well today i fixed a rim and painted most of the stuff that was sandblasted friday, i forgot to paint the bumperette, lond day, my nose is full of primer...lol

here are the pics enjoy

started with a bunch of sandblasted parts

cleaned up some more parts , for some reason a lot of part have this red color on them, migth be some king of factory color for parts , i dont know

one of the rim had some rust issue around the valve and was thin around the valve....

so i cut the rust and thin part out...

cutted and rounded a patch (thanks plasma again) and welded it up,


then i primed a lot, i even wasted about 1/4 of a quart of etching primer on my pant when i knocked the cup of the gun, darn it that was expensive for nothing , i was more carefull after....lol


and then i had a bunch of nicely etched parts ready for paint tomorow if it is nice out

once the gun was clean i noticed i forgot the bumperettes , ill get them with the front bumper tomorow

i also discovered the bushing from the leaf hanger where toasted, so i will replace them with new one before assembly and i had to grind the thing that goes on the pad on the rear of the ring gear , i will look for a good one in the other axle

now it is time to relax....until tomorow

Default A word of caution......

Great job your doing Paul.

May I offer some advice....... if you value your life.... or the life of a young child that you might inadvertently injure....... DO NOT USE THE RIM YOU REPAIRED FOR STREET DRIVING.....PLEASE!!!!

Rims are cheap enough for M 37...... I would give you one of mine if you were not so far away..... don't take a chance of driving your fully rebuilt M 37 on that rim...... it can be used in the spare rack..... but as a safety measure write on the back side of the rim..... with your welder.... YARD USE ONLY......
