Working on the M38 next.

All holes are done ready for sand blasting if the weather ever gets better. There wound up being 79 holes I had to weld up. (Some people should not be allowed to use a drill)

I need to learn that skill. I’ve got holes in the fire truck that need filling.

How much did the harness run you?

 

[hndrsonj]

Just over 1K.

Was not that bad to remove. Waiting on the replacement from Midwest to get here. Unfortunately this project may be stalled for awhile as my auto body stuff is locked up at the local Technical College with no way to get it till this Covid stuff passes.

Sometimes the small parts are the worst to restore.

I'm in the middle of building a new garage so I can actually accomplish something and not constantly have to be moving stuff to get to whatever I am working on. I normally take one class at the local community college, so I can use the paint booth. That is also on slight hold since COVID shut it down last spring. I didn't want to pay tuition again and risk another shutdown with no tuition reimbursement. Hopefully the building will be done soon (cement Friday) and I'll be able to get some progress done!

Looking forward to it.....I have been wanting to restore an M38 for a long time.
