Cobra King's 76mm gun removed and placed on the workshop floor.

The breech block is missing from the gun. This gun will be installed into the museum's existing Jumbo Sherman.

Cobra King and the museum's existing Jumbo Sherman side by side. Having two of these unique vehicles in the same facility is a rare occurence.

The 75mm from the museum's Jumbo will be put into Cobra King. This is the type of weapon Cobra King had at the time she led the way to the relief of Bastogne.

The 75mm is basically complete with a working breech.

Museum volunteer Garry Redmon uses an air needle scaler that chips off old paint. Both Garry and O.B. Eddens worked on removing old paint from the gun.
