat Fender PW that I bought from VPW. It was a closed cab Danish Army PW in Wonderful condition, no rust, straight and clean. I had Dave install 4.89 gears before delivery. Thanks Dave for a great PW.

Part of the restoration is repower with a 318 engine, power 4 wheel disk brakes, power stearing and suspended pedals with master brake cylinder/booster mounted on the firewall.

I have used Helitool products for all the conversions. The quality is excellent and they fit the first time and work. Today
after Static Timing the engine, I cranked her up. The engine did not make more than 2 revolutions and was running like a top. I could turn the universal on the power stearing by hand and run the wheels lock to lock.

I wanted to take it out for a test run, but dont have the drive shafts installed yet nor brakes. I tried to get my Bride to put her shoulder on the back and push me around the lot. She just did not sense the importance as I did. So not test spin.

I have posted some pictures on www.mcmp.net
Look on the 3 pages under HOME, PRODUCTS, CONTACT......heck I could not figure out how to change the page names. Hope to have the cab slid forward and mounted by this weekend.
And drive it out in the spring.
