February, 1945 air- portable tipper, all original with dolly. Hope to restore for the 2012 MVPA nationals. Can't decide to exhibit complete or split.

Ken

I'm with the Dr. You gotta display it split apart.

Did you see the demonstration put on several times during the MVPA show in Dayton OH were they split and then reassembled an Air Transportable 3/4 ton Dodge WC while people watched?

Just an idea
