Thanks bud. It was almost an obsession for a while, but I'm truly proud of how she came out!

After bumping around in the buckboard 715, the M37 ride will spoil you.

I really enjoyed this write-up on your build. Your M715 project turned out nicely. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Most recently...
The main thing I've done is start the preparation to register her as a "Historic Military Vehicle", so "Dirty Gerty" needed to come off the hood and be replaced with her VIN, Military style...
And a new glamor shot outside the house...
I believe when I get home, I'll paint the bridge plate to match...

I've got to find some semi-transparent tape so I can outline the numbers. All of the stencils I found are too large or small.

Does anyone know the correct font for the numbers?

Would this be correct for the bridge plate?

Search Delta Team Decals on FB. I have heard good things about them.

Here is the specific page on Delta Team Decals that has the bridgeplate kits, Bridgeplate (deltateamdecals.com) Note that this kit comes with enough numbers to fully restore a plate and is pretty reasonable for only $10 with free shipping.
