99% of body panels on/done. Seats redone. Who would have thought an electric knife to cut seat foam-worked great. Biggest thing left is to drop in the engine/transmission and install wiring harness.

That's looking sharp, real nice.

Where did you get the foam? I've got some seats to repair.

The 4" foam for the passenger seat bottom is from JoAnn's. Everything else was new life canvas out of MN.

Been awhile, so here's a few updates. Things have been slow with work and getting permanent guardianship of my granddaughter.....

Ahh memories. I still remember that good feeling when mine was almost done. Then when it is just about done and your almost to that first time drive out you start wondering what is going to leak or not work right. Fortunately mine experienced very few teething troubles. A couple minor leaks and some steering adjustments. Great work on yours.

More parts installed.

So I haven't updated this in awhile. Last week I took a M37 and some parts to Midwest Military and got new troop seat and bow wood and two boxes of the last missing parts. Ordered a harness from Vintage wiring of Maine with Packards and turn signals added. Here's a few pictures.

Gas can, tail gate chains, and new wipers installed. Headlights ready to assemble and motor ready to drop in (as soon as I readjust the distributor).
