TOOOOOO MANY PROJECTS!!!!

Post by Tim Powell »

How do you know when to stop buying "old iron"?
We had the M-37 & trailer out on display this week so I started working on the old Jeep trailer.
It's hell to get old and not be able to see when your welding. Burned a lot of wire today & some welds aren't even holding anything together! (DUH)
Got a good start replacing the back of the wagon, hope to make a bit more progress tomorrow.
Been invited to take the M-37 to an event out of town next weekend. I'm supposed to work, we'll see what happens.
Why don't Folks just buy want they need and not modify these things? I mean, really!

Thank You Folks!
You make me blush. Trying to keep everything looking right but I'm not not the best "body man" on the block.
All the kind words sure make the project well worth the effort. Just a simple tribute from the Powell's.
I love to see the "smiles" when the "motoring public" drive past our house.
Been invited to Wapello County Heritage Days next Saturday with the M-37. My scheduled weekend to work,
but I'm going to ask for the day off. Not holding my breath as Saturday is smack in the middle of my work week. :cry:
