    Chargo project has arrived

    Well the Chinese amphib I saw a couple years ago came in to be reassembled. The story goes like this. Engine was frozen when shipped to Alaska probably no antifreeze. Someone replaced the head gasket, maybe more. Last year it ran but battery went dead. Haven't had much time to inspect but it's a fiberglass upper and lower, no drain holes yet and full of water. Steering looks like Argo. Engine and transmission spear to be small automotive. It will be a while before spending much time on this one.

    spent more time trying to flip the picture than the vehicle is worth.
    Ok got one pic right side up. From what I see now someone had an Argo to copy,a small car with 3 cylinder engine a welder. Throw in a lot of beer and maybe some serious drugs and you have what's in my shop. I didn't even get the key. Well it beats boredom. I'm probably going to spend a lot of time on this one I'll post pics as soon as I get top off and cleaned out.
