Time Flies.... 46 days left.

in researching a combat rim, I came across a post that identified the "types" of M-38 rehabs. I would be classified as probably a quick renovation.

This is NOT a factory resto...its a learning experience ... just get the darn thing on the road and be respectably close ...

not sure which one is more valuable, that or the sand blaster. I sold an M274a5 to get the sand blaster knowing time is of essence. Flying through parts, so much so I ran out of paint. Just ordered ...

T-minus 64 days

Good Evening All,

So here goes. Always had best intentions but it always seemed something would drive it to the backseat, heck the trunk for that matter. I bought my first M-38 32 years ago and clear as day I can hear my father state the following, "You got a lot of courage kid." I am sure you can ...

Nice!!! Welcome! I did a quick comparison to Wes’ M-38 database in the downloads. The hoodnumber falls in line with 5/52 and the data plate serial number. That’s a nice bonus in my opinion. I’m not sure the shape of the left rear bumperette, but you may be able to find what unit it was attached to ...
