    Simsbury, CT Airfest with MVs 9/18/11

    Hope you stop by. Oh, and don't go by the avatar, I've been sanding, painting and changing things! The pic will change when I'm done with this round, have the masking tape off and parts put back on. I hope I'm not the only M37 there, either....

    No, Quonset is 9/17 for sure, but I've seen different info that adds Fri 9/16 and others that add Sun 9/18. Trying to find my quoted post to correct. Gilbert is 9/23-24 for sure. RIMVCC needs to get the info out, their website doesn't look to have updated in years.

    Bumper Letter Height

    I'm looking for how tall the bumper numbers should be for a M37 in Vietnam. Front bumper and rear bumperettes as I'm sure what will fit on the front won't fit on the rear. I'll be ordering stencils soon and would like to get it right the first time.

    Best CB To Purchase

    I have run a Cobra 25 GTL for over 35 years and it's still going. If you are looking for the best store, Walcott CB. If you are looking for a retail store in CT, good luck! The only place I know for sure that have CB's are the truck stops. Be prepared to pay a premium.

    Dremel tool and rust removal?

    POR-15 is a Dupont product. I got mine at a local auto body supply shop. NAPA carries a rust converter that their salesmen say is better, but I think they are trying to make a sale. If you get the POR-15, when you go to close it, be sure there isn't a drop of the stuff in the rim of the can...

    The Great NH Rte 16

    I don't think it would hurt. That way, if you ever decided to turn up the pump, you're set.

    The Great NH Rte 16

    The area around the Glen Ellis Falls comes to mind, those are wicked hills. My Tahoe didn't care for them a bit. I'd suggest keeping an eye on the temp gauge and if the truck has been turned up, watch the pyro. If you don't have a pyro (exhaust gas temp) gauge, I'd get one.

    Great news, other than you don't get to keep it!

    Dremel tool and rust removal?

    I have a wire wheel attachment for my Dremel but it is on the weak side power-wise. If that's all you can get in there, it will work, but you'll have to take your time and may go thru a few of the wire wheels as they aren't made for heavy duty work. I would suggest that you get the scale and...

    @ Vintage Iron, I plan on being at both the RI show and Gilbert. RI usually has some vendors, but Gilbert has the most of any of the NE shows. I'll be at RI Sat (Sat is usually the better attended day when it comes to 2 day events) as long as the weather co-operates. At Gilbert I'm looking at...

    M37 Recovered!

    Ok, I'll bite, what do you think it needs for that? Already has a B1 shifter! No way am I putting the tire on the door, the GTs took them off anyway. Paint is already 24087 (the Randolf 24087 seems closer than the other brands).

    M37 Recovered!

    More pics from this afternoon, I needed some to send to the insurance co. and I found a little time between heavy rains to back the truck out.

    M37 Recovered!

    Yes, I saw them both when I went up to look at the truck a few weeks ago. The Guy with the truck and trailer I used was very impressed, said he didn't want to touch Ed's M37 it was show car nice.

    M37 Recovered!

    I know the trucks in better shape than I am, it'll likely be here after I'm gone. As for better looking, you need to get to the eye doctor and get new glasses!:shock:

    Had no choice with the truck, I did have a choice with the camera! Truck is simple, camera is packed full of electronic stuff that doesn't like water...
