We love cars, trucks, buildings and pretty much anything old!!! Metal Mojo started in 2015 as a metal art & light fab shop. Join us in the shop and on the road while we explore or tear into projects..some that work out and some that don't!
Super Quick Junk Yard Trip.
Stopped at the local Pick A Part for some shop truck bits and a quadrajet for the olds and came across some old iron!

The Great Race 2024!
มุมมอง 456หลายเดือนก่อน
To Jump right to the Cars coming in go to 4:30 in the video! The great race runs every year, this year from Kentucky to Main, and we went to one of the lunch stop-overs which was in Purcellville VA. The teams get about an hour to stop. Our friends at "Classic Motors and Machine" were one of the sponsors of the lunch stop-over and invited us down to enjoy the spectacle. It's a rather long video ...
Don't steer me wrong

Revisiting the hard steering issue on the M37 Godzilla. This video was mostly shot earlier in 2023 but got lost in the shuffle.
Work begins on the Olds

Our first time back in the shop after the holidays and we begin working on the 1977 Olds Cutlass Supreme that we acquired at the end of summer 2023.
A New Project?

Sometimes you come across a deal you just can't pass on... even if you have absolutely no room for it.
What a Deal!

We made a quick stop at a yard sale we happened to be driving by and found some good stuff...well, in my opinion.
Someone take the helm!!!

Repairing a Bay-Star boat helm that we brought back from Florida, it got a lot more involved than we originally thought it was going to be.

