M38Cdn Refurbishment

[Peter Phillips]

Next step is the inspection and re-sealing of the steering gear box. Luckily it looks great with no corrosion or free play anywhere. I've also decided to put the body on hold until I get the steering box and electrical installed and test run this unit. I will even attempt to install a seat and faux firewall for the clutch and brake pedal to rest against and attempt to move it through all it's gears to make sure I didn't mess anything up....although everything bench tested fine The body is in really decent shape corrosion wise with only one broken bolt in the hat channel under the drivers floor. There's more stripping required and a few holes to weld up and I'll work away at the floor dents then off to sand blasting. The blaster is well versed in automotive blasting and will keep the heat off the components to avoid warpage.
