I have one. but need to get my bigger sandblaster up and running. It's pretty damp here this time of year so for now I'm just doing the big stuff with the frame and drive gear, I hope to blast in the spring.

The old boat did not make it into the water last summer, I had to build a trailer for it , the guy who gave it to me wanted the old one back. Also I still need to buy a water pump assembly, the previous owner ran it dry and it ate itself. I did the vid to send to a buddy of mine and only put it on TH-cam for a laugh. I will do an update next summer. May be 45 seconds

I just got the parts truck home today, Hopefully we can make something worthy out of whats there.

I owned a M37 almost 20 years ago now, I had to sell in because of a move and have missed it ever since. The WC will fit into the family nicely and will be a keeper. Looking fwd to fishing trips into the mountains and putting the logging roads.

That is so freaking cool! Can't wait to see the progress.

@@nwpia Me either

I'm still kicking. Hope you are doing well. TH-cam hasn't been notifying me of your videos in awhile. I will do a search and see what you have been up to.

Wile E. was my childhood hero

@@spurgear4 Still mine! Darn that Roadrunner!! LOL

@@kbjerke I would like a 440 road runner though

@@spurgear4 Beep! Beep!

My Model a ford is the same way, other old rigs I have operate like you mentioned but the two old fords are the same.

@@spurgear4 ok , but the manual choke control is pull out and it stays there until you move it , someone for some reason put a spring on it , which isn't correct

Our 8N has the choke like this one. Ours has always returned when released

I love the old girl.

I have had this since i was a teenager. It sat in my dads shop for over twenty years while I was in the airforce waiting for me. Probably going to have it until I kick off. Happy Holidays

And airplanes

I really need to do another video. Working four days a week on old float planes and trying to keep the house together so not as much time as I used to have. The Champ is coming along nicely though and Last week I bought a beautiful little piper vagabond.

@@spurgear4 You're an incredibly busy lady! And obviously very talented. I, too, found out that after I retired, I had very little "free" time! LOL Congrats on the Vagabond!

Yeah you do

Hi, I will likely make more videos but pretty busy here lately trying to get the spring cleaning done. I got my pilots license in my twenty's but didn't fly much because of work and family. Now in my fifty's and figure its time to get things going again. I worked on heavy helicopter in the military for just over thirty years so have the ability but the money is a balancing act, aviation is expensive. Building a Peitenpol sky scout too but it got hung up in the basement until the Aeronca is done. Thanks for watching.

@@spurgear4 Wow that is awesome. Keep up the great work. I subscribe just in case you do start putting out more videos. My 6 year old daughter and I will be your biggest fans, lol.

@@nwpia Thanks. Say hi to her for me.

Getting there. How is the cub doing

@@spurgear4 the cub is doing great. Been flying it a lot on the slats I made and loving them

That's funny, I have a set of fly baby plans on the shelf. Maybe some day. Have a great evening

@@spurgear4 all the best on your build!

@@silvermanewj4366 thanks, have a great weekend

Thanks, I'm trying my best to get some of the projects done, although I may have to pass some on to the next generation

I was considering putting plexi on it again, it came with the window but it was pretty busted up so I figured I would bend up some sheet. I'm probably going to leave it aluminum though to cut down on the heat from the sun, and the 025 is actually lighter than the plexiglass it came with.

@@spurgear4 the small amount of weight is sure worth the views. And the heat isn't that bad.. unless you live in Arizona lol

@@Lickety-Split you have me reconsidering. I live on Vancouver island so not so hot really. I'm checking out smoked lexan next time I go to town

I always forget if its lexan or acrylic that is affected by fuel and avgas.. be sure to do your research

@@Lickety-Split I think lexan may craze in the sun. I'm going to have to do some research. I like lexan because it won't crack when drilling and can be bent in a sheet metal brake.

I have been pretty busy, I will try and do an update if we get some nice weather soon

I wish mine was an earlier one with the oil tank but sometimes you take what you find. I was born in 65 so I always wanted a 65 just because.

@@spurgear4 I was born in `59 but a `59 ,first year T120 would cost huge money. Worse than that , they are now investment type things and you can`t enjoy them. I miss the `70s when you couldn`t give British bikes away at gunpoint in England. Even more I regret not keeping a garage full of them.

Yes, You should clearly leave the bike with some of it's traces of history ! I absolute love those old bikes too!

Here is a link to free plans of some vintage aircraft. Fun to browse through even if you don't build

@@spurgear4 Thank You wery much for the link! Your little collection is genuinly awsome!

@@spurgear4 waaaay cool! Thanks, Brianne.

Yes I glued the old nut back in with jb weld.

Thanks, I have had the old Ford for years, the Mercury is a newer acquisition both run like tops though, I broke a casting off a bike carb once popping out a Welsh plug, it was a bad day, very carefully reinstalled it using the magic jb weld and it's still holding. Still bugs me though, it broke like cheap plastic.

@@spurgear4 sounds like a bad cast I just had my clutch cable bracket on my Z1000 literally fall off in my hand just putting the wrench on it. (Stupid pot aluminum sometimes huh?) Just came off a 50 mile mountain trail ride on it and the 4 hundred pound test zip ties are still holding... New bracket yet to come. I love old cars I used to work in a Fab shop and worked on a WIDE variety of cars from vipers, and vets, to massive trucks/ RVs, to column drive pickups, and my favorite the GTO LeMans... Best line EVER at the end of the day getting ready to close shop and deciding what to bring in and what to leave in the yard my boss said "first things first, everybody grab a classic!"

@@spurgear4 what year is the merc? My Dad had one about that era. It was definitely NOT as pretty as yours... name was "spot" you can imagine.

@@adamrubinger2644 it's a 1950. His name is Freddie

Haha Freddie Mercury. I love it! That's my problem none of my vehicles have names...
