I got the tub back on
« on: April 15, 2012, 03:22:00 PM »
I was able to do this all by myself by utilizing my old vintage Coffing hoist that is probably older than the M38.
How about those wheels? � :-[

Looking good Brett. �The tub going back on was one of the most exciting moments for me. �I wish I had the removable floor of the M38. �Threading the needle with the shift tower and steering column in place on my 3A was a bit of a trick. �Your paint looks great.

This was mock up day.


 ï¿½Following floor pan and hat channel replacement, I needed to make sure all the mounts lined up.


I used this to pull and reset the engine also.

Thanks Tim. �Getting closer and closer each day!
Ya, those loaders have many more uses than just dirt. :)

Boy that brings back memories of I guess two summers ago now. I put the body on the jeep a couple of times before my dad got home since I got so worked up about it. After we painted it I had the thing lined up to go on annnnnd I bashed the back quarter right into one of the back rollbar posts. The first of many scrapes to come I'm sure.

Looking great, love the M38

Its a jeep thing, but you would understand if you have ever lost your wallet.

Exciting day, Brett!!!

I don't get to your end of the state as often as I used to, but when I do get there again I'll have to come by for another ongoing saga visit.
