So glad a piece of real, (and a rare artifact) ,of history is being restored. The battle history of that particular tank would make an incredible video all by itself. What army -or armies-did she serve in? What battles? What units? What you folks are doing has value beyond money. Once these pieces of history are lost, they are lost forever. Thank you, for all the generations that will follow.
I'm stunned the tank is so complete! Choose the colour that's correct for this tank, based on the original colour it had. Anything else would be like to piss on its history. If it was put toghether from scrap parts; yeah go on and paint in in pink city camouflage, I couldn't care less. In this amazing condition; do the correct thing...
This was an especially good video. Short and sweet, great overall understanding of the process. And yes there do seem to be unlimited livery options since it was used so widely - my own vote is North Africa operation Torch.
I vote for it painted in a green tone for the Australians during the New Guinea campaign where they played a vital infantry support role - Sanananda 1943!
Absolutely marvellous and fascinating stuff! In my opinion you should paint it NW Europe schemes to reflect Stuarts as recce tanks with the allies. Would go along with the rest of your collection better.
Caunter paint scheme perhaps? That would be pretty striking and unique. I am seeing these videos out of order. Is there a video covering the back story of this particular vehicle?
Glad to see that when America built things simple and to last, it is appriciated. This is why we Allies won the war. The equiptment may not have been the biggest or best but it ran well and had plenty of spare parts and easy to fix.
In the UK it's a propeller [prop] shaft in between the engine and transmission or gearbox and axel. And driveshaft from the transmission or differential to the driven road wheels. From the differential to the wheel in a solid axel, it's also known as a half shaft
Looks like someone got to the breach and B-block parts of the main gun ...when you get this sweety restored, how in the Hell are you going to be able to terrorize the locals with all those thousands of 37mm rounds you guys have hidden under the cat box at the back of the shop ...It's a trust issue I tell ya-!
Really interesting for me as my Father drove one of these as a reconnaissance tank during WW2.
Honey by name honey by nature. Looking forward to this restoration. Go desert camo!
Great to see another awesome tank being restored. That honey should be wearing a sand camouflage.
Thank you!
Amazing how many Stewart’s are still around. So many still running. One of my favorite US tanks from WWII.

Excellent video, your channel deserves a lot more viewers and subs

Th Stuart is indeed in quite good condition. What a fun job to restore it!
Great Job ! I used to own and drive/display the M3 Stuart Carl Brown now has
Awesome! Can’t wait to see your progress, looks like a gem! I’d go with sand

Brilliant stuff keep up the good work.
The AV guy in me says get a lapel mic :) The rest of me goes, that's fantastic stuff.
Really interesting video!!
Looking forward to the next installment.
Keep up the excellent work!
My dream tank from WWII
in the town where i live is where they built these tanks at a American Car & Foundry Co. factory in Berwick PA. USA
Awesome!
Those radials are a pain to work on in the engine bay. Did it in the 70s
Awesome videos it’s good to see more channels uploading in 4K👍🏻
Outstanding video and presentation
really cool, great work! I love those little tanks!
Nice to see old armor Restored. When it's done, you should cruise Main Drag, then run over the car of the cop that pulls you over.
Caunter paint scheme perhaps?
That would be pretty striking and unique.

It never ceases to amaze me that these tiny tanks had four man crews. They had to choose the smallest guys they could find for the Stuart.
Guys were generally smaller back then, not as much of a hassle.
Was this one of the Stuart's that Mike Stallwood brought over years ago?
Looks like one of those South American tanks I saw a while back
I think 🤔 a sand camo would look different & cool

You should do a show like combat dealers
COOL
👍 👍 👍!!!
Gecko eggs.
"Prop shaft"?
You Brits!
"Drive shaft" is more like it.
Propeller shaft is the standard term…
(Including on American built equipment).
In the UK it's a propeller [prop] shaft in between the engine and transmission or gearbox and axel. And driveshaft from the transmission or differential to the driven road wheels. From the differential to the wheel in a solid axel, it's also known as a half shaft
What is the marking on the turret? Is that an ex brasilian stuart?
Yes it is
Be great if there was an opportunity for the paying public to drive it once restored
those are gecko eggs..little lizards running around the house walls..but they are not as nasty as cockroaches..
