Anyone see the poor prep before painting there... Looks good from afar but not so nice up close... Perhaps I'm picky or a snob...
This is one reason why I like projects so much more and not vehicles that are already restored... You never know exactly what your going to get...

I bought my "restored" M37 over the internet in December.
Several nice pictures, looked like a great truck, sounded like all it needed was a full tank of gas, according to the seller.
So far I've spent more on repairs and parts than I paid for the truck. It won't ever be a 'show' truck, I have fond hopes that it will be a 'go' truck, though, sometime in the next 2 or 3 months.
Nice looking means very little. From ten feet, with the right camera angles, you'd be amazed what can be hidden.

I agree Oddjob - I'm stripping my bare bones. If your gonna do it, why not do it right. It's taken me 5 years longer than I thought it would. It ran when I got it and made the mistake of taking every rusty nut, bolt and screw and sheet metal panel apart, but I know it'll be much better when it's all back together. I've had fun and learned a ton about what I missed in High School shop!

I just feel bad for the guy that gets it and find out the vehicle actually needs work...
