 This is my '47 some modifications . 
 Tires are the latest ,
  little honey stained it for me, that's right, gray wood stain blended with floor sealer. 
  grill and bumper painted with high heat barbeque paint rolled on . 
  
  I've got another complete body to swap out once I get a chance to cut and weld . 
 for now I'l be running around town as it is.

I picked this up in so.cal. high desert , i'm the second owner .
 it sat for twenty five years. 
 WWII vet died,    I picked it up,    now it's the ghost ride.

 
 minimal leaks after changing fluids. new plugs.
 no smoke . 
 typical issues, but I'm on my way.

yea !  the desert preserves everything steel , nothing fake decays . 
  what you cant see is the thick bondo on the hood and cowl . 
    wood sealer does wonders to rust. 
        I was getting stink eye but with the gray stain , now I'm turning heads .

Great looking jeep.  What size tires and rims do you have on it in the last photo (the one with the black rims)?

Thanks

Remington    Mud Brute     30"9.50  15" 
                                      these have a 7.5" foot tread . not too wide .
                                   they fit nice on an 8"wide rim.
