well today i started by saying some church words when i had to replace the front to back brake line under my one ton truck... some clown had put 3 junction in it! now it brakes good again and it has a full line front to back in the stock location, once this was taken care off, i took to the pintle hook and cleaned and sandblasted it, then etched it, then i got the two pan that goes on each side of the engine cleaned,there was about 1/2 inch of dust,oil and god know what caked on them, then i got them strait again and welded all the cracks in them, then they got etched, and then i painted the whole stuff black, tomorow more stuff is going to find its way back on the truck!
anyway, here are the pics of the day, enjoy! driver side pan  passenger side pan  and an other bunch of stuff etched and ready for paint!  and some more black stuff!  paul the slow mo!

well i finally got tired of playing with the boat and i restarted on the m37 for a change! so i started with the stearing assembly, i took everyting appart, cleaned it , mesured and checked everything according to the book, bougth two new tie rod end and some new leather boots and straps, then i sanded everything down and primed and painted , i changed the black paint for some with a little more ligth in to it as i did not like the last gallon i bougth and the result are good with the ford black! here are a few new picture for every one!
 here you can see the new tie rod taken apart  other side  drag links  drag link guts  all primed! i fidled for 3 day wondering how to get the seized stearing off with out too much damage and save the shaft, i broke the nut, but i found an other one , finally i heated the inside of the tube with the welding tip on the torchs and a bearing puller backward on the rear of the stearing and a hammer!   and the final one, the paint result!  more later!
