Have a question for Beau about our StuG III G restoration? ASK HIM HERE and we'll answer as many as we can in 60 seconds!

[@Javdoc]

What do you figure that backplate weighs?

[@zacharymeyers1202]

Will you bolt the "Addon" armor back on to the front plates?

[@StevenG222]

Do you ever want to slap the camera out of Kurt's hand? For as smart and multi-talented you are, I'm glad you chose Armored vehicles and the museum...the show wouldn't be the same without you!!

[@nriqueog]

Is he sure that the first piece to the shovel holder isn't reversed. It seems that the bends that hold the shovel blade are angled inward, shouldn't they be angled the other direction to better fit the shovel blade? Very curious about this...

[@red_d849]

why not leave the old shovel holders if its a rare field mod?

[@lukefriesenhahn8186]

Yes! Thanks Kurt! A Workshop Wednesday is better than no Workshop Wednesday.

[@Skeptic236]

This is not just an amazing exhibition of the skills in this restoration, but also a history lesson. The shovel details and fitting was really informative, thank you.

[@DrewCartwright]

Still Wednesday in Arizona, USA! Thanks, gents!👍

[@munster8472]

lol Totaly got me with him moving the stug gag!

[@timhullfilms]

Yep, still Wednesday here in Los Angeles. Love watching Beau fabricate!

[@kennethmorgan1594]

YOUR TEAM HAS SOME AMAZING SKILLS . YOU GUYS ARE EXELENT CRAFTSMAN

[@robertspence831]

Love it. I'll bet that exhaust sounds awesome.

[@markhodge7]

Nearly heading for bed here in Missouri, but you popped. I'm awake now!

[@josephhuber1827]

Still workshop Wednesday by the skin of its teeth! At least here in Wisconsin. Great shots of the plasma cutting and welding!

[@charlesemerson6763]

Ahh the little details. Nice find on the shovel mount.

[@johnanon6938]

Still Wednesday here, better late then never! With many thanks to Kurt and crew!

[@NobodyNobody-c6g]

A bit of bedtime stug is always good

[@bulldogstrut1]

Seeing the plasma cutter in action was pretty cool.

[@johnbertacchi3428]

I been waiting all day for this!!! I was getting withdraws not seeing your video …glad to see this video!

[@jerka7]

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing.

[@dash5257]

I was beginning to think I was crazy that I couldn't find workshop Wednesday. Another great video. I was playing the StuG 111 in War Thunder today. It's always neat to see the actual vehicles!

[@jamestiberiuskirk5994]

Ditto still Wednesday here in Florida!

[@Vlaid65]

Nice of you to run up the engine at the end for us.

[@Javdoc]

woohoo, was wondering where the weekly tank fix was all day today.....

[@OneLeatherBoot]

little hammer, bigger hammer, fire!

[@markstone5597]

It's coming together nicely. It may not have the original engine, but that doesn't matter if you can drive the bloody thing-that's going to be very cool!

[@davidstrother496]

And, Wah-Lah, that's all there is too it, says Beau about the muffler fabrication. That is some great looking work.

[@sea_emperour346]

WORKSHOP THURSDAY!!!!

[@Island_Times]

Workshop Thursday ! LoL

[@boomerang9967]

Still Wednesday in Toronto 😊

[@stevenscott8652]

great job

[@scaleartsg]

06:53 tamiya thin cement 😂

[@scottdaviesvk2sdx319]

The Cat with basically open collectors will sound awesome, and will only be slightly more smoky than the Maybach.

[@Melikedefensebudgetincrease]

Pretty funny how this is a workshop Wednesday video released on thursday in cairns lol (I live here and love going to the museum)

[@bobkohl6779]

AHA! Aussie Karate kick fitment!!!! Sledge hammer finesse! Pointy bolt heads? Kinky!

[@neilperry2224]

Instead of using a flame to heat up the bolts. Have they tried the heating element devices?

[@chrisgreig5628]

Just a question , how old is the cat 3208 ? or model family .

[@brealistic3542]

Btw, did you know that modern jet airliners are actually glued together now with fast setting glue. Just a FYI the next time you go on vacation in one.😉

[@kestasskamarocius7331]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@gordonclark7632]

Not too sure if I will have you do the panel beating on my Mazda just in case you got carried away with the sledge.

[@xx3868]

Having a non genuine engine is still ok as it allows you to show off the tank to happy crowds and you can always get the real engine later and put it in. Nothing is really lost. either you dont put a engine in and it never runs or you do and people can enjoy it .

[@chrisjarvis4449]

man i was Jonesing you know like the dt's

[@chrispiazza7487]

My money is on Beau to actually pull that Stug!

[@Gazpacho8]

A shame not to have the original engine, would love to see one restored.

[@busterdee8228]

The shovel 'blade' clamp seems reversed. It looks slightly splayed out and would seem to a better fit if the wider 'mouth' faced inboard.

[@Montpup]

Why did he Weald the back plate on then remove the bracket? Would it have been easier to do it the other way?

[@autismandy3050]

That guy is Handsome af

[@brealistic3542]

You could record some original German Stug engine noises and play them through loud speakers like a lot of electric cars now do.🤔😁

[@Nick_Tank-Maker]

I can’t believe I’m so early 😊

[@sparkyfromel]

cutting off vintage weld !!😭

[@jeffreytan2948]

I wish some company would build new HL120 engines

[@TheMalootrager]

Just for sh!ts and giggles it fun/funny to convert a AC-1 Sentinel into an Aussie version of a StuG III, a Stuginel if you will and mounted with either a 17-pdr or 25-pdr main cannon

[@erichthepantherausfh7465]

i sort of have two questions, but answer whichever ya'll can or want to! For the StuG III G, what kind of camo scheme, unit markings and tank number are you going to do? And, Will the StuG be running this year or do you think it'll be next year till its finished? (P.S. its still Wednesday in Colorado USA!)

[@DaHaiZhu]

I think we are seeing a new MCU Superhero!

[@chadpyett6441]

Can't wait to hear the sound of cat engine

[@pukalo]

epic

[@sherman_of_the_lake]

Original era engine is best in my opinion

[@westmus]

But you ain't the one that finance the restoration and have to keep the Stug maintained and running in the future.

[@sherman_of_the_lake]

@@westmus They asked for opinions and that is mine, it wouldn’t be too hard to find an engine from the 1940s era to go with the tank. I am not saying it is going to be an original maybach either by any means.

[@kiwifruit27]

But it’s Thursday 😢

[@markwarren7959]

I called B.S. when I saw the StuG moving on one human power and I don't care how good he welds. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@red_d849]

why did this get uploaded so late, im not complaining but it’s usually at like 12 AM or so

[@trangia12]

I have a complaint. I would like at least 2 videos a week. Please.

[@ldnwholesale8552]

An inertia starter, like a mower was pk I guess on a big petrol engine. But never on a diesel Cat with 3 times the compression. And whatever you must paint that very yellow Cat to German grey. What is the German word for caterpillar? Christen it thus.

[@dusterowner9978]

are you going to at least paint the engine what the German manufacturer used ?
