WWII reenacting? No kidding. Where do you get those vehicles from?

I don't own any, but there's web groups and old collector's associations out there. Jeeps aren't terribly hard to find (you can get those on craigslist if you wait long enough), but the tanks are a little trickier.. and way more expensive.

Some people fabricate the vehicles, as well. There's a group in CO that has mad a Panzer III out of the chassis of an M113 apc. Almost all of the Axis reenactors have to go to such extremes, whereas the Allies have it easier. A Russian unit out here has a T-34! My unit has a couple Shermans and Stuarts, and M8 Greyhounds as well.

As for me, I've only got an M1 Garand and a bazooka.
