My 67 M38A1 CDN 2 and M100

[mcafee]

Well, finally got my M100 finished and hooked up to the A1.

[Jon Skagfeld]

Hey, Tom...I greatly admire your skill and ability to produce a great result in such a short time! $90.00 to Brian Asbury will get you a cam tarp for the M100.

Where's the drool key on my keyboard?

Are you still planning to attend cruise nite(s) at Heritage Mall in Owen Sound?

Question: Why did you register the vehicle with regular plates when you could have registered as HV for $18.00, plus about $140.00 for insurance?

[Pete Z]

Just wondering what paint did you use for your M38? Is that the semi-gloss OD that they originally came with?

On the subject of historic plates. Apparently if you have a historic plated vehicle you are only supposed to drive it in parades or to and from shows. No Sunday drives or trips to the corner store allowed. Who enforces this (law? rule? suggestion?) I have no idea, but it is the official word from the MTO.

The other thing with historic plates is that you can't get them personalized, so no matching the plate number to the CFR number of your HMV.

Jon, thanks for the comments. I will definately be around the cruise nights this summer. When do they start up? Are you planning on coming up to Tobermory for the Chicheemaum weekend car show, there is usually 100 plus cars.

I went with the reasons Pete said for the regular plate, and I pay less than 140 for insurance...

Pete, I went with a flat Olive drab that I had access to. Not quite right, but I like the flat look more than the semi gloss, plus it doesn't show every little dent and ding as bad...

I'll advise Cruise Night startup when I hear of it.


Anticipate attending Big Canoe car show. Advise dates again.

Your CFRs look to be vinyl numbers vice stencil. Yes/No?

[mcafee]

Hi jon, they are indeed Vinyl. So easy to put on, and if I decide to paint with camo later, very easy to remove.

... as I hunch my shoulders and try not to sound superior ... the CFR should be on the INSIDE along the dash, not on the rocker panel. The number would be on the front and back already. No need to repeat it on the sides.

Where would the CFR# be on the front and back? For whatever reason I thought that the ECC# went on the front & rear bumpers with the CFR# on the rocker below the door opening on M38A1 CDN2's. That of course would be prior to any flat OD or 3 colour camo being applied once in the field.

Mine came with a number on the rocker panel, no numbers front or back. The nujmber on the 'dash' was actually on the lower frame of the windshield and this was a replacement and therefore misleading. A quick glance at my collection of photos shows the CFR on the rocker panels on a fair number of M38A1s.
