Finally, Project Lazarus is DONE !!
It's been a LONG battle, but I like the results. Time now to enjoy it for awhile. The ENTIRE history is on my web site, as well as more pix of the final product.
Thanks to everybody on the forum who helped, either directly, or indirectly through having their photos available for reference.

Now THAT'S what we're talkin about!! I like the way you ran the
under hood 12V wiring thru conduit and hid the 12V coil-
nice touch.. _________________ keep 'em rollin'

Bill,
As I read your story about Europe and how you had your M38 shipped back to the states, it the same story I received when I bought mine. Mine came to Utah though as I was told. The guy I bought it from said he bought it from the GI who brought it over from Europe, so that would make me the 3rd owner, besides Uncle Sam.

Unfortunately, this is not the one I shipped home, I sold that when I needed some money for college. I do wish that I had kept it though! I tried to locate it in the town where it was sold, but despite several ads in the local paper, I never was able to track it down.
'Lazarus' is a total unknown, no record at all of where it came from. It spent it's time in Hades, I hope to treat it better.
Only problem now is: What do I do now!!!!!! _________________ "Frugality keeps me in the Game"
