18803 restoration

Post by tractor »

I am working on 18803s restoration at the Estrella Warbirds museum in Paso Robles, CA. I will be adding pictures as we go along in the next year it should take us to restore this DUKW. Right now we are going through the engine compartment and brakes. It won't be a floater but a parade and display vehicle

Must be due a pile of images, surely, though I know DUKWs can be time-comsuming creatures?
