well today was a little more productive then yesterday, yesterday i spended the day fixing and old mercury boat engine to sell it and get more $$ for the m-37 project! i got the bumper straigthened and i got the body filler on it sanded, then i got the first coat of prime on it and now it is a game of more ligth sanding! i also got the driver side bearing and hub in place on the rear axle, but the bummer is i forgot the clip holding the seal so ill have to take it off and put the clip tomorow, i oppened up one of the thin can that came with the truck thinking it was a whell bearing but it was something else i dont know where it goes but i will find out at some point, i put 2 picture of the bearing in the thin can to show how they use to store the spare bearing back in the day , it is pretty neat, it looks like a meat can...lol anyhow here are the pics of the day , enjoy! thin can and bearing bumper straigth and ready for body filler and after shot with the first layer of primer on the hub i got togheter only to notice i forgot the clip holding the seal in place! and the 2 clean rear shaft!

well today started out good , i got most of the front bumper straigth and i fiddled with detail while the body filler/primer/finishing putty dried, up until the day turned shocking, geez i still have a little cramp in the arm, the compressor plug decided it was time to burn out, it took the end of my heavy gage extension cord with it, stupid me picked it up and got buzzed pretty good, lucky enuf i did not get harmed, but i did loose some time fixing the damage and some cash, i ended up almost finishing the bumper any how here are the pics of the day , enjoy! prep on the rear shock i guess they are monroe! this is where i was at with the bumper when the shocking part of the day occured! the responsible for the shock! fixed up the damage, it wasn't easy finding a socket to fit such a big extension! and this is where i left the bumper for the week end , monday i should be able to paint it!
