Troy's 1953 M38A1 Restoration: Frame
http://troy-m38a1.blogspot.com/2009/01/frame.html
Monday, January 19, 2009. I finally took some pics of my frame. For now it’s sitting outside on my utility trailer since I don’t have anywhere else to keep it. Between blasting and painting, it looks brand new. I’m going to pick up my springs this week, so I should have info / pics about that later. Posted by Troy E. Davis.

Monday, February 18, 2008. More work on the Front Axle. And the bearings all look OK. Where I have wire brushed the outside, I am keeping it covered with WD-40 to keep it from rusting. I did have some questions that I posted to some Internet boards - we'll see what answers I get back, if any . Is there a better way to strip the outside in prep for paint? I want to avoid getting grit inside the housing as much as possible. . What is the preferred sealant ( Permatex 300. 160; - the fill/drain plugs. Can I...
