Progress photos.







Note the placement of the rear bracket on the P.E. storage box. I had to place it there because were the placement was meant I had to shave off some frame bolts to make the fighting compartment sit correctly. I probably could of done without them.



Storage box before install. Note bracket placement. Note after install photo at top.



Circled area would have been removed to make above bracket placement to fit correctly.

Hope I explained that right.

See ya in the funnies...................

Ooooops! I screwed up in the install of the rear stowage box! I find this out after I posted yesterday. Thankfully it wasn't a total SNUFU, challenge corrected. Build continuing.

See ya in the funnies.............

Just spend about 8 hours in total trying to get the stowage compartment hinges put together without a P.E. tool and very little progress, got one done. P.I.T.A!

The challenge is getting them to stay still while I try to get them put together. My "hotdog" fingers aren't helping matters.

Tape them down maybe?

See ya in the funnies..............

Brian,

Glad to see your recent installments. I want one of these and know what to look for when I build it.

Thanks Fred,

Sad to admit this, but the hinges got the best of me.
It's safely put up for now.

See ya in the funnies..............

Hey Brian, any progress on the M3 since your last post in late 2014?
