So, maybe you just named it. Jigsaw! Got to have a name for it.  You made the right friends that have extra parts and know how. I think you are a genious! John

Maybe if I can get enough fixed up we could have a jigsaw puzzle jeep to build during FCT.   ---------------------------------- Didn't John Cash write a song about this?

Crap. I was just going to offer mine! How about the windshield for the arctic top? Maybe the balance of my top could be used for parts too?
I've got to figure out how to get rid of this darn thing.

Oilleaker, I think jigsaw would be a good name for the frankenjeep. I'm beginning to think I've got two jeep projects going here, Chilly-Willys the M38, and Jigsaw the frankenjeep. See what you've done to me? I've been puttering with one jeep, Kate's Karriage for years, now all of a sudden I've got two more to build. Dang you John!!
W54W, Yes, but in his song he needed an adapter kit to get the parts to fit. In mine all the parts are interchangeable.
Athawk11, Bring it up anyway. Between these two projects I may have a need for it. Especially if I use Jigsaw to plow in the winter.
jpet, just think of the nice cool shade an arctic top would offer on those sweltering hot days high in the mountains up above treeline where shade is scarce. Or the help with staying dry (er) as we dash down the mountain trails in a raging thunderstorm.  Or we could all simply pull the top off for FCT and someone could use it without a top or windshield.   |

To each their own but if you change your mind, I can provide a canvas convoy.

Mine must be an early model, it uses an MB inner windshield. If yours has an M38 type, Tim, it might be a better choice. Some parts of my top are not in the greatest shape, maybe between the two we can make one good one. A Jigsaw Top for a Jigsaw Jeep!

Actually jpet, I have been thinking about a canvas top for Kate's Karriage so she'll have some foul weather coverage. Let's talk about that thru pm's.

Based on the Jeeps you will be building from leftover parts being described as "a collection of misfits and screwballs", it sounds like you are building a real "Black Jeep Squadron"...

Mike, would you please finish putting parts on my jeep before starting the next one? I look forward to hearing from you that I can go up for a test driving weekend! I need as much tuning up as the jeep does.

Does that mean I should bring my GPW? A side note: We've had several GPW's on the tour before, but I don't recall ever seeing an MB. BW

No worries Kate, I'll have your jeep up and running, complete, this spring. Just have to get all this furniture moving taken care of first. We'll get you up here for some private jeeping lessons so you can go like a pro at this year's fall color tours.  
Joe Friday, I think you got that right, only it'll be a green jeep squadron!
