Well, I went and did it over the weekend. I bought a 1962 M37B1 from a fellow SS member here in West Virginia. I’ve been hankering for a new MV for a long time, and when this one showed up on Craig’s List, it looked like just the ticket! It currently runs and drives, but doesn’t stop. It has some rust in some of the usual spots like the tool boxes and the rocker panels, but the body is in pretty good shape overall.
I’m planning on taking it to some off road rallies next year like Haspin and Rausch Creek, so I’m going to be focusing on getting the running gear in top condition. I’m going to do power front and rear disc brakes, power steering, a rear locker, and some bigger tires on the stock rims. That and a good tuneup on everything else should be a good start.
I’ll be sure to post lots of pics and details as this project progresses. Here are some “Before” pics to get things started!
