[@rb67mustang]

How great it is to see the Grant moving under it's own power. You and your men have done it again!!! Cheers from across the pond in RI, USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ulischuster4060]

The bigger the boys, the bigger the toys! Well done !!!

Ideally the two UJ's on the prop should have been aligned before welding.

[@514thmick]

Ideally yes but I don't think it will matter much on this thing, it wont be doing many miles

[@wideyxyz2271]

the beast lives and moves. Good job chaps. teas all round !

Sounds like a detroit in that loader. The cumins v8 sounds well.

[@TTV_StickyTiipsMKII]

Its brilliant to see it moving as for the tank its getting there. Me old man makes for a decent show girl for the tank get him some overals and a bandana I make quite the cameo also when i peer in to liik at the V8 as it sounded mental

[@MrMikey4026]

903, not my favorite engine. But naturally aspirated 265-300 hp, should move it just fine! It looks great! It sounds a bit like a GAA. Mick, I wish I was closer so I could play too!

If you're going to have Del do Workshop Wednesday you have to make him wave his arms like he's trying to part the Red Sea like Curt does. She don't sound half bad does she? Remember to get a driveshaft cover made up to save your pants legs. :D

[@Eisen_Jaeger]

btw did the cut in the hull near the suspension get welded up yet?

[@514thmick]

@@Eisen_Jaeger No we still not got round to that yet, that wheel station needs to come off to get to it properly.

When do you think you'll get them both undercover?

[@514thmick]

Never, they all live outside in the yard

[@christopherandersch1299]

Couldn't you flip and swap the exhausts to get the manifold to face back?

[@514thmick]

No the manifolds don't turn around, plus they would point into the radiator

[@Jonesec1]

@@514thmick we ran the 903 in the aavp7 fov the early ones were vt400 and the newer variant was the vta 525. in these configurations the manifolds would face the opposite direction with a y collector up to the bracket for the turbo. i see that your cooling system would be in the way.

Should have pointed the drains on the air tanks/ silencers downwards, then could have drained them, love the videos
