Re: New member - 1952 M37

Going to add one further layer of paint, once hardened look to add Star and TP to side. I have new reflectors ready http://www.afvn.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/IMG_20190625_174644-e1561539243794.jpg Rear and stencils done http://www.afvn.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/IMG_20190625_193719-e156...

Re: Parallel Parking

I dread pulling into a parking lot to see they have no space for a turning circle - just getting my truck out of the garage and to turn it around is a mammoth feat of strength and an 8 point turn :)

Re: New member - 1952 M37

As I have no outside cover i have to snatch the time I have - so I am focusing on a panel at a time, litterally reverse out of garage, sand and prep a panel, clean, paint, wait to dry - drive back into garage.

Re: New member - 1952 M37

Great pictures Ben! My M37 bed has caught much of the same stuff you are carrying, at various points since I've owned it. Gary cheers Gary, I try to remember it is a marathon and not a sprint ..... as to my load, there is a mint small GP tent in there, 3 deck chairs, my mermite beer cooler, all of ...

Re: New member - 1952 M37

No pics of windscreen work, they will follow soon. I will do all 4 road wheels next (the one I did was my spare), then the hard decision is to spray or handpaint, I am really impressed how nice hand painting looks, it would make it slower but then I can work on a panel at a time. My truck's finish i...

Re: New member - 1952 M37

So, slowly working through the truck - fixed Horn, Oil Presure Gauge, working to resolve creaking windscreen with new hinge and throughly cleaned channel. I have also been prepping and painting in my new colour - it is a mix that a couple of us in the UK have been using - it takes time to go off but...
