If you are going to use canvas covers - wait until you have them before you head off the foam shop to make sure you get the correct thickness. You should use high density seat foam which holds up like a NY cab! The drivers seat bottom is 5" thick which we used a 4" and glued 1". Over ...

David - been watching from a distance... the pride in painting is a result of your prep. Looks great and keep all of us posted. Hope for some warm May weather!! Keith

I had the surprise pleasure of meeting Sid at nationals in Indiana. Close your eyes when you speak to him, get a vision, open them up and there he is. Soft spoken and easy goin. Thanks for posting this, I will plan on calling him. Keith

I ordered a engine plate from MV in October.... he got the plate in and messed up 1 number...still waiting. Nice guy but I would order from another place until his feet get on the ground. I ordered my M37 from VPW as well. Keith

You still looking for the OLDDODGE guy? I think he hangs out on the power wagon site...look for him over there or let me know, I think it is Kevin who lives in the thumb area. Keith

Wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I have been hanging out with the Scout Car guys but still enjoy the the M37 gang better!!! Take care everyone - Keith

Then & Now did 2 pumps for me... brand new and you almost hated to install them..too nice. The primer handle is typically missing but has no impact on performance. You can get the winter primer kit as well if you are concerned.

There is a specific footman loop that has a sewn loop for the footman and a strap and buckle. Come in handy to hold the front of the folding seats in the up position. I found my NOS but have never come across them in the repop. Let me know and maybe we can get someone to make them. http://i246.photo...

The electronic ignition and removal of the RF filter will result in a hotter spark (no electrical loss). We were able to pull the lead wire thru the connector and still screw on the cannon connector for the "look." From outside appearances, from the ignition wire connector, its looks like ...

Our 1954 came with the big single... bought a new current issue one... everything carried over including the 4 mounting screws.

MM - we bought the Pert from Charles, came with great instructions. The RF is located inside the connector housing on the side of the dist. When you pull the coil, you'll see the wire that makes that connection. The problem we had was that the RF also is the barrel connection to the incoming harness...

Cuz - the carb housing is soft as butter and is easily stripped if you blink when tightening the gas line. I would suspect that the stripped ones were drilled/tapped up to the next size and a corresponding plus size put in. We attempted to heli-coil ours when it stripped and had good success. Just m...

I thought the handle was added to the Marine version because they couldn't figure out how to open the hood?

Decided to do a teardown, stripped the frame, wheels, box. 2 coats 2-part corrision resistant epoxy, 2 coats acrylic enamel. Roll on bedliner inside. Tires are NDTs at 95%. Original oak racks/side rails. 24v composite lamps, new harness. Canvas chain covers. Lighter green GSA cover. Asking $1000. ht...

Gary - call me crazy but a 4" and a 6" wire wheel on a var-speed drill works thru the original paint/primer. So long as you go slow and aim it away from you, it won't put racing stripes on your garage wall. Keith
