M-37, first time i have actually scrapped a MV. sad :-( i dont like it. any way, on the motor, the hub on the front of the crank when i removed it i realized that it is made of brass, or bronz
at a glance i dont...

I know someone will say hey need pics, but my curiosity is beating the camera to the draw
I just got a parts truck for a good price with some great parts for my truck :grin:, and one of
the things on the engine is a air cleaner housing that looks very similar to mine but it has
3 wing nuts...
basically i am trying to figure on a decent spray bomb primer to use. I am hopeing to buy the finish paint from Gillespie. Its just that i will
only have time to do bit and piece work on the frame and axles when i get into sand blasting and was looking for what may or may not work
well in the...
could be odd question, but maybe not. I am about to start the sand blast process on my M-37 frame and was wondering about the right combo of primer to paint
I wont be able to do it all at one time and well probably multiple times, time and temps permitting as to how often.
what primer can i use...

I know I am still a ways from doing the paint on my MV, but i have to know if there is right or wrong or just the military doing what it always does. :cookoo:
The hood star on the M-37 i am restoring had the star point to the cab and the parts truck i got has the hood star point to the grill...
there are some trails along both the north and south side of the C@D canal in Delaware. I used to take my M38a1 with trailer there and when done will take the M-37. There used to be WW II reenactments there till after 911 happened then folks running around with blank ammo became a nono.

I had enough time recently to pick up a parts truck for a good price, the cab is like swiss cheese but there are plenty of little things i...

i got to remember to get on the G site.
well as far as "mid resto" goes as usual there turns out to be more work once you get into it, the body as a whole is in really good...
the wireing in the truck is really kind of #$?!%## so i will probably wind up trying to find money for a harness. the in cab harness isnt too bad but the front and rear harness is worn out. thought about trying to do it myself but it would take forever and the whole connection thingys. So i am...

I wasnt planing on being dangerous with the brakes, its just that when i had my M-38a1 the cj-5 brake parts worked very well and they were considerably cheaper at the time. I may purchase the brake line kits, but since i have been wrench turning since the 70s flareing and bending lines arent a...
