OKC M-38 CDN Progress... (Con't)

Post by OKCM38CDN »

Well; after a week off I am alot closer to getting to drive it... :)

I still have to blast the jerry can holder and spare tire carrier and mount them here... :)

Image

The top bow brackets are missing weld nuts and I just got the fenders back from my friend after painting. Also need to get the hardware to mount them with. :?

Image

Need to order the headlights and blast the light wells, but 90% of the wiring is in... And a NOS Douglas connector oil sending unit (0-120) is on its way. I need to get new glass, I cracked the old gettting it out of the frame. :(

Image

Ignition switch is ordered and all but one data plate is correct. I still have to mount the ccircuit breakers on the battery box, they have been ordered... A little touch up will be required for the instrument panel...

Image

I will have to wait for the battery box, but every thing else is falling into place...

Image

The seat covers and some other parts are due in this next week. I am seeing some late nights in the near future... I would like to have it ready to go to Tulsa the weekend of Aug 13-14, and maybe to Wichita, KS two weeks later... I know it will not be 100%, but it will be driveable and the little things will come later...

Comments?

Enjoy...

Hal,

Looks like you are rapidly progressing!

Keep up the good work.

I have been thinking about going to the Wichita show, especially if you are going to have your jeep there.

What is the date for that one, last weekend of August?
