I know this info has already been posted here, probably more than once, but I just watched this and I wanted to tell anyone who is a fan of the M1A1/M1A2 Abrams tank to watch. The 'this' I am writing about is the 'Ultimate Factory' M1 Abrams Tank, Parts 1 and 2, on YouTube. This 2 part video shows how they take old and/or battle damaged M1s and return them to pristine, brand new condition! It was fascinating, including how they strip the hull down to bare metal, etc. Again, I know this has been posted before, but it is worth restating in case you haven't seen it!

▶ Ultimate Factories_ M1 Abrams Tank Part 1_2 - YouTube
Wasn't sure if this would come across as a link... Doesn't look like it, but if you search on YouTube for this, you'll find it!
