It's looking SO good.

I forgot now, was your M-37 originally USN?

So what was it that swung your thinking to the Navy, and Seabee Navy at that?!

Picked up a bunch of Norton parts and got them installed. It comes home tomorrow. M37 next day. Sometime this week last grey parts painted.

I'd forgotten how beefy those Nortons really are. It's been a l-o-n-g time since I rode one, nice machine.

Jim.....Salute Sir....mighty fine workmanship.

So today I moved students cars (who didn't have trailers). Both Norton and M37 are home. Due to new tires and no motor though, it would not fit in the garage by about 1". Had to let air out of the tires and push really hard to get it in the garage.

My 37 canvas top would just barely scuff the top of my garage door when I pulled it in, I also had to cropped the wood uprights so the cargo top was the same height as the cab top.

Jim, your rig has a museum quality look, you are a true craftsman. My truck has always been OD and was issued to the Navy, your interpretation is on-point!

 

[hndrsonj]

More parts on.

 

[Another Ahab]

The excitement is building!
