Fourth of July

Post by HingsingM37 »

I hope everybody had a swell Fourth. I can't believe it is July already :roll: I can't believe I still play with those same goofy smoke bombs I did as a kid :lol: I took some folks for rides and broke in the troop seats. A good day :wink:

Nice indeed! I'd hoped to have mine prepped and painted up for the 4th but the rear spring replacements shoved stripping, prepping and painting back a while. I now have all the U-bolts, etc. (thanks Charles T at MSeries) and should be able to button this part of the project up tomorrow.

Oh, I also finally got 12 old rolls of my M37 pix burned over to a dozen CDs so i should be able to post some of them soon.

Thanks guys. The cannon is always a big hit. I bet my pop smiles down from heaven everytime I throw somes firecrackers in it :)
Gary, can't wait to see those pics.
M37UK: I think you would have been proud of my rendition I performed of "Scottish Soldier" last night at my neighbors picnic/jam session. I wanted a song I could dedicate to the US and UK Forces, I picked that one. I did it similar to the Midge Ure version on You Tube 8)

Nothing particular, any M37 shots you post are good. I always enjoy looking at folks projects. You added the winch or you have two seperate trucks?

I added the winch-still can't find bumperettes. Finally finished my rear springs, too. Will post some more pix later today (I'm at work at the moment-Grave shift).
