Restoration of my 1942 Ford GPW Jeep

The kids were happy, and there were high fives all around:

 

 

Here's what they looked like in one piece:

 

 

 

Here's a couple of shots of the '43 MBT trailer:

 

 

 

It's all together now. Mostly, I am on a mission now to get the Carryall done as I am really excited to work on the Dodge VC1.

I followed your radio command car restoration with great pleasure. It was fascinating to see how you figured your way around all the complications you came up against. If not too much trouble, I'm sure there are a few of us here who would love to see your progress on any other projects.

I completely agree! I love to see your restorations!

 

I now know where all poor, unwanted WWII vehicles go. Your garage!!!

I enjoyed the jeep resto....Very  interesting, and i like the top up on the jeep. I think it looks cool that way.

 Seems they have one in the collection at the National Military Vehicle Museum in Dubois Wy. Of which I had never previously heard, They have a slick video on their website but it doesn't show this truck.

Looking forward to the new restoration blog, John!!

Meanwhile my 1942 GPW was finally finished last July... Already have 400mls on it without any trouble...

Johan Willaert; great looking Jeep. Do you have covers over the headlights?
