Project Ferro Navy M37

[zout]

Not ready to fully start on the 37 yet - but she is close. I gotta get that Jeepy thing done and out of the garage so I can pull his in after getting it fully washed down. But - here is the proud owner that just loves this 37 and let's see how much bigger of a smile he has with the same pic when done.

I still say you should have made Adam wash the mud off that rascal!!!

 

[swbradley1]

Who's going to wash Adam?

I still say you should have made Adam wash the mud off that rascal!!!

Why??? He will just get it muddy again. I would just paint the mud on.

I planned too, but when he told me to park it in front of the garage, I said don't you mean the side so I can wash it off? He gives me this evil little laugh and says, oh no buddy, she's mine now and I told you where to park her. So I did what any service member would have done when given an order. I followed it posthaste!!

I can't wait to see what the master does with this canvas.

It will look so nice in my driveway. After all, it should have been mine.

Is that an exhaust port on the engine cowl?

Location of the breathing tube for the fording kit. Since the kit isn't installed the flapper covers the hole.

That's the exhaust port for the twin turbo system Adam plans to install.

 

[Tinwoodsman]

I think I will go with response #1

Sounds about right PB - he will need a little more power if he wants to get out of the mud hole this year! Just kidding - I know he will never drive it like that again after Zout gets finished with it.

 

[Ferroequinologist]

Yeah thats it, cause you know, I just don't get stuck fast enough...

Make no mistake, she will never be a trailer queen but yes the days of getting her close to solid objects and deep mud, are probably over.

 

[wilfreeman]

But, ohhh the memories you share together!

 

[swbradley1]

Probably over..........


I've been in it when it was buried in Georgia and I had to get someone to pull you out when you stuck it at Haspin.


Probably.....when monkeys fly out my butt.

I really do appreciate all the kind input about the work done - but there are fellas out there that restore them to perfection and I appeciate their quality of work just as well.

To name a couple off the top of the list is TWM - Clinto - those fellas working on the tanks (very cool) and my hats off to them - excellent quality work down to the bone. I suppose I could if I streamlined - cleared the shop or had another ?? Who knows but I use to work on Harlies like that yrs ago. I just don't have it in me anymore to spend so much time on a project - but instead I have had the opportunity to make a few happy and to them the pride of their MV's.

I for one would dislike Ferro NOT to taker in the mud and see him do any less with it - if we put the right paint on it anything will be a easy fix for him. He can always borrow Johns and take his out in the mud otherwise.

Hope to get started washing this baby up about mid week in between some primer coats on that jeep. Then we'll see what sits on the first layer.

 

[wheelspinner]

Adam you can always pick up that one I showed you for a beater ........

 

[marchplumber]

Alrighty then! Another Commander Z special rebuild thread. Eagerly awaiting the wondrous and fantastic to take place. "This is goin to be good!"

God bless,
Tony

Now I see my chance. I am going to sneak mine into Zout's on the QT and swap places with Adams. Then mine will be done for the Rally.
