That looks great ! I bought one kit and should received it in a couple of days.

I see you're using the WPL metal upgrade axles. Is the width OK ? They were way too wide for my DUKW so I had to build my own and I think I'll have to do the same for the M8.

I saw the kit on your site the other day and was really tempted, but I have too many projects already. Maybe someday. Every time I watch one of your vids and see that wood floor it reminds me of my first house. I replaced a linoleum floor in that house with that same wood floor.

I want a real one, but this might suffice in the meantime. Terrific work so far!
