m 37 resto in new brunswick

[pauljboudreau]

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!
