I am so jealous of your work shop. I get to go out and remove my body today/tomorrow and just a shade tree mech. Nice job, a lot of sanding, and time that took.

Looks like you're moving along nicely - wish I was able to stay on my project and knock it out! I've been trying to do the last little bit of welding so that I can finish up my M100 floor replacement! I hope to get that done and rebuild and install the spare 'a1 engine before the rally in April.

Keep up the good work and STAY ON IT!

Saberr, You are well on the way with yours and it seems like you are driven enough to see the restore through. All of your efforts so far will be well worth it once you get her back together, fire her up (again) and drive her around the neighborhood! Keep at it and don't forget to send me pics!

thanks saberr yes that's about 12 hours of work hope to get it done quick i have 3 others to get to

That's a pretty decent exterior on that tub!
What are the floors like?

Front floors are gone back tail gate is bad

Dang, 3 others ? Why so many ? Are they all going to be Christmas presents to your buddies ? all a1's ? Always amazes me at how easy it it for midwest/east coaster to get your hands on the mv's.

yes all 53 M38A1
Hopefully get a 55 this weekend

had some time yesterday got axles done and springs

all the springs and axles where striped por15 and painted








instead of grease packing the springs i will be using
UHMW, Low Friction tape

Well I was able to get frame and rims done with por15
