Project Ferro Navy M37

Nice job!

Looks like he's going to have to invest in a few new tires in the near future. A couple of those old treads are junk.

I see you painted the gas cap red for MOGAS. NICE!
Looks like the middle Ga. land locked Navy will be able to get to the ocean soon. I think their navy consists of a few Jon boats with trolling motors and some inflated spare inner tubes.

Darn nice work!

As you can tell I did not mount the pintle - the size is different and I did not want to be hacking in anything different than what should be on it.

That M37 is lookin real good! Reminds me I got to get back to work on my 63 B1, I have been amassing parts all summer and need to get back on it.

Zout,
You have done a fine job on Adams truck! Excellent work!

So I'm thinking that's the Graves Military Trail Ride command vehicle. The paint is too nice to put it anywhere but in the front anyway...

We will find out. I was too busy to go with Adam to recover the M37, so I won't see it until today. I will try my best to keep him out of trouble(good luck to me).

Wonderful work, well done!

John - you'll be a little late keeping Ferro out of trouble with it !!!!!

Above in the pics upon pickup - ask Ferro how that HUGE caved in right rear of his truck happened ???????? It did not get done without a newly painted other vehicle involved ????

With them fellas roaming around up there in SC - by now you would have thought someone would have posted up some pics from the homesite !!!!!!! what a bunch o slackers.

Very nice job

Zout, we've all been at the VA Rally. Just got home. I will tell you this. The M-37+NDT's and a half full fuel tank had 'opportunities' with a 60 degree slope covered in Kudzu and wet leaves - no paint was damaged in the process, but Adam's mother won't be riding with him again on the trails. EMD will post a video as soon as it can be edited.

No she loved the blue trail. Just not mount son of a biscuit!

 

[SCSG-G4]

Yes, but the Blue Trail can be driven by a regular pick-up truck (at low speeds) and she was on the upslope side on it, not the down-slope side where 'mount-son-of-a-biscuit' dropped off just about as fast on the trail as it did on the side - but the trail had fewer standing trees on it. I hope EMD (John Parker) will show more than 5 or 10 seconds of me walking/sliding down the trail as he was backing his truck down to the turn-around that was 'only 100 yards behind him'. Adam said it was more like a quarter of a mile. On a flat map it was probably 200 yards, but on that slope it might have been a quarter of a mile, and felt longer when you have to drive it backwards. I need to go edit pictures so I can post some of them.

And Ferro did get stuck, and pulled out, just to make it an "OFFICIAL" SS rally. I was very pleased that I didn't have to touch a wrench the whole weekend. Pictures and video will follow, just as soon as I get unpacked, and back into the grind.

Here are some photos from Graves Mtn Rally.

LOL! That last pic looked like where I grew up in east TN! I had to do a double take!
Looks like ya'll had a wonderful time and it looks like the M37's had a good time too!
