Motors and front wheels were ordered from Surplus Center; should arrive on 
Monday.  

If work progresses quick enough, this might be seen on the battlefield this 
year. :)

just received this report from our chief spy C**** S**** after sending him on 

                                                                a mission to 
investigate some strange sawing noises coming from the S.C.C's headquarters.

 

 General Goopinstopen,

 

Upon reaching the designated investigation point, I immediately found two 
guards in front of the gate.  I figured that this could be troublesome to me, 
but fortunately, they asked me if I was the chief inspector.  Thinking this 
would be an easy way inside, I answered affirmatively.  After making my way 
into the building, I saw Joshua S****  bending over a scroll saw cutting a very 
large piece of wood.  Trying not to bring too much attention to myself, I just 
stayed in the doorway and proceeded to watch with fascination.  After he 
completed, he turned around and saw me.

 

   "Ahh, inspector, I've been waiting for you to arrive."  

 

   "Oh, sorry for being late, now what is it that you wanted me for?" 

 

   "Well you see, after the last battle I decided that I needed to be able to 
move around the battlefield.  My lack of mobility caused me to miss some very 
good shots." 

 

   "Ahh I see!" I replied.  

 

   "So, I decided to build a vehicle so I can maneuver around the battlefield." 

 

In an effort to complete my mission, I asked him what vehicle he had decided to 
build.  

 

   "The vehicle that I have selected to lead our forces into battle is one that 
has not been built yet.  It will have the mobility of a tank, but the speed of 
a truck." 

 

   "Ok, I understand that, but what ARE you building?"  

 

   "This most wonderful and stupendous vehicle will be a M3 Halftrack!" 

  

After that, he showed me the piece of wood he had been cutting when I came in.  
I then could see the resemblance.  

He then went on about what different components he was going to use, etc.  When 
he wasn't looking, I snapped this photo of the vehicle for you.

I hope that this vehicle will not be as bad as he says, Sir, but we should 
definitely keep a close eye on that building.

 

Your humble servant,

C**** S****
