Original Details Checklist, 1946

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   As we come down the home stretch of re-assembly, I'd love to confirm the consensus opinion on a host of detail questions.
The Subject is '46 2A 29289.  This was one of the 29XXX series with a modified MB chassis, which we've faithfully restored along with all the ad hoc mounting brackets and surgery. 
Color is definitely Pasture Green, which we've reproduced based on some good paint in the tool well. 

Based on my longtime lurking on this site, and various searches, I believe the following to be , but would love to gather last minute opinions:
Things to Paint Black:
Hood hold-down
vacuum lines
Spare wheel carrier
Parking lights
Mirror (what size mirror is correct '46?)
Wooden hood blocks for windshield
Bumper
Gauge surrounds
steering column and steering shaft
Floor access panel (for master cylinder)
throttle pedal
Fuel cap
Fuel Tank (??? confirm? I've seen some body color...)
Seat frames
transfer case lever boot surround ring on floor
Parking brake handle??? I've seen it both ways... 

Other details:
Windshield extender hardware is galvanized, or plated, but not painted
Most Fasteners are plated/unpainted
Footman fasteners are flathead, slot, with sheet-metal acorn nuts (any sources for these?)
Is there any guidance on Fasteners generally?  My default is 1946 vintage.
I've seen photos of a rear chain removable link with a pivot/hinge pin in the center.  Any sources?
Headlight rings are body color, but do I detect that the inner ring of the headlight itself is painted black?
Windshield wiper, I know they made many variations.  What is correct? Source?  Any NOS out there?
Passenger side wiper: hand operated?  Or should I simply omit?
What is the story with Square vs. Round washers on windshield frame?  Which is correct?  Dimensions?
Boot around transfer case levers; suede?  color?  
Any other detail elements I'm missing? 
Thanks very much in advance for any assistance. Backstory:

	Mighty nice lookin’ jeep. But then, green is my color. Would you by chance have a source, or a recipe for that, that you could share? BW
	It is NOT a Jeep Willys! It is a Willys jeep. Happy Trails! Good-bye, Good Luck, and May the Good Lord Take a Likin' to You! We Have Miles to Jeep, Before We Sleep.