Wow thats awesome that cars that old are still there.
Been there! Ugh.
👍🏁🏁👍
Looks great and having the original milage is awesome
Where dud you order your 12v starter from?
Believe it or not...Walmart.com and it was at my door in two days!
@@MetalMojo Do you remember the part number?
I was able to find it in my past orders...it wasn't cheap! This was back in 2022 so I'm not sure if the price will be the same. (New Starter MDG6002 MDG6001 Prestolite 3410-USA $289.70)
I just picked up a 62. Was an everyday driver until 6 years ago when illness prevented owner from driving it. Sat ever since. Brakes go to the floor now and i haven't attempted to start it yet. Needs new batteries and looked over.
Good luck with it! They are definitely fun to drive around...although they're not very fast, they still turn heads!
It came with tons of parts. I watched all your videos on repair. Great stuff
Would you have to buy the pump with the “auto shut off” or anyone would work?
No...this ice machine circulates water the entire time it is running (by design) I wired the new pump directly to the wires from the original pump, so when the ice hopper gets full, the machine shuts off the pump automatically until it calls for more ice.
Thks for the video mines a 53 putting body and bed on a 1996 chev 3500 4x4
That will definitely make it more driver friendly... Good luck with the project!
Also you can adjust the slack out of box .
Ck the oil in the steering box .
Like just bought me a 52 m37
Good luck with it! Ours is not easy to drive but we still have a blast with it!
@@MetalMojo thks putting the body on a 1996 one ton chev 4x4 crew cab duelly why payed $150.00 like the one on utube with the spare wheel in the middle
Fractured my spine? Yeah, I’ll just jump on the floor and crawl under my truck to bring you a video. 😂 You are hard core dude! Hope you’re doing well.
Wow....but man, that could go South quick!!! Lol
Yes...I know what you mean! I do mostly spray cans on it just for that reason, definitely need some revisions for lid safety in the future!
my paint shaker is my arms
Imagine if you put a flashlight on the other end
You’re leaking something sir
Hopefully the bottle of trans fluid in the trunk isn't a sign of things to come!
Maybe you found out already ,but the lever on the winch is your Free Wheel lever if it's not froze up. You shift it then pull cable out by hand. Shift it back to normal for winding in. Your doing a Great Job I have a couple M trucks and power wagon Tom
Nice, u got a sub
Thanks for the sub!
Thank you
is the owner MATT
No..not Matt.
That pussy Cat poppin on air was hilarious🤣😁🤣
Good save
Stays on. It is the vent line, which vents to the intake. To allow water crossings without water getting in Master cylinder
Nice Truck, I am working on a 66 wm300 power wagon
Nice! Gotta love the old Power Wagons!
@@MetalMojo They are quite the truck for sure.
Put mine on hold
Western Pennsylvania where at ??I'm up in Akron Ohio
We're in Pittsburgh, not too far!
Hey, you’re staying busy and hopefully having some fun doing it.
Cool. I had a 67 m-715...this is like it's little brother.
I had to heat up the clevis pin to get it free. It was stuck to the pedal in the center. I pulled the whole pedal box after that because there was slop which appears to all be on the shaft itself. Easy enough to make a new one 3/4" round with a key on each end for the clutch bits. The clutch eye on the outboard end is also nearly worn through so that needs to be filled/drilled. I don't have the valve on top of my master. Did you ever figure out what that was about?
My jeep is the same way. Must be a brand thing
Isnt it the cover
@shadowflame8942 yep, it's the chrome caps on the lug nuts. Seems to be what ram, dodge and jeep used. Cheap parts
@@Elite-Purecell Yes! But once that cover spins you're chiseling it off and grabbing a smaller socket!
@@MetalMojo thats why i took mine off so j dont hav the problem
@@Elite-Purecell Yep! They were the last three on this truck, of course they came back to bite me in the but 1200 miles from home! But they're all gone now!
That shut off on the master cyl is for fording. Im going to use it for bleeding my brakes.
Great job. thats the I would have done it. I have had a m37 for years. It has turned into a hobby. I am a 74 yo military veteran. Drove one in vietnam. This is the first I should be able to drive it on the road. Also live in western Pa. Call my the beast. Will watch more.
No use one wire cloth covered #4 jic fittings
Im putting my m37 body on my 1996 3500 chev 4x4 / frame keep the 454 4l80 build it simler to HogernDodge 55 utube
Its good you wore a mask. Its best practice to wash the brakes down with water before disassembly and never use air to blow them off. Old vehicles and some new after market parts use asbestos.
Definitely a good tip! I used to work on big rigs and we would chisel of the old lining, grind the shoes and then bolt new lining on. A lot of dust and airborne debris involved. ALWAYS used a cartridge mask.
Thanks
As far as the pinion angle on your Rod, could you “spot” things into place, pre-load the chassis (simulated body weight) and then check the pinion angle? I’ve never built anything from scratch, so I’m pretty sure I don’t know anything. Just curious. I used to have a Toyota 4x4 and changed pinion angle with angled shims when I lifted it with taller springs.
Keep doing , thanks. I have a 34 to
A grease sert would have been great somewhere on that hub after drum came off. I'm hoping my 72 M300 (RV) front brakes/hub are the same, they look similar. :) Great vid. Now having trouble finding brake booster 54-73143 from Cardone. Everyone is out of stock. argh
Godzilla going up for sale this summer? Oh no! Tell me this is just a bad dream.
Bet you wish you could spend more time in Florida! Wish I could spend some time in Florida, as it is currently 12°F here in Idaho.
I sure do! We're already back in Pennsylvania and it's quite a shock to the system! Not to mention the cost of trying to stay warm here!
On a more cheerful note, the five wire thingamabob is called the spider. It provides a common link for the gauges that need it. Replacements are available from most antique military vehicle dealers.
Thanks, hopefully I will eventually tackle that job.
Sadly, no one was able to warn you that you should never open these old gauges. The glow in the dark numerals were painted with radioactive paint in those days. The paint contains radium. Inhaling the dust can lodge microscopic particles in your lungs which can lead to radiation poisoning. The plastic lenses provide a degree of protection from the actual radiation. By opening the gauges you now have an unprotected source of radiation pointing at you. You have to decide if the risks outweigh the $95 for a new gauge. The military replaced broken gauges and, since the '70s, treated the scrap ones as contaminated waste. To retain a record of the milage when a speedometer was replaced, the military puts a sticker on the dash the that states, "Add _ _ _ _ _ miles to total". Please don't open any other old gauges. Replace them or have them serviced by specialists with the tools and equipment needed to repair them safely. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radium_dial
Thanks for the info! I'm glad I didn't mess with the numbers even though it sounds like I opened Pandora's box already!
the "bleeder "...thats a fording vent....goes to your air cleaner assy
Doing great....hotrodders have been stepping the boxing plates back for years.... forgiving weldup with a 1/4 setback... but I like your idea too of nesting the lines. Don't beat yourself up....I got a Miller 225 mig and half my weld still look like shite!
Thanks! I like to blame my welder but I'm pretty sure it's me! lol
Every time he says. What is this? I said " It's Military "...👍👍 well worth your time to rehab it yerself!
I just tried this on my 41 WC-6 but the axle is to short to engage the hub. Good thing I have free returns. :)
I was hoping it would somehow make the steering more friendly, but unfortunately it made no difference.
