Wow! Pistons without holes, chips or wallowed out ring grooves..... When you start getting new parts, the project starts to get real again.

Good stuff '56! Its Christmas time for Flossy. NOS parts are the best.

I got a box of parts today!!! And I got bearings that were packaged in 1956, what a coincidence, My first NOS parts!

Well, unfortunately some lines got broken off due to the fitting being seized on the flare. Thanks, Bob, I think I'll get some of those, save a...

Your old metal lines should be pretty good, but check the flares to make sure you don't have any fatigue cracks. I had one drip at the upper...

Here is the link. They should have them all. https://quartertonparts.com/product/oil-pressure-gauge-lower-oil-line-braided-cotton-jacket/ I...

I wonder if bad rings caused the holes in the piston, there were no signs of excessive heat. Awhile back I believe there was an update on PeeJ...

Not many think about that one '56. The oil consumes space and does not compress, it is flammable and can ignite early. It leaves carbon deposits...

Thank you all for the super kind words, it really motivates me to keep going! I appreciate ya'll watching the video, I really enjoy making them. It...

Happy silver anniversary!! Hope you enjoy your vacation, I bet there's lots of cool things to see in Spain. The jeep will be where it is when you get...

Safe travels and Happy Anniversary Davide!

Great job '56 on getting your license. Of course we had little doubt in you since you've been driving Flossy plus anything else with wheels around...

Thanks Bob, I saw that link a while back and noticed the lubrication holes between the transmission and t-case when I had them apart. I've had to...

Nice job on the video, I enjoyed watching it!

Yikes did I say beer? I meant coffee.

" https://youtu.be/383GnuKWbNI?si=RUvE_4iXVaJsN-bM" That is a very well produced video. I am impressed that you have the right tools to do the...

"On top of that I just got my drivers license today, so now I'm really fired up!" It is easy to forget that you are as young as you are. In a...

You are in good shape now '56. I didn't think you were going to have the cash in doing it right, you thought you were headed for financial ruin! Your...

Here's a video of getting the Hurricane torn apart, if you want to check it out. https://youtu.be/383GnuKWbNI?si=RUvE_4iXVaJsN-bM

Thanks for asking, I actually just got word today. So the crank needs ground 0.010", and the bores need 0.030". The bores ended up having 0.012"...

It's been quiet for a while - what's happening with the engine rebuilder?

Thank you, I'll give it a shot and see what happens.

I think you are all over it with your hypothesis on the choke. At 72 deg it should be closed all the way and with a small amount of preload keeping...

Hey Bob, I'm hoping you can help me on this a bit more. As an update, I removed the carburetor and completely cleaned and rebuilt it. I put it back...

That is just fantastic! What a great ride. The M38 is a concourse restore. Great job!

Continued from above... Seat Back in....It's a M38 Again!

Continued from above... Tightening up the fuel time behind the tank, the fitting is recessed so I had to get creative to tighten it :-)

Continued from above... The dressing is applied to both surfaces then let sit for a while for the solvents to flash off. After that it's ready...

Continued from above.... Here I removed some paint on the rear fuel tank mounting tab so the tank will ground properly. The fuel sender needs a...
