Starting the Sherman Restoration | Taking on the Suspension

In this Friday workshop update, Ron Fry — our go-to Grant and Sherman restoration expert — officially kicks off work on our Sherman tank restoration. Ron starts by diving into the suspension, before removing the turret and flipping it upside down to continue teardown. From there, he attempts to remove the bogie units… and that’s where things don’t quite go to plan. A relaxed, good-humoured look at the reality of heavy restoration work — even when you know exactly what you’re doing. Filmed at the Australian Armour & Artillery Museum.
