How I got from there to here and where to now - mostly in pictures!
« on: January 25, 2023, 07:11:10 PM »
Hi folks!

Well, it's official, MC 21390 - the M38 to CJ3A project - is officially titled and registered in the state of CO! Here's some pictures of my multi-year retirement project.

Please note the open field in the background, as this was taken at the end of 2012!

Meanwhile I boxed the M38 frame, massaged the axles, and applied copious amounts of POR 15 down low. Then I started assembly with new leafs, c-shackles, discs and hardware along with a dual reservoir master cylinder and a Ross reverse steering conversion.

The chronological order is sketchy, but I also installed a Tiger Top...

This brings me up to about 2019, but it's worth noting that I also had the first of two shoulder surgeries, the first being rotator cuff, labrum and bicep tendon repairs. Motorcycle accident when I was 18. Recovery time was about 12 months.
