I hope you all had a good Christmas Did anybody get any MV related gifts? My wife surprised me with a calendar made from my shots of the M along with pictures of old trucks I took while on vacation. Very nice.
My mom is 83 and drove the 20 miles to our house in her mighty Crown Vic (I think all seniors are issued those ) God bless her.

After all the kids, guests, and grandkids left Christmas night I retreated to the garge (where else?) to unwind. Cleveland Ohio is home to the Great Lakes Brewing Company which produces some of the finest Micro Brews available in the Northeast. I grabbed one (maybe two) along with a Partagas Black Label cigar and took this shot:

My thanks to all of our troops past and present who through their sacrifice have allowed us to enjoy our freedoms. I wish all a great New Year

Just browsed the rest of your restro pic's WOW excellent work

I got a bumper, an M42 retractable light and some bow corners yeeeeeeHaaaaaaw

Calender sounds like a winner, no M stuff here, it comes all the time anyway, according to Doroth? (BTW, I'm waiting for a battery box)
Never met a brew I didn't like!

New Christmas addition to the fleet. Basically purchased for the parts and the plow.

Poor thing has been beat hard and put away wet. All glass broken / missing, boat gas tank for fuel tank, body chock-a-block full of rust, and that is just the beginning. But it runs (sort of) and was only a mile away and as mentioned it has a plow. Makes me appreciate the condition of my other M37 a whole lot more.

But more importantly it will keep the other '54 M37 company.




So now it is getting tight under the barn. The 1970 Jeep Gladiator, and the two 54 M-37s make their own little convoy. Yet another reason to add on to the back of the barn.



Happy Holidays to all.

AAHHH nothing like the man cave and a cold beer!!

I got the time to finish my M101 sort of a Christmas gift.

Thanks for the kind comments M-Thrax. While I was having that beer I still found it hard to believe I built that truck.

RixM37, the trailer looks great. I was thinking of one or a mobile kitchen to cook at events.

Jefferson, If you are going to part that rig out I would be interested in the winshield rest hardware off the hood. Let me know.

DAP, Were those gifts to you from you or was somebody thoughtful enough to get a guy what he actually wanted?

If it runs, use it as the dedicated plow truck, this way your good M37 won't have to see use as a plow vehicle.

I bought some parts. Not ready to show off what I got yet though... wanna make sure it will fit first.
